    I agree that healers are plagued with issues as of late, but the one real problem I have with this idea is if you do this, you're going to be striking for the entire expansion. It's incredibly unlikely that they're going to make any major changes to healers mid-expac.

    The strike is basically just 'we dont want to play healer anymore, we'll play jobs that are more fun' so for how long this goes isnt really a problem.

    I have asked these questions. I have made these observations. I have made these considerations. And I have performed, and killed the boss, many times. On every tank for doing what you are talking about, because that's my main role. And even then, even then, I would still give it up, because I know people get bored or angry if I do, and I honestly shouldn't be able to solo something designed for 4 people with THIS much ease. It's not a power fantasy for me anymore to kill a boss that I know is so undertuned that it can't kill me unless I effectively gave it the gun to do so through self inflicted vulns. Even something like DRK with Tycoon, something that I CANNOT solo from 100% to 0 on my own, only about 30% or so, because it would take like ten minutes and I run out of CDs, if I had some DPS flailing about, we absolutely could've downed it with no healers. It's cool to watch for some people, and I love doing it when it happens because I have to think for moment in normal content. A "time to lock in", if you will. But it's a flaw in the design. It shouldn't be this...expected. It's no longer an outlier. It's a feeling of "Everyone's dead? Whatever, didn't need them." That's the last thing I want to feel in an MMO. There is a wide abyss between "Nothing matters, take all the vulns you want who cares" and "If you miss this feint/are out of position, we are all going to die instantly." We continue to fall on the wide sides every time.

    We can't get it right in either direction.
    This is actually a good point. We have sort of the same thing in WoW. For example, DK (deathknight) is known as one of the tanks that can heal themselves really well. Alot of times, even on the harder content, you'll have a situation where the healer and/or the dps will die and the DK will just solo the boss. Now this is all well and good for the DK, but I can say as a healer and/or dps it is not fun sitting there for 5 minutes watching a DK fight by himself while you just...lay there on the floor lol.

    They did drop the Paladin rework mid-expac but if they don't want to that's fine, I'll just keep playing DPS

    I started ARR as WHM and raided coils when it was current and loved it. But I've been effectively doing this "strike" since Stormblood when they tried that gauge fiasco on WHM and I dropped it. I'm sure many others have a similar tale. It's just that people are now talking about it.

    You're talking about the Pacification debuff. As a healer I enjoyed that mechanic. I thought it was a fun test of skill to see if I could remove it before it even ticked.

    Edit : Oh I found it, was in HW and after Berserk runs out you'd get Pacification debuff. " Pacification is a detrimental status effect that prevents weaponskills and auto-attacks from being used for the duration of its effect. It has no effect on other actions such as spells (Silence) and abilities (Amnesia). "

    fairly certain that was from ARR, Berserk would apply a pacifiy to the WAR when its effect wore off, removed in SB.

Expert roulettes are child's play 95% of the time.

    And if you actively watch healer casts it's truly comical.
    I've had similar experiences as well. A bad healer at level 50 vs level 90 content is night and day in terms of clearing most casual content that it's almost comical that people consider it an issue at all. I'm not even a skilled tank but I've carried my fair share of groups on my PLD after a healer died to a boss that it's a non-factor to consider, even if the entire party is bad.

    How will he get on the media tour list next time if he doesn't parrot the same vein of PR speak like YoshiP?

    Its why the idea of only feedback making it to devs being from content creators is a slippery slope , you never know when they'll turn shill just to keep staying on that list. Its just business.

    MrHappy was still the last bastion of XIV shilling even back when Zepla was being very unhappy about Endwalker so not surprising.
