#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[OliviaLugria]

I understand your point but there has to be some middle ground between "Healer dying automatically meant the whole group had to wipe" and "It doesn't really matter if the Healer is alive"

Ya... great... do that.

[Silver-Strider]

I'd say nah. The simplest reason no-healer runs aren't more widespread is that they're much more difficult to pull off, and even when they are, it's not as efficient. Only a very small % of the playerbase is capable of doing those kinds of runs.

Difficult, yes.
Efficient, not so much. It's the same concept of learning the fight with RDM/SMN for Rez utility during prog and switching to a BLM for the extra DPS once it's on farm. If you can get away with dropping one or both healers to clear content, there's no reason not to other than having that extra safety net but that's not a matter of efficiency, that's a matter for peace of mind more than anything.

Like I said earlier. Where are the Tanks complaining about not really needing to use their mitigation, or tank swaps against normal mode bosses?

Here !
And I add that I also complain about not having to decide where the boss stands on the battlefield anymore.

I'm sure tanks would absolutely lose their minds if they ended up nerfed for the sake of achieving balance while maintaining generally the current level of difficulty.

Oh god no ! At least not me !
Since the very moment I reached level 82 as a PLD at the beginning of Endwalker, I fell like playing with a cheat code !
That's not fun at all.

Not only that, the one button design just makes the bad healers stand out even more. Instead of "this healer heals/glares too much" it's "we're dying to lack of heals and still meeting enrage on a clean run".

It doesn't matter if content is perfectly tuned for the average party. If the variance is this large for even just one role, the enrage will be too lax/too tight (hint: arcadion and abyssos)

It's the most awful form of skill expression. The fail state punishes bad players by them hitting enrage, the win state punishes good players by sheer boredom.

It's very normal for me to be bored in leveling roulette

Oh I have a great idea then. The game should teach people how to play correctly and then filter the people who can't do a tutorial.

That will minimize an incredible amount of points of failure. :^)

It does. They get filtered into the healer role.

[Alice_Rivers]

Absolutely. But to hear people here tell it that'd be far too hard and take a long time.

For dps and tanks to heal in solo duties, give them the full heal button that is used in the monster hunter event and put a cool down on it.

That will address the self healing needs for solo instances but it does bring up the topic of potions in general.

Why don’t we bring back strong healing and mana potions that can be used out of combat without CDs for overworld (unavailable for use in instances) healing?

It would help everybody, especially the crafter and gatherers.

Since some point in HW, every solo duty has given the player a super blessing of light buff that just grants a constant Regen that gets stronger the lower % of your max health you have. No specific job needs a potion action for these duties.

NPC roleplay quests don't get this buff because they have heavily stripped down toolkits that usually include a means to restore HP.
