#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

SE now has no excuse not to nerf tank sustain and improve healer game play.

If they do neither of these things after this change, then this yet another negative to the healer experience.

Pretty much this; a big excuse people have for why healers can't have more responsibility in their damage kit or incoming damage to heal is because a healer failing means the group will die with them (let's just ignore tanks being near immortal in boss fights). Having phoenix downs on the tanks or DPS takes that excuse away.

If they still don't improve healer damage kits and increase incoming damage, the phoenix down change mostly makes healers even more redundant than they normally are. Just give RDM Vermedica and Veresuna and be done with them.

So how do ya'll feel about the new changes to Phoenix Down?

Good, now I can semi-afk while the rest of the party carries me. *shrugs*

I might be cynical but I think making healers more redundant was the intention.

Devs : We have finally found a solution to the healers problems. We are removing them.

Frankly that seems to be one of the better outcome we can ask for: just rip off the bandage and tell us they hate dealing with healer - axe them out of the game. The other option is to make the trinity matter again in drastic ways, but that's heavier in cost & we know they need to fund Yoshi-P's new spellspeed ring on his pinky finger in next LL /j.

I simply don't see a bright future of the job design within the hands of dev that bows down to specific subset of playerbase who's actually seething and pounding the floor where they stand when they realized a SGE was able to gain 80 (EIGHTY, 40p today ) potencies per minute that does not involve 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 while citing "UnAbLe To FoCuS hEaLiNg 10% Of ThE tImE" as their reason to deny that option before 7.0 even launched officially - in a modern FFXIV.

We can't be redundant when they remembered our existence enough to increase our aoe healing range! /s

Clearly most of you have never even run an EX. Go try it without a healer and see how it turns out for you.

[MaikoRaines]

Is this still even a relevant hashtag? I forgot this was a even a thing.

[Haru304]

Woah. You'll fail in like, 10%ish of content if you don't bring a healer or tank? That's wild. It's a good thing there's like, that other 90% where they're entirely irrelevant.

[Riusvell]

Can't believe you are complaining about a classic Final Fantasy change that was actually needed years and years ago, regarding the Phoenix downs. It isn't to make you guys redundant or anything, there's content where it's needed like deep dungeons.
Everyone can die during one of those, not having to find a cairn to pick up a healer and having a significant stack of an item that should've been stackable from the get-go is a massive improvement over what it was. Or picking up someone during Eureka/Bozja/Occult or open world. You don't need to switch classes any more to do that.

Why is this considered such a horrible thing? Make sense, please.
