#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

Make sure you give that 1 key a break every now and then!

Haha, it got plenty of breaks. Lots of people learning Picto and Viper right now focused on figuring out how to play it, they're stepping in more bad places than usual. Shift+F also got plenty of use in the dungeon run (where I bind my AoE).

Well, if there's one thing that not playing as healer made me realise is how many let's say "could be better" healers are out there. Holy shit.

I wonder if some of those going on "strike" will see enough of this and come to realize a key part of why healers might be designed the way they are right now, and why this attempt for "more dps complexity" won't end up going anywhere.

Imagine still thinking the strike is about just adding more DPS. Those bad players have existed since ARR, so I'm indifferent to their plight. If they still don't have a handle on the job by level 90+, they're beyond hope so why should I care?

It better not be that the reasoning because it would show that the devs have not even the most basic idea of how to design a healer in their own game. Even Wow which is much more intensive in healing has both a better healing kit and a damage kit because they know that both are important.

The line of thought that only one matters just shows incompetency

As i mentioned a few pages back, you can't be designing healers (or going by the latests trends all jobs) around the most common denominator. That's just not healthy for the game.

so, your position seems firmly in the "its okay if they reach level cap without knowing the basics of the job" camp.

I am genuinely curious as to why? if after 90 levels, they dont know or want to know how to heal a group... why are the devs coddling them? not being able to do a job at cap, and expecting to be carried and do nothing, is impacting others enjoyment of the game, and could be seen as against the TOS. and you are okay with the devs CODING for that to get worse?

So, how is the healer strike going?

Still waiting for all those people to step up and flex into healer, didn't get all my roulettes in before the reset because the queues are long.

What gonna be a conclusion of this activity i wonder? Healer unsub, Healer don't buy dawntrail?

Logged in this morning, took a look at sage and remembered what they did last minute, logged out only to return a few hours later and tag pvp as usual... But the new jobs are kinda bland in pvp so...

Like, even the naysayers admit that you're always going to have some time where your healer doesn't have to heal.

Why ignore that part of the healer kit. Why design it in the most boring, non interactive way. DPS players already despise 1,2,3 filler rotations in the classes, why should healers feel differently about their 1,1,1 situation?
