#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

Noone wants to heal, it is braindead easy.

Honestly, at least for casual players (high level I can't speak for as outside of EXs we don't have a lot to work with yet), the Arcadion raids are certainly a step in the right direction.

Could still do with more than one core DPS button, especially as people learn the fight, but at least shit hurts without vuln stacks.

Did notice the other day that I had to wait a little over 5 minutes as a tank for an Expert roulette.

I mean, let's be real. There will always be random anomalies like that. Trust me, it has nothing to do with the "strike." I'm still finding my tank queues are usually instant the majority of the time, which is pretty normal.

Adding another anecdote to the pile:

I get a tank queue to pop within 10s about 20% of the time that tank is AiN. I've gotten healer to pop instantly every time I've tried it for Expert Roulette even when Tank is AiN. Essentially, if I want the 7k gil, I go tank and wait. If I want a true instant queue, I go healer.

At least for now mistakes are frequent enough to be somewhat entertained -- mediocre tanks or especially dodging-impaired DPS being common enough as the expansion and its expert dungeons are relatively new.

I guess I'm a casual because I don't play savage. I mostly play roulettes and try out new jobs, but I still want normal content to be more engaging, especially for healer.
I dunno, I consider myself midcore. I would be interested in savage if it wasn't just studying to take a test. You study the guides, then execute the aoes perfectly or fail.

Ironically healer is at its most engaging when you're blind progging a fight with a full 8-man who are doing the same. By reading the guides and mitigation plans you are robbing yourself of the peak healer experience this game has to offer.

But yeah, unengaging role otherwise.

This is what everything should be engaging in, most people do normal content. Normal content like leveling and such should require healing for healers.

unfortunately, our resident accessibility "expert" who always speaks for the "majority" would be against this. it would cause stress and gatekeeping if his dead grandmother couldnt body roll her corpse to level cap. doesnt help that CBU3 doesnt teach any skills past the Novice experience which ends at level 15 if I recall correctly and doesnt even teach about job stones.

they need to seriously learn that there is a difference between accessibility for disabled people.. and the dead. the dead dont pay for a sub and, if they arent playing now... they wont in the future either.

I been playing healer on WoW and other games as a one armed player, I can keep people alive just fine healing, I heal 90% of the time and dps the other 10%, and that is because damage is consistent and constant from mobs. No barrier there. So what is that child's excuse.
