#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

Since they have to balance DPS, healing should just be a function of that.

Make all damage skills passively heal the group. Give tanks taunt and mitigation... and give all mages and melee rezz. You can limit rezzes per battle if you want.

This game is about team jump rope and dps.... this way, as long as you don't hit the mechanics, passive healing will keep you up just fine, even if you miss one or two.

The devs want total control, and healing is suffering. Just ditch it, make it a derivative of something they are much better at balancing and call it a day. The current healing mages can become dps mages with distinct magic identities.

why not make all jobs also mitigate and generate aggro? that way we only have dps.. should be easy for SE to balance just one group

Maybe... I am sure there is a way that could work. It's all just about damage and jump rope.

I'm assuming that was sarcasm. Having a game where every job is basically an "all-rounder" isn't really that interesting

Neither is just damage and team jump rope.... kind of the point. That bland system is killing any kind of fun or diversity in jobs. It all comes down to those two things.

That is the encounter design.

I hope that there 8.0 Class update is large and not half assed.
It really would have if the Devs would communicate more on that topic.

sorry for dissapointing you but i dont think so. If they would want it to change they would have done it instead of going with this for years

I mean they openly admitted they went to far with the simplification but cant dial back multiple expansions worth of changed in a patch. But i agree with Rein there.

[CaptainLagbeard]

There is literally nothing stopping them from fixing it all aside from them not doing their job.

Might make 7.1 take a bit longer, but I rather them take their time to make the game great instead of just continuing into mediocrity.

sure... as much as I like Yoshi P, how many times before has he done corpo speak just to placate the players?

I dont think he is as in touch with where the game is as much as we think or even he thinks he is.

and while sure, he DID imply that.. it was definitely not an indication they were changing direction.


"Yoshida (reflecting on the fan festival): So from now on, we'll keep working to surprise players and go beyond what they imagine. But that reminds me of something I regret… as we've continued to operate FF14, we've made the game more comfortable, a game you can play without stress. But looking back on the last 10 years, I'm thinking we've overdone that a bit.

Most Importantly came just after
Yoshida: Speaking of FF14, I would like to restore that part a little bit. If we do that, we can give everyone a better challenge, in a good way, than ever before. "

sure, HE WOULD LIKE to restore it"a little bit" but there is no guarantee. there is a lot of vagueness there, he is just spitballing and there is no solid indication that things will change... at all.
