And then it never shows up in the dungeons or trials for some reason.

Something something too hard for casual healers something something tanks now have a role action for raid wide esuna

[Allegor]

I miss the old ARR and HW type fights where random people getting debuffs was the mechanic, rather than an icon of shame for failing one.

They seem to be moving in the direction of esuna Is a way to give healers agency via offering them a choice on how to rectify a mistake by another player that gives a debuff

Ie- can I solve this by simply using oGCD’s to cover the debuffs effects or do I want to play it safe and use esuna so they aren’t at risk of dying

I don’t actually mind this approach but it has the fatal flaw of the fact that dungeons hit so little that 99 times out of 100 it’s never worth giving up a GCD for esuna unless the debuff is doom or a long slow. DOT’s can just be ignored and anything like silence of pacification drops off faster than you can use esuna anyway

I’m totally fine with esuna being the “choice oh how to fix party mistakes” but they have to actually make the debuffs damaging to the party success rate for it to feel meaningful

Esuna isn't really a valid point imo. It's a thing they 'give' healers, but it's hit or miss as to whether it'll even work on a given mechanic. Much like giving interrupts to tanks, but most abilities aren't really interruptable.

It's like handing out guns to an army, knowing full well half their opposition is immune to bullets. Calling it a utility comes with so many caveats that it's hardly worth thinking about.

They were talking about Lapis so there can only be one type of Doom in there: the Esuna-able ones in case somebody steps on bads.

The point of the strike was to get attention on the problem, so yes it very much worked. People know about the Strike outside of the Forums it left the bubble, it got coverage on youtube and even some gaming press.
Its written on the very first post that the strike doesnt aimes for Gameplay disruption

Time to get some cash healers, what do you think of this price, is that adequate or too low

What a scam, healers should do it for 5mil minimum.

The biggest issue i see with Healers is literally the fact you cant really do anything much with it if you are real for a second.

You are split between People which like the 1 or 2 DPS Rotation and People which dont like it, so what will you do? Most People which dont like 1 2 will still play Healer, while people which dont want a complex rotation or anything will probably quit, so it will end in a vacuum where even more healer are missing.

So the best way in my opinion would be not to change ALL healer but maybe the half of it, give ast/sch a more complex rotation and keep sage/whm easier

and i talked to a lot of high end healer and tbh none of them actually wanted to have a complex rotation, they are fine with 1-2 so i really dont know how you would change it to make everyone happy

As stupid as this sounds, there actually are quite a few healers that like to do min. healing required with oGCDs, then chill with 12 and maybe get funny number on certain website. Making healer changes while still retaining them is a big conundrum.
