#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Aravell]

Content creators at the time pointed out exactly why it was happening - most PFs were sitting the min ilvl to join the party too high. Healer mains already had their statics they were clearing with. DPS/tank mains who would have been happy to join as healer couldn't because they didn't have ilvl for their healer gear.

I haven't been paying attention to the raid PFs in Dawntrail so far. Could that same problem be happening all over again?

Not trying to dismiss the likely outcome as you pointed out, just wondering if a known issue from the past has been taken into consideration.

It's week 2 right now, all the PFs are still set for minimum ilvl. Anyone who wants to play a healer right now can easily buy a crafted healing set and jump right into PF.

But from what is being observed, most players would rather wait in PF than take on the role themselves.

I'd rather just go 4 tanks than use the crafted healer gear. All that piety kills me to look at.

The armors don't have that much piety with only the shoes having it, but the accessories are pretty cancerous...

Honestly speaking, I'm actually thankful for the piety because it allowed me to drag the entire party all the way to enrage after the boss got 4 stacks in M2S.

Also dragging the party all the way to Sunrise Sabbath in M4S after 3 people died on Midnight Sabbath (including my cohealer) with no res caster.

All that piety would suck in the previous tier with all those body checks though.

That's still 6 slots too many lol

I don't think you can completely escape piety... But I suppose you could get the EX2 accessories, which don't seem to have Piety... But I would say it's too much work to get a gearset that's almost on par with every other role.

The only unavoidable piety is on boots where both savage and augmented tome options contains piety that it's a loss damage wise vs NR boots lmfao.

Crafters are really dumb they should be selling those gloves on healers for way more. They're bis rn sell em for like 2 mil

I don't understand why SE doesn't just make Tenacity and Piety give damage contribution at an equal rate to Determination, I can only assume it's because 'if we make the healer stat grant more damage, some healers will feel like they have to do damage' or whatever

As for me, I'm going to be taking the extra Piety from the raid boots. Not because I want the Piety per se, but I'm not a fan of throwing away 20 item levels (and 3 overmeld slots) just to dodge a substat that doesn't grant damage. Because losing those 20 Ilvls means losing all that mainstat too, so the damage gained is minimal. Plus I don't do log runs. I did my time with the 'crafted accessories are BIS' BS back in Stormblood when I was a Tank main, don't make me do it again
