#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Kathryn]

You know what would be funny if out of all this SE make changes so that enemies do quadruple the damage they do now and healing spells cost 4 times as much as they do now in terms of MP, no one will survive those wall to wall pulls anymore.

I'll put my hat in for the strike, and see about getting my static to do it. If we can clear EX content without a healer, I will simply lock out the healer role and hope PF follows suit.

Would be funny to see 'Titan Egi 2' nerfs.

As has been discussed in this thread:

https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...thout-healers.

I would like to make this the official thread for those in support of a healer strike as a collective voice to the dev team to express the dissatisfaction with the continued direction the game has gone concerning healer gameplay and what is an arrived consensus that has deemed to be a negligence towards the role, as well as the players who main it.

I would like to note that this thread is not to attack, or in any way intended to be offensive towards any member of the dev team, Director/Producer Naoki Yoshida, Square Enix, or any of its affiliates. The purpose of the healer strike and this thread is to garner support for necessary changes and adjustments to be made in order to once again validate its place in content that requires grouping, and an equal contributed effort among all members of the group in order to facilitate clears within FFXIV.

Please use this thread to voice your concerns, express your feelings in a constructive manner, point out issues, make suggestions, and to add your name to those who will be striking.

The strike entails that players will not be participating in group content as any of the four available jobs to the healer role. It is understandable that there are likely active statics that are still working on EW content and healer mains in general who would like to finish out the current expansion. In fairness, I would like to give those healers who wish to participate a grace period before the strike is official.

Please provide your feedback as to the conditions to end the strike and the date it should begin. I am thinking the strike will be officially underway when Dawntrail launches on Tuesday, July 2, 2024.

I appreciate your time fellow adventurers. Let our voices and our hearts be heard.

Healer here, finally reporting in.

I'm more than happy to support a healer strike in any capacity. As I've mentioned in other posts, I was part of the '06 Monk strike in GW, and I'll do it here, too!

I've been playing FF14 for years as a career healer, specifically SCH (no that's not a joke, but I do feel like one!). Since the release of Shadowbringers I've been dissatisfied with healer design on the whole, but primarily SCH. There's already an abundance of examples in this thread alone, so to keep this post short I won't list mine, as it'd just look like a copy/paste of what others have already said. If pressed for specifics, I'll start my essay.


I've led statics through every savage raid tier since Creator, and been part of raid groups since T5. I don't do Ultimates I've tried, but the organization was stressful enough. But I don't feel like I should have to do them in order to have fun in my role. Would Tank and DPS mains settle for such an answer, if they faced similar issues?


I've not pre-ordered DT yet. This is the longest I've waited before an expansion's launch, but nothing was really hyping me up for DT. I was hoping the information from the media tour would be enough to commit, but it's left me more hesitant than ever. Shame, as I was pleased with my character's new look in both benchmarks!

The other day I might have called this hyperbolic, but yesterday I ran some alliance raids at min ilevel as a healer and it was such a different experience. Even just enforcing a stricter ilevel sync on content would make a world of difference, but they can't do even that much.

I've been a Scholar main for most of Endwalker but I'll probably switch to Dancer or Red Mage for Dawntrail.

But I also doubt a strike would do anything unless the Japanese players were involved. Nothing has been done about the horrible state of Duty Finder duties on Dynamis. Absolutely nothing.

The same people complaining about not having enough healing to do right now, are the exact same people who would be complaining and quitting if they suddenly did have healing to do.

You think you do, but you don't.

You clearly don't know healer mains. No we DO want to heal if we didn't then why in the world have we been asking TO do it for several years now. Stop taking us out of context and assuming a VERY untrue statement. Most of the folks who threatened to quit are striking or HAVE quit for a game where they're meaningful. We don't want EXCESS healing but nobody wants that, but that's completely different to saying we don't want to deal more. You're seeing these same complaints from people NEW to healing so that should make it pretty clear that people do.

If only I could do MSQ as FSH I would at this point.
I retired my SCH with EW ; I guess I can drop the whole role (if not game, depending of the BS level of the story, but so far we got nonsensical actions based on pseudo-lore that doesn't exists because 'job quests are done')

Oh god not that quote lol, I mean I get it to a degree like making tanks and dps heal themselves well enough seems counter intuitive… the game just needs to have more punishing mechanics that will require healers lol. But yeah there is a lot of arm chair devs in here who think they have the solution but don’t know if that will work in the long term or if the majority would even want that. I will be following this space that’s for sure.

"You think you do, but you don't" Hasn't that been trademarked yet by SE?

We do want to heal - and DPS . (talk about a low-effort post)
