#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Ayalu]

So, today is the first day of the massive healer strike. Can we get some statements from the people behind it on how it's going so far?

It was a call to action not a Union with members.
What answer do you expect?

Expert queues are long and most healers in it don't know how to use half their kit. Seems like lots of healer mains have quit on my data center at least.

I'm seeing a lot of Freecure fishers and Medica II spammers + Sages who just...never shield. I have seen a single Astrologian in the past few days. All of them are allergic to 1 - healing the tank in alliance raids and 2 - ever using rez. I'm honestly doing more to keep half my roulette parties alive on DNC than a good chunk of the healers I get.

ques are allways long as dps. this has been the case since day 1. msq ques however are unaffected by this even as a dps. most healer dont know hat to do because theyre not used to the content step up and because its new

update : i saw 50 healers today in the new zone

I seems that one more person didn't learn how to read :

The strike entails that players will not be participating in group content as any of the four available jobs to the healer role

Indeed, as tank and dps.

Sages who just...never shield.

The Eukrasian shields, or absolutely none of them? Was generally pretty easy to get by in EW with just the occasional (Pan)Haima or Holos while rotating Kera/Taurocholes.

flattery will get you nowhere. they were doing msq on there healers. including the trails and dungeons most of them were mid-high level with gear from the 97 dungeon

Good for them I guess (and for me, going dps in the msq is fun ngl)?

That doesn't invalidate any of the points discussed about healer design though

1. Queues in Endwalker were below 5 minutes for me for most of Endwalker. Can't speak for launch, definitely not this long.

2. New content doesn't excuse zero knowledge of their basic abilities. No Kardia, no shield Sages, Freecure fishing, Medica II spamming, not using rez. Lots of Glare mages around, too.
