#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[MisterNublet]

I've had healers apologize for letting people die because they completely admitted to being asleep at the wheel, just in a Glare-trance and not paying attention whatsoever. They literally will say "Sorry didn't notice" as they spam their dps skill. At this point healers don't even feel like they need to look at HP bars at times.

Design that allows healers to mostly get away with this in many circumstances needs to be looked at.

It's not even always malicious, sometimes it's just an honest mistake - one caused by the game's design IMO.

Also literally falling asleep behind the keyboard. The amount of times I've nodded off while doing msq dungeons and expert, you'd think I'd have narcolepsy. Nope, just healer gameplay.

I'm guilty of nearly letting tanks drop dead, too. Usually Warriors. I'm so used to them requiring zero input from me that I'm there spamming my AoE and the tank is nearly dead before I realize they didn't use Bloodwhetting.

that feels like the definition of being ratio'd if I ever saw one.

There are legitimate criticism about healing in this game but this.... whatever this is ain't it guys.

It's not so rare nowadays, happened some days ago :



Current healing design is already giving bad habits and it will only get worse.

I think the insane Warrior sustain is also teaching Warriors bad habits. Namely, using zero mitigation because they're so used to just healing right back up.

Its really just a wait and see the encounter design at this point. Many people are going for the whole wait till 8.0 for job identity though.

350 is actually a lot for this forum. Many people have posted multiple times too...so...what ratio are you really observing?

According to a spreadsheet some insane person made I'm almost 80 posts all by myself lol.

[WeakestZenosEnjoyer]

isn't a ratio when a reply gets more likes than the original post?

Generating discussion isn't some kind of epic own, most people that liked the post probably also commented at least once even just a "I support the strike"

So … what are these legitimate criticisms about healing that you’re referring to? Those seems like a good thing to be brought up in this thread right now, whether one is striking or not.
