#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[ZavosEsperian]

And yeah, our community in FFXIV is leaps and bounds above most others that I've experienced.

Ahh yes, I have heard of the great community we have in FFXIV. In fact, I have looked far and wide and have seen many examples proving just how great our community is.

As pointed out in a separate thread , the accolades of many in this thread have been gone over and praised by others in this great community. They do this on their public channels maximize the amount of visibility towards these specific players, surely aiming to show people in this thread in a good light.

Perhaps a different case would be by one particular member (no witch-hunting please) of our great community, who compiled a spreadsheet of all our achievements in this thread. They seem like a trustworthy individual and are in no way trying to stoke anything negative about any particular group of players. Even you, Striker44, are included in this list, complete with your character and their achievements in terms of battle content to show just how diverse of a community we are in terms of skill level.

See how wonderful of a community we are? It is as they say, we are a great community, by the way...

Is there a reason the strike starts on the July 2nd ("official release") rather than on June 28th ("early access")?

I dont think it really matters. People who are into the strike are taking a break from the game or playing other roles since they first heard of this like i did.

People who dont care as much or just want to get their fill of healing before the strike can change what they play later like on early access or release.

Id say i really recommend people play other roles for story content anyway. Little battle encounters or solo instances on healer is a perfect way to ruin the game experience.

But yeah the point of the strike isnt actually to strike, its to get attention to the matter. It has nothing to do with actually trying to affect queue times.
I think its more just a psa. To me, i was always a healer main but started picking up dps jobs when i got bored. So, why not just wait longer to play dps and have fun too anyway? That's how i view the strike.

I support the healer strike!

I just hope devs take the positive feedback from here and use that to further better encounter design and hopefully in 8.0 better job design for healers.

not 100% sure on that. there have been good posts in the healer forums for years that were good feedback, examples, ways things could be done to change the downward slide and they have been pointedly ignored.

which is why we are where we are today... with this thread.

OK now that we're taking about healers not getting enough attention let's talk about how come tanks skills like PLD Holy Sheltron and GNB Heart of Corondum has shield animations when getting hit and Sage new class on Endwalker who came the same expansion as those skills and is a "Shield Healer" class doesn't have any shield animations like scholar on their barriers at all.
That's something that bugged me since AST nocturnal stance back in those days and I thought maybe it's a lot of work, and I been waiting and waiting they took notice but clearly they did since they're giving to tanks and I think reaper has shield animation too on their Arcane Crest, again a class that came with the Sage, the developers need to pay attention to this because it kinda hurts the dps and tanks got really cool skills, but healers are getting no animations on their shields and a 1 2 but Dps with not enough damage on tanks during dungeons to keep up the effort on healing.

I feel as if this point doesn't get brought up enough. Little details like this help sell the job fantasy and it speaks to the general lack of polish and care the healer role gets. Things like Physis 1 being 15y and Physis 2 being 30y even though at the level you get Physis 1, Kerachole is already 30y. Ruin 2 being core to SCH gameplay but still has the same animation from ARR. It's hard to argue in the dev's favour when BLM has a unique animation for manaward but the new barrier healer doesn't even have an animation for it's shield effect.

It's a minor detail that doesn't matter in the end but it just adds to the skepticism that the devs don't care about healers.

Healers really have gotten the bad side of everything, it really sucks. You all deserve to have fun as well and get as much attention as any other role. I hope they stop mistreating healers soon.
