#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Aravell]

Just checked, still the less played in savage healer, with at the very least a 10k players margin from the second less played healer, and this despite AST dealing a whopping 700+ more rdps than every other healer.
If you correct with this bias + the casualisation bias you mentioned, ie being a carbon copy of WHM but strictly better, it really seems we've lost a chunk of AST players, and this population will rapidly plummet the moment AST is nerfed.

Maybe I'm mistaken tho, I haven't done a full study about it (we need to hire a data scientist !!).

Huh, the highest damage healer in the game right now, not much harder to play than WHM, slowed down to the point where you can single weave and doesn't hurt your fingers when played for long periods anymore, but still the least played healer.

Turns out that, if you alienate parts of an already small playerbase, you might see it become smaller. Who knew? Certainly not the job design team!

Edit: I do seem to recall that there were quite a few people stating "Wow, AST looks great in DT, I'm definitely playing it!", wonder how many of them are still playing AST now?
