#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

At least they have the attention seeking part of being a WAR main down.

mfs pls look at me

Honey B. Lovely is that you?

Not harder directly. He was talking about stress... so they added some one-shot-like mechanics that will kill you in some DT dungeons if you are going the first time and unaware. So they wiped way more players than before and probably are happy with how "stressful" the experience was

The real stress is healer mains seeing DPS gain ability heals to make them well and truly redundant.

In my case, DPS asked me why I was hard-casting Cure 2s... next to 4 vuln stacks they had in total already

Just going to add- came back after a couple year break and DT and healing are crap....so canceled again. I like PICT and I like WAR, but generally prefer healing in games, so maybe I will come back if/when DT is skippable or healing is fun again. Otherwise, I am looking forward to Visions of Mana. At this point, I think FF is kind of just good for a hit of nostalgia as the IP really isn't the same anymore. (For me, but I'm old)

I mean this is a fun thread you get non healer players who never go to the healer section of the forums come in here to talk about a role they don't care nor know anything about. It's just really funny.

Two thoughts:

Fusefield requires some modicum of heal CD planning at min ilvl. Cannons to a lesser extent so.

Everything else is a borefest that can be solved without even planning your heal and mit oGCDs. And most of the checks are still mit checks.

Their encounter design team is quite obviously no longer designing for a trinity. They're designing for 8 players dancing through a script. Split into 2 groups of 4 called Team A and Team B that group together or pair up in different ways to solve mechanics.

Modern trinity survives not by the grace of tankbusters or heal checks but by the grace of light party stacks and pair stacks.

Yeah, there are 2 mechanics on the whole tier that are "harder" to heal.

Modern trinity survives by the grace of "you can't queue without a healer if you're not a full party", M1S & M4S (and probably M2S, but I haven't heard about it) have been cleared week 1/2 without healers. For stacks and pairs you can play 4 tanks and effectively resolve every mechanics (we could even argue 3 tanks and 1 dps having to adjust when it is debuff related).
However, I wouldn't be surprised if in a near future, SE would create a new dichotomy : "DPS & Supports", and healers would be grouped with tanks under "Supports", and you would be able to queue with 1-2 tanks + 0-1 healer for small party, and 2-4 tanks + 0-2 healers for full party.

Does this happen on NA PF as well?

And people keep falsely proclaiming that "JP loves modern healers!", well why are they having this problem then?
