#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

All WOW healers have a more interesting DPS rotation than FF but it's only really relevant at the highest level of content as in high key levels(15 and higher) or mythic raiding.

Helping dps is appreciated but considering in WOW the damage can be extremely high...Healers heal first and foremost and damage when you can or want. Near all content in WOW isn't tuned for healer damage addition except the last few bosses in a mythic raid where that extra 1-2 percent can be bought by healer dps.

Or a high enough level key where you build your talent trees with damage in mind but without sacrificing too much of your defensive, ST and AOE healing.

I mean I don’t think anyone in the strike or this thread in general would oppose WOW’s healing to damage distribution (the bigger problem being it just doesn’t really work with 14’s slow methodical combat)

Everyone want to heal more but people also acknowledge there is always downtime so something better than broil spam is a good thing

Ikr wow has more healing requirements then XIV but also has more damage options for healers and a much healthier mix of GCD and oGCD heals. Then when tanks started self-healing to the level that healers weren't necessary wow devs said this was a problem and nerfed.
God it's so hard to believe that back in ARR-SB people were telling wow to take inspiration from the XIV healer design.

Curious how many of you have tried healing M3S and M4S and if your opinion about the state of the healers has changed?

2 fights at level 100 vs every bit of content between level 1-100.

No, my opinion has not changed.

As harder hitting enemies dont change general lackluster class design, no. ^^*

FFXIV copied a lot from Wow (they admitted so)- Why not copy the healing? Or copy from EQ or EQ 2?

Plenty of other games have more fun healing.... no excuse for the lack of diversity in healing in this game.

I prefer to have fun after the first couple of weeks of doing savage so I don't play healer but what I've seen so far the cycle is unchanged.
Healers have a job during prog and low gear, people get better gear, bosses hit less as hard DPS/tank get into a rhythm of mitigating better, healers heal less, healers have to spam glare.
Nothings really changed.

To be fair they were inspired and played it itensivly for ARR.
After that i somehow doubt they went back to that.

what are you talking about neither m3s or m4s is healing intensive ...

You are correct, after w1 I don't wanna play healer anymore.


Also ast being so strong really does not make me want to play healer anymore.
Hey ast you died 3 times but you pressed divination during the correct gcd on burst window here have more damage then me.
Oh I have the 735 weapon and you still have 710, well that doesn't really matter does it.
