#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

Go into anything harder than a dungeon and rely solely on the Warrior for healing, then come back here and tell me if you still believe what you just said.

I know you said warrior, but it's not specific to warrior that this is about.

Well then why not give WAR their own leylines and everything else in the game? Just because you like to tab out and watch Netflix does not mean classes should be wantonly homogenized.

Based, please do give WAR everything, Squeenix.

Responding to someone enjoying the laid-back healer life when q'd with a WAR tank:

It is so extremely odd to see people being proud over not playing the game.

Hey, when I queue for DF as SGE and get a tank and two DPS that are really damn good and we ROMP over the same dungeon that I've had so many noobs and goobs screw up in the past, I enjoy the heck out it! Sure, I'm doing more Dyskrasias than GCD heals, but who care as as long as it's fun?

HOWEVER, then there's those times when the tank DCs, and the group decides to go on without them until they reconnect.
That's slower, and not a romp at all. I often have to just plain heal while the DPS do their thing. But I enjoy that too!

Long ago I was healing in static. It started out fun, but then it began to feel like a job. I was showing up out of obligation, not anticipation.
So I quit doing that. "Yo ho yo ho, the casual's life for me!"

And I must enjoy it: why else would I have six characters on two accounts and three worlds waiting for DT at EoC, all of them with at least SGE/WAR/DNC and geared to iL640 or better? I'll be doing DT at least six times, predominately doing the dungeons on SGE except when my spouse (who has five geared EoC characters with at least iL640 WHM/WAR/DNC) wants to WHM them.

Y'all enjoy your strike. We'll happily pick up the slack (and the comms, and the in-need bonuses) while you're gone.

What this sounds like to me is that any JP player in support of the protest would have to do it in silence or while treading very carefully. I know they are already aware of ##FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE, so it makes one wonder how many of them there are and are rooting for its success.

My friend, I don't think you should give credence to people who are willing to spout the most heinous stuff about a whole country if you want your strike keep whatever goodwill it has left.

Credence was not my intention. Only curiosity. Don't even try to paint my contributions with anything other than face value. And what are you talking about "whatever goodwill it has left"? I do not operate outside the manifesto I have provided, meaning that I only have the best intentions in mind. Not only for the game's healers, but the game over all.

[Bun_Vivant]

are you comparing people wanting healers to be more engaging to antisemitism

Clearly not.

“Did IQs just drop sharply while I was away?” Ellen Ripley, Aliens

[Edit: that said, the japanaphobia we've seen here, exclusively from the strikers, could be compared to antisemitism, but that'd get ugly fast, so let's not.]

[Edit 2: that said, I've spent several weeks touring Japan, and it's one of my favorite places -- especially the parts outside Tokyo. The culture and the people are marvelous. But I'm born and raised American, far too much so to be successful living in Japan (or a lot of other countries). That not a condemnation of them or of me, it's just the way it is.]

[Edit 3: on a similar note, not all MMO players should expect to be happy "living" in Eorzia. Again, that's not a condemnation of anyone, it's just the way the universe it. Fortunately, there's lots of other choices, and it's easy to migrate.]

I’ve haven’t posted in several days due to being on vacation. What the heck is going on here?

Anyways, with DT on the way in a few weeks, I hope to see some nerfs to Tank sustain / mitigation, DPS included. This is just me forming my opinion after watching Zepla’s video, but that’s my gut feeling right now.

I don’t want tank sustain removed from the game. I’m fine with it so long as it doesn’t impede the healer role, like WAR’s bloodwhetting. SE can either tone down the healing potencies of those sustain abilities or increase the cooldown so the tanks won’t have access to them so soon after use.

Again, these are just nerfs to the job. Nerfs are not that big of a deal. You can adapt / play around nerfs.

Anticipating some next posts :

"just stop playing (healers)"
"do not touch my precious immortal warrior"
"Unsub if you're not happy."

Posts openly inflammatory thing on a public forum. Gets mad when someone responds to it. Can't make this stuff up.

People defended her only for her to spew "just unsub" argument again smh

[TheDustyOne]

huh funny you say that because I was unsubbed for a time (not on purpose- that is how long my laptop was out of commission. My laptop has since then been working very nicely.) and could not post on the forums. So you may want to review what you say before spreading misinformation.

Funny thing was, I was away for a couple of weeks recently and couldn't log in. When I came back it took ages for the forums to realise I had logged into the game. So despite being subbed, I couldn't use the forum. They're "technically right" in that the forum doesn't care for sub, it cares for game activity. But because game activity requires a sub, it still means the forum requires the sub.

[Bellsong]

And yet the thread is full of supporters who've cleared Savage, some even Ultimate. The argument is about wanting healer gameplay to always be fun. Not only fun when grinding the hardest content in the game.

But taking that into account makes arguing in bad faith way harder, they can't do that!
