#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Bright-Flower]

The healing in high-end content is an "Excel Sheet gaming". You just spread your oGCDs so they cover every damage instance. And for early runs, like week 1-2, you throw a GCD shield before every AoE, just to be safe. It is kinda engaging during prog, but the closer you get to the end of the fight, the more boring it becomes, as CDs line up so you already know what tools you will be using in advance. So basically when your Excel sheet is done, all you have to do is to press 1-1-1-1-1 for 90% of the fight.

Raids are designed in such a way now that the points where people fumble the most are usually mechs that either body checks themselves or there is a body check right after, so there is nothing your healing ability can save. Even if you throw the most quickest Raise on the Wild West, the chances that the person will rise in time for the check are really small.

The only content where healers' excessive healing can fix something is casual content. Mechanics rarely work in the "either you all do it or you all will die" way there, the worst you can get is a vuln up stack. So your GCD healing can actually carry people who fumble there. But as was told, if the role is only fun when your teammates are bad at the game - something is wrong with the role.

Thanks for the insight.

Thanks for the insight.

Some people have already said things, so I'll keep it brief. Most recent log show are sage with 13 gcds in P12S phase 2. (This is also a very um-optimized amount) Their dosis cast were 135 along with 16 Eu Dosis, 13 phlegmas, 13 toxicons and 3 pneuma. So... the amount of dps gcds exceeded healing gcds by more than 10x

Please stop using the nebulous "they" when you're talking about yourself. You're great at concern trolling though I'll give you that. Sure love to hide behind third person pronouns for your own spiteful opinions.

Hi Titanmen.

Some people have already said things, so I'll keep it brief. Most recent log show are sage with 13 gcds in P12S phase 2. (This is also a very um-optimized amount) Their dosis cast were 135 along with 16 Eu Dosis, 13 phlegmas, 13 toxicons and 3 pneuma. So... the amount of dps gcds exceeded healing gcds by more than 10x

Except as Sage some of those damage GCDs might as well represent healing GCDs because of Kardion. Dealing damage is also healing whomever has Kardion.

Job leveling stats is maybe the worst thing you could possibly reference.

Not only is one of those shared with one of the most popular DPS jobs. I have multiple jobs at or near max level that I don't actually play any more. I only started playing the video game late into Endwalker.

I have a level 90 Reaper that was just for the Endwalker MSQ, I have not played it since but I still posses a level 90 Reaper. I also have a level 90 DRK that's used exclusively in Hunt Trains because the state of tanks rn frustrates me and an 80~ WHM I couldn't even finish leveling but realistically I could run through Frontlines/Tribes/Khloe and get done.

I'm not trying to say that every one of those players would absolutely switch to healer if needed.

But that's a very large pool of potential healers to fill in if other healers decide it's time to stop healing.
