#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Gurgeh]

I've not got my ear to the ground with XIV social media and the community, so although I've not heard the following mentioned, I expect it has been.

I'm not a 'healer' so I can't say I have much of a stake in the #HEALERSTRIKE , but I was just in a dungeon where I the healer and the the 2 DPS all single hit KO'd together to the same mechanic... ('which I love!' More of that just occasionally please!) , but.... the boss still had 60% to go, yes the tank was a WAR (didn't say hi at the beginning, sprinted right from the start even when everyone else was not sprinting with them, one of those tanks.) You know whats coming, and yes they were determined to take the boss on for themselves, and have us just watch.
Now while this is not very sociable (they'd be better suited to running Duty support, they are clearly not interested in cooperating but just want to play the game uncompromisingly their way), they are entitled to do it. If the game lets you do it, its 100% legitimate, you certainly can't complain. (Can criticize though, or just have an opinion/preference)

• The problem of course is that the tanks HP without a healer or potions should be on an inevitable countdown to zero. If that were the case the tank certainly would not have continued from 60%. They'd have reset, and we could have got to play the game too.

It really is a bit broken this and it impacts more than healers.

I fear they are not going to fix is because of how stupidly tightly the high end game is tuned. They'd now have to adjust so many other things

(Luckily this happens very rarely, and it is as much about the tank, but like I say they can certainly do what they want as long as I'm allowed to as well.)

(It's my free time, I certainly didn't logon to watch someone else's gaming stream, as spectator, a tedious one at that as its just a dungeon, there is no tension as they can easily make it to the end, and its not a sprout so I've got no 'hero' to root for ['Expert' roulette]. Thankfully no one can force me to play so its not the end of the world. So I just powered off to do something better with my own free time. Healers can do what they want too not just WARs.)
