#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[PietyAnxiety]

I have all but given up hope that healers will get to remain healers in the future, 8.0 and beyond. I expect that we will become another form of magical ranged damage and all of the jobs will get some form of self healing, functionally removing healers.

If healers turn out to be a bit more combat oriented with healing abilities embedded to their kits, that could be really cool. Heck, i’d go as far as to say Sage should be a real dps healer with a fully fleshed out dps kit that just pumps out healing(mitigating?) while you successfully do your rotation. White mage would most likely also be a dps healer but easier by comparison (basically how they are now with an additional dps skill or two). Somehow, I’d still see ast and sch staying within party utility because they’re pretty cemented there at this point. I can only hope they don’t have the same ridiculous 1-1-1-1-2-1-1-1.. nonsense.

However, all of this is a pipe dream. For all we know, 8.0 healers might just be 100% healing abilities where everyone’s fishing for freecure.

I wonder what happened to the spreadsheet that the detractors were making.
Do you think they just quietly stopped when they realize that there are more savage and ultimate raiders here than assumed?
or maybe they're feeling vindicated because it "proves" that we're all just a bunch of turbo hardcore raiders trying to ruin it for the little guy who can't possibly keep track of healing and more than two or three damage buttons.

I honestly believe it's best forgotten, no one has brought it up in a long time.

So much discussion and yet nary a peep from the devs, sad.

[Alice_Rivers]

That would require them to acknowledge the thread exists and that people think there's a problem. Far easier to just refuse to speak of it.

Also yay first post on page 1000!

Captains log: Stardate 42069

It has been 1000 pages since the strike was announced. Healers are still stuck with single button spam for 90% of content. No word about steady increases of incoming damage or attack variety.
