While at it, let's mention how tanks keep getting more/upgraded dps tools that they absolutely don't need for tanking, but it's fine for healers to keep spamming 11111 (and when we do get upgrades, it's like a whopping 10 potency difference)
It's almost like Healers are abandoned content or something... Maybe we'll get an update alongside Chocobo companions and Squadrons one of these days.

filthy healer, stay where you are.
Hardcore clear beyond Ultimate skill requirement made by Neverlands on their alt accounts doesn't prove anything !!! Healers are fine !!!


So not only are heal checks a joke so are damage checks. They really wanna go back to 1.0 FF11 mmo design lol.




I would also like to point out if you watch that video they never press a GCD heal (ie clemency) during uptime. So this was literally done with zero downside to the party other than lack of “healer fixes someone else’s mistake”
As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.
I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess


So why are healers doing less damage tanks? PLDs are now healers with stronger DPS. There's literally no benefits to taking a healer since DPS is king.
"95% of the playerbase can't do this, pf can't do this."
They can, if hector or some other guide maker made a M1S tank only guide or M4S healerless guide, that would start becoming a strat in pf. Pf are sheep who follow guides all it takes is one of them to make one with a non-standard comp before that happens.
As a first step bandaid fix just buff all Healers damage to match tanks... Or if they suddenly pretend to be worried about balance, drop down Tank DPS and make the two meet halfway.
And then they can start working on making Healers have more to do in fights than just spamming one spell.



As much as I would enjoy the utter chaos that would happen if they nerfed tank DPS, I think upping healer DPS would probably be the better choice. I don't know why they deal less damage than tanks. They are both "support" roles that bring something besides their raw DPS, so about equal damage makes sense to me.As a first step bandaid fix just buff all Healers damage to match tanks...

Is this another "but if we make the poor healers press their damage buttons, they won't be able to focus on healing" thing?




yeah, we wouldnt be able to focus on something we barely do already. oh.. the stress.
it would also apparently mean the majority represented by one particular person would be prevented from healing. (not quite sure how, but I am sure they could explain it)
