#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

oohhhh nooo! I'm soooo scarreeed I will lose one of the last dps buttons!
If you intend on threatening us, please try harder. That is one of the blandest threats for "not getting good" I have ever seen. We having nothing to lose at this point.

Here's a thought: Maybe you get a lot of inexperienced healers because a lot of the experienced healers left from how the devs keep stripping its agency? Maybe less and less experienced people play it because when they get good they are rewarded with healing less and spamming 1 button? Taking away the DoT will only make more people leave and thus making the problems much worse. Or maybe barely anything changes because as it is 1 1 1 1 1 spam would still be a thing. When you have a role with no responsibility and nothing to do you get players who queue for the instant queue and to try getting off of doing very few things scot free.

You will be when you can only deal damage by healing missing health. No more damage buttons at all.

Tanks will have twice the self-healing and mitigation options as well.

Is this the new bait style? Some healers bad so toys taken away?

[Aravell]

I'm not sure if people realise that if you design for the worst, you end up having the worst.

So further simplifying healers would just end up with worse healer players. Not that some that we see right now aren't already pretty bad.

This is why I am a fan of specs. Yes meta driven players that chase the world first clears or use speed run strats would go with the meta spec. For everyone else they would be free to play the spec they enjoy most and the devs could add different play styles for each spec and even have differing difficulties associated with each spec.

Sadly this never really happens in reality. Yes, I am still salty over smn changes and I do miss old cleric stance.

I would disagree with the classification of whining, I would however point out that you forgot category number 3 - accounts that some how just got created, or have almost no posts, but somehow found this thread important enough to post in. Although they typically can't be bothered to add anything meaningful.

You certainly fell for it if it is.

Astro is in a great spot overall right now, I have been enjoying my time with it. I do miss the old cards but that is a different topic.

I am curious to hear from Sage players, who aren't striking, whether Eukrasian Dyskrasia is even used often. I would assume trash shouldn't live that long for it to be better than Dyskrasia spam; and at the same time, if the tank is doing a wall-to-wall pull, I'd expect you'd have time to dot all trash with Eukrasian Dosis while running? Is it just a niche spell, worthy of using a GCD on it?

There are a few trash blobs which are awkward, where the first group will start casting (and stop following the tank); in those cases, I find that I'll E. Dosis the first half and then just Icarus to the tank and E. Dyskrasia the rest in one go. At that point, the original group generally finally lumbers over to join us, and I can shift into normal Dyskrasia spam at that point once the target-rich environment is fully assembled.

(In particular I'm thinking of the first pull in Origenics, where the two cyclops can be Extremely Slow to come join the party by the time a group has generally booked it on ahead to the second blob.)

It's also kind of useful when you get a second group of enemies who spawn in where you're already standing; dropping E. Dyskrasia on them in one hit and then moving straight to normal AoE isn't the worst option.

So I don't actually hate the addition of it; it's not the worst option to have in places. But for like... 85% of trash pulls, yeah, I've got time to E. Dosis all the mobs individually while we're on the move.

Being a butt? Pathetic? We decide to simply not play a role and when people like you come with weird ammo against us, we are “being a butt”? Hey I’m glad you are enjoying healing, I too was like you, kinda, maybe when you’ve experienced more healing you can see it from my eyes how I feel about healing on this game. But since you came into this thread insulting us right away I’m not sure you’ll even try to do that much.
