#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

Meanwhile if you look at Party Finder, almost every single group needs healers. Crazy.

Looks pretty green to me.
Ofc this is not all, and there were plenty of groups with 0 healers in them.
But that could be said with groups looking for tanks as well, and there were more that were full on tanks and healers still looking for DPS.
In short, pretty standard when it comes to PF.
I wish ppl could stop using DF and PF to try and prove something.
Just play the game in a way that is fun to you without trying to make a point out of it.

Seems like it differs by data center. Aether is extremely lacking.

Another day, another day of tanks dominating the adventurer in need. Tanks still have instant queues, meanwhile healers have to wait.

So much for your strike.

I don't think I ever get an instant queue when queuing as the "in need" job.

But I do always get instant queues on healer when tank is "in need".

Did expert as gnb and had to wait 3 mins and 23 seconds. I thought it was instant

Genuine question I've been pondering for a while now: Were the devs to put most healing tools (with one or two exceptions per job) on the GCD, would that fix the issue?

Sounds like a sidegrade. Like I'm pressing buttons slightly differently and weaving less? Which sounds less busy and more boring.

Potencies would also need to be adjusted for damage so that DPS checks can still be met that required ogcd healing while DPSing before.

I'd rather just retool other stuff personally but I'm down to see other people's input on this idea

There are multiple issues with healers. There isn't any 1 thing that will fix the role. GCD heals generally have opportunity costs. If specifically heals from healers are made GCD, that means you're even better off depending on ogcd heals from other roles. That wouldn't fix anything. If you meant moving heals from all roles to GCD, it all depends on the exact implementation. If you meant moving specifically heals from non-healer roles to GCD, that would help restore healer as the goto role for healing. But there would still be the problem of the damage "rotations" using mostly 1 button. And quite big differences in effectiveness of the healing kits between healer job.

Honestly it’s a hot take but I’d massively prefer this over what we have now. I want to actually cast healing spells and have to think about what I’m casting, not just slap a single oGCD button that instantly turns all nearby mangled corpses into beautiful pictures of vitality lol.

Naturally they would never do this for like 59 million different reasons but I personally would like it better than just doing everything through oGCDs while casting dps spells 99% of the fight (being partially hyperbolic lol).

This! This is absolutely true and what I personally have been doing. I guess some people are too drawn to drama... or maybe they are "afraid" that it might end up in an actual change and/or they are "envious" of the attention? I honestly don't know, but I am curious to hear your thoughts

Is it possible to play content without tanks or healers? It could theoretically be possible to do content with just dps if we can manage to outdamage everything before we die. Though, there is more damage in DT so I'm not entirely sure what DPS composition would work if at all for this.
