#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Kacho_Nacho]

This always reminds me of the hilariously out of touch Scholar change in the middle of Shadowbringers, where they nerfed Energy Drain from 150 down to 100 potency with the explanation that Scholar players were focusing on DPS too much...
And then you looked at actual Scholar logs and saw that they were doing more healing than their co-healer almost every time.

Exactly! This fear healers are focusing on dps rather than health bars is so deeply entrenched that it affects all CBU3's decision making about healers, even when the data doesn't support their conclusions. In short, the devs are in an ivory tower and only listening to themselves rather than the feedback the game and its players are providing them.

Ultimately, that's why so many healers are unhappy. Years of feedback have been discounted because of Yoshi and his team made up their minds before listening to even one message from someone who actually plays a healer in the game.

Ultimately if they are unable or unwilling to make the actual act of healing the party interesting, they have to give healers better DPS buttons.

I don't necessarily agree that the healer role should become damage focused, but the fact of the matter is that it is and if they aren't changing that it may as well not be one button spam.

[Somnolence]

From my understanding, the reason Yoshi is resistant to the idea of giving healers a full damage dealing rotation is it would result in players neglecting their healing abilities and also lead to players being put under social pressure to deal damage more than their skill level may allow.

Just make all heals oGCD and all DPS GCD so this situation becomes impossible. Not using healing GCDs is already meta, why not design proper resource system around it? I am not sure if there is some game engine limitation that would prevent oGCD costing MP if this is needed.

Nooooo don't go on strike my queues will be too fast when I queue as healer nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

When this thread became nothing more then endless argument between players who want healers be healers in any content and players who want healers be DPS in any content.

Then i think it would be better if healers gets removed in 8.0 completely.

Sigh...... i really miss 2.0 and 3.0 days where healers main focus was healing without this boring spamming single DPS skill 90% of the time that we healers have being doing at least 5 years in row now, tanks didn't have any of these powerful self-sustain skills and normal content where lot more challenging and fun to play.

There are ways to please/reach them both!
By making the healer jobs different from one another regarding dps complexity/+buttons..
But they will need raise the healing requirements too, to please the other group..

All we're asking here is for something else to do during phases where little to no healing is expected. Pressing a filler spell 12 times, then renewing the dot is boring. Furthermore, our healing kit is plenty but even the hardest of content is not able to make full use of it.

If anything, the haters/gaslighters/elitist are the ones who turn this thread into what it is today. To them, healer mains should remain doormats, tools for their enjoyment, nothing more. Just look at the tags.. And the threads popping out to mock this thread? Heck someone even made a google docs of all the people participating in this strike and got their logs.. for what reason?

[rawker]

Point A: I don't think that the manifesto in the first page is the problem. It is more on the negative connotation of the word strike.
Point B: It is also clear in the manifesto on the proposed changes to be made.

Finally, all of these had been said for more than 4 years already. We've just had enough.

Provide feedback in the proper manner, through the appropriate channels. Starting some thread/strike isn't going to actually change anything in game. This might actually get their attention though since its so dramatic and completely outrageous. People need to share their thoughts and simply unsub or play something else without the drama. Devs looks at the stats. Those same stats that make them think using tomes for relics is a success. They think it's a success because so many people did it. So many people did it because there's nothing else to do. Like shb and sb both had field operations that kept people busy, but they cut that corner this expansion. It was not a success. So in this situation, if people unsubbed and provided feedback as to why, and carried on with life, the devs would take note and do what they need to. It's far too early to be jumping ahead and going "on strike" when the expansion isn't even released yet, nobody has a clue what's coming in the future yet they all here whining about things they know nothing about. This is because of a lack of content, when players get bored the drama always starts. When there's lots to do, there's much less drama. Do you guys really think male viera was worth all this? Cuz that's where the Endwalker budget went and why we have no content! :legasp:

Hope my English is good enough to understand that all.
So it’s more or less the word strike that’s the problem?

Regarding statistics for example on the relics.
I personally think these were the most successfull relics till now and yet yoshida promised changes to them so I think feedback is as important as statistics to them.

friends, the forum is not the only way to provide feedback lol you can contact them through the website or in game as well. when those systems become flooded with feedback of a particular nature , they will take notice. rather than an overlooked english forum full of trolls and people who think threads are debate sections and not feedback to the developer sections
