#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Supersnow845]

Please try not to get mad and read through my entire post.

No, it was a joke, and slight sarcasm. I guess the people in this thread aren't smart enough to understand it, as I can see from subsequent posts. Maybe the people here really need a /s after to get it. Merely trying to dispel the ignorant anger. Anyway, I gave it a few days to check back here to see what you guys were talking about, because me and everyone in the game I've played with so far (randos) have jokingly made fun of this "strike" because of how important & quite frankly how busy healers are in dungeons and DT content. Any mad striker reading this, have you actually tried healing this expansion? I have never had this much fun playing as a healer in this game before DT, and that sentiment carried through to the end of the MSQ. (Despite lackluster story, that's another topic). I suggest you play sage, at the very least. I keep seeing posts saying that they have not done so, playing other games, etc. So you stay mad, without actually trying it. Like my original opinion on this "strike", you've created a problem before actually seeing that there is a problem. Even if there is, you've already cried wolf, and seeing how healing is for myself, this "strike" looks like it's got egg all over its face. I'm not saying this to be rude, it's just comical and childish how a lot of these replies read. Also, I'm not directly pointing this at the quoted comment and the person specifically, but generally to this entire post. So I end with this, have you actually tried to heal this expansion? Because it sure is nothing like EW.

I simply think you don’t actually understand how gear works in this game and why it contributes to the problem

This same thing happened in dead ends. Everyone was like “oh my god guys healers are fixed this is so good” when everyone was running around in AF gear for EW, then surprise surprise crafted gear came along and completely neutered the expert dungeons and the rest of EW is history, haedalyn was also praised as the “cure” to healers and damn she was fun week 1, but they just never repeat that

You can already see this happening with the level 91 dungeon, the most dangerous attack (the tornado that sends out star AOE’s) is skipped half the time now and even when it isn’t if you are in synced down AF gear you can survive 3 hits with it on a healer now

2 weeks per expansion of “everyone has no idea what they are doing and is in crap gear” does not make an expansion, if they continue to sync level 100 content as tightly as it is now because of the garbage gear you may have a point but experience shows they won’t

Also on the SGE point SGE is the most boring of the 4 healers so no idea what point you are making there

Friends in VC;

"Healer's strike is dumb, why did they choose THIS expansion to strike?"
"What are they even going on about? Seriously they are nothing but a bunch of casuals complaining"
"Well, a few of them do harder content, but I swear this is people just complaining and not knowing why"

Me;

"So, I know that some people are joining because the 1,1,1,1,2,1,1,1 spam is boring and puts people to sleep. They are just wanting it to be interesting"

Them:

"Y'know what? That's kinda fair. I don't play healer's because of the spam"


It was just funny. Current content does look to be really fun and I actually been looking at it with starry eyes kinda wanting to heal for it. . .but then I just remember the spam and most of my drive goes away.

I don’t recall whether or not I was specifically responding to you or someone else, or whether it was against you or as a tangent spun from you because it’s been a while. Regardless of whether you meant whatever it is you said or were sarcastic, this is a behavior I’ve seen a lot of since this whole strike started. Literally, all it was was a thread started out of frustration in seeing the third expansion where healers receive ZERO changes meant to address any of the long-standing feedback that players like myself have given. So many people outside of this circle have spun their own narrative on what ex healers are doing and created boogeymen out of nothing and are dehumanizing us, dismissing us, laughing and making fun of us as a result. So I stand by what I say that this behavior is disgusting whether that applies to you or not.

As Snow said, healing requirements have not changed. We’ve been through this song and dance before, you’re just falling for the same new expansion smell syndrome. We have weaker gear, and a lot of weaker players. It will change real quick. But if you’re enjoying yourself, that’s great. Enjoy the game. I’m not saying you can’t.

But I have no job to play because my play style is relegated to PVP only after being deleted from PVE content, so I’m simply waiting for it to return to PVE before I return to FFXIV. I will continue to give feedback until my subscription date runs out because I want to play Dawntrail. I want to enjoy this game and be a part of the community. All I want is to stop being excluded from the game for my preferences for fun, dynamic offensive gameplay on a healer.

FF14 is the first MMORPG that I haven't mained a healer in, I started as a healer and dropped it because there just wasn't any healing to be had. Switched to a Tank main and haven't gone back to healing outside of when my wife wants to go tank.

Oh I used to be SCH main for a time, and ended up rolling onto Black Mage. In a lot of ways, BLM pushes the fight knowledge and situational awareness in a way that I would have expected healers to be asked to do.

It's just a shame because healers stop being fun once you "figure them out".

BLM is my main DPS class, I love it.

I'm not reading through 640 pages, but as someone who had issues with healing being too easy in Endwalker, I really like the dungeons and trials so far in Dawntrail. They actually made them fun to heal.

Trials, yes. Dungeons are still a snoozefest.

Expert dungeons are a little better.
But I expect after the raids come out and crafted/normal raid gear comes out the slightly interesting healing will become typical dungeon healing (the tank does the healing for you.)

[HealerGuy]

Do you hate the petty healers on healing strike?
Do you think the healers that come in only to raise and never heal are lame lame-O's?
Are you a DPS who waits 30 minutes to queue up only to have a healer screw you over and think that's pretty weak?
Do you need a healer for quick queues?
400K per run and I'll come heal for you!!

Why pick me? Because I'll play the game like an adult and do my job (healing)!!

You ought to increase the price this early on with a double DPS expansion. You can get away with it right now.
