#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

Rather than 'channel' abilities, I think the more accurate comparison is how WOW's Evoker handles 'Empower' abilities. Press to start the cast, then press again to fire the spell at whatever 'empower' level you've charged up to.

Something I want to point out here is that Empower abilities often have reasons to finish the cast at a lower empower level. Like Dream Breath there, if you fire it off immediately it has a stronger Heal Over Time effect, but if you channel, the HOT effect is weaker but the upfront healing is more.

With the live letter coming up, I wonder how possible it could be to try to fill the chat during the presentation with healer strike messages as much as possible...

I think it's less what we can fill the chat with and what JP players will fill the chat with.

Don't, just don't please.
it will deserve us more than anything.

Mention it, yeah, but don't flood.

What are they gonna do, ignore healers even harder?

I considered mentioning 'DreamBreath/FireBreath always do 100% of their damage/healing, with more being shifted out of the DOT/HOT and added to the 'instant' part at higher empowerment levels', and suggesting the same for BLM's Flare. Always does, say, 240, but it's like, level 1 is 180 plus 3 ticks of 20, level 2 is 200 plus 2 ticks of 20, level 3 is 240 plus 1 tick of 20, and level 4 is 240 all instantly.

But then I thought 'oh wait, SE can't solve the debuff cap issue (only work around it by removing debuffs)' and decided to delete the paragraph

Though an idea does strike now. For Flare, it could deal 240p as it does now to the primary target (and 30% less to secondary targets) at LV1, but empowering it further reduces the penalty to 20% at LV2, 10% at LV3, and no penalty (regardless of targets hit) at LV4. Also, if FlareStar were given this system, the visual effect of the ball growing in size with each level of empowerment would make it look/feel very cool

You're gonna have to yell louder that the 'Give compensation for DDoS' crowd and the 'DT story sucks' crowd.

You know how this type of behavior goes IRL?
They show you the way out in a rought way and then they apologize for the annoyance and ask people to ignore the nonsense "thoses peoples" were spouting.

Yoshi p made the comment if you like healing play ultimate. That’s the most rough way of kicking the healer players out. There is no way but up at this point in time. The Role is bland and boring and its kinda insane that people defend this design, like I had a tank single pack pulling in a dungeon even after asking him too pls pull more and I actually was just being afk and getting my water and he was 50 % as drk. I was actually falling asleep how bad it was.

You know what that person is right

We should treat the healer role with the same disdain as the developers do

Then when the entire game comes crashing down because they enforce healers in everything but never make them good to play so nobody plays them then the uncaring DPS mains and single brain cell WAR mains can finally realise that you can make healers redundant but you don’t get your roulette bonus unless a healer pops your queue
