#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

I have friends who are healer main like Sage, scholar etc and they don't mind the changes. They will still play the role because they like the job that they play. In terms of mashing glare/malefic/broil/ dosis etc. I mean i don't know.... do you healers want a midare setsugekka or spam fire 4 like a black mage and stressing over timers? I think spamming a skill is just part of the norm. Because at the end of the day. Clearing content is the end goal.

I really hate it when people deliberately miss the point either because of trolling or just deciding that sidestepping like a politician will somehow make people believe they are right.

Let's make it very simple. Use only Hakaze to kill 10 mobs. Was that boring? Okay, now imagine doing this from level 50 to level 100, where none of your abilities ever matter outside of Savage/Ultimate. That is the problem.

It really does make me wonder where they get their feedback from at this point. JP complains that we're the ones being listened to, while we keep saying that JP is the one being listened to. Part of me thinks it may be closer to Reddit or Twitter instead. Reddit has a bad habit of downvoting negative opinions off of the subreddit to the point that the feedback just simply doesn't exist, leaving only positive results, while Twitter is more concerned with GPosing, screenshots, clubs/venues, etc. (at least from what I've seen of Twitter FFXIV). If those are the ones they're listening to, it's no wonder we're in this situation, but I can't really say definitely if those 2 places are their primary audience at this point.

I mean reddit probably has the nuanced view of all listening posts if you factor in all it’s subreddits that actually generate discussion (so mainsub, shitpost and discussion)

I just wouldn’t be surprised if they look at mainsub only they get the ideas they do

Though also to be fair even mainsub was not happy with the beige nothing changes the jobs got in DT

Man, you know you screwed up when even mainsub can't defend you. Daaaaaang.

we do not need to know how to fix the problem in order to know that there is one.

Uh , you do, actually.

A weaver is on a boat. He sees a hole in the boat and it's taking on water.

"Hey Captain, the boat is sinking!"
"Well, do you know how to fix it?"
"No."
"The boat isn't sinking then. Shut up."

That's you. That's what you sound like.

Except this isn't the case in casual gameplay. I've been doing most of the roulettes as heals the past couple days, with random, typical players, and I'm healing a lot. Typical tank doing the typical 2-pack pull would probably drop dead at least half the time if I didn't actively heal. Heck, I've had to break out the whole kit sometimes, not to mention when DPS (and sometimes myself) stop paying attention to our footing and stand in bad places. I feel like the "problem" is that for many of us, the community we interact with grows smaller and ends up only including people of similar experience and skill as us, and then of course things seem easy. But that's not the norm for the typical player doing the typical DF run, and that's what needs to be taken into account from a design perspective.

Is it possible that you're just bad at healing?

[Azurarok]

tbf healers only get punished if the team is doing well so there's no incentive to heal better.

except, I am a casual. I am sure you saw the spreadsheet that someone made, with all the posters here. I am as casual as it gets. I play with randoms all the time. on the VERY RARE OCCASION.... I have to actually heal. if you, sir, actually healed on a regular basis, you would know this.

why is your experience not the same as mine? you stated as such in YOUR OWN WORDS. "I've been doing most of the roulettes as heals the past couple days" and who do you get the last couple days? people just back into the game after time off and people who have just picked up one of the two new classes, you heard of those right? Pictomancer and Viper. new jobs and people figuring out things. yes, you will get to do a lot of healing.

before you assign that to a "normal" experience.... maybe actually main healer, not take it up as a hobby. because, as things age, like the expansion.. thats not the "normal" experience.. thats a blessed rarity. but you wouldnt know that. that is the reality of casual game play sir.

This is actually a skill issue, sorry.

God like I actually feel the healer veterans not playing the role when I didn’t want to heal myself and helped a friend lvl after he helped me. And lord in heaven from the 15 healer, 5 we’re decent ones. I had a physic spamming sch when I as war was full hp. Or and perma shielding and diagnosis spamming sage. And the moment these people have to actually heal the party in scary situations go mind blank and do nothing at all

Also reading what some people write in this thread without even reading the strike post carefully or complete yapping when they don’t even touch healer with thick rubber gloves is kinda funny.
