#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Azurarok]

In general FFXIV older heal kit lacked oGCDs because the system was designed around Healers balancing damage dealing and healing as seperate gameplay [...] The old healer kit was well designed in that way, there were some odd choices, cleric stance will always be controversal but overall the pre-50 healing kit made sense in the context of healers main system of them all being damage dealing casters who had to balance heals.

I get that was the historical context. I'm just saying they should've added things to keep stuff like Cure a core part of healing instead of pushing them aside.

Also Cure~Curaga's a staple to the series and it feels wrong that they're rarely used now.

WHM system with Lilys is a good compromise for GCD heals in the current game design. Bringing up WoW like I usually do, heals in that game are rarely sacrificeless too but this is normally because healers in wow have assize like DPS options, heals usually used as general regen for constant damage that also act as ways to deal damage

And yes I like how lilies give free GCD heals, but couldn't they have done stuff like making all GCD healing feed the blood lily? Make the whole kit is usable without loss instead of just 2 buttons. Add more stacks and reduce charge time on Thin Air and have it reduce cast times for mobility and MP saving instead.

SGE really should be the type that does attack + heal simultaneously since Kardia and Pneuma already are a step in that direction and it'd differentiate itself from WHM better. Tag an enemy with some kind of reverse Kardion that damages them when you GCD heal.

Damage from those two jobs only come from themselves so I think there should be more for them for dps-lossless healing

After playing healers through multiple MMO’s, THIS is where I’m at with ffxiv healers. Thanks SQE

Yup, same. Love healing in other games.

14 is trapped in the problem of the fact that it’s an MMO made for people who don’t like MMO’s so it can’t fall back on a lot of the old MMO design decisions that retain sub numbers

For example in RuneScape they don’t need to drip feed you gear because they can introduce a new skill that gives 40k experience per hour and level 99 is 13 million experience so they’ve just roped you in for another 6 months (seriously I swear I was the only player who ever liked divination as a skill)

In 14 people don’t like grinding so to hold subs over the months they have to artificially gate you from otherwise easy to obtain items because otherwise it reveals how hollow the endgame is

Well considering if they hold onto there plans with the "no more leveling" and there supposed focus on class design next expansion they will have to break the current systems and tbh i am all for it.
With Shadowbringer they made massive changes in Class design so its not impossible they do it again.

something something elitists

something something tiny portion of no-lifers

something something majority of playerbase don't do that

Not even 2 weeks lmao. No one has bis gear, healers instantly replaced with tanks.
The cycle continues lmao.

[Lorika]

What excuses?

In fact, we should thank them... They just post proof that OP Tanks, DPS sustain and bad Healer design are a real problem because : they shouldn't be able to clear them without a Healer

It's just validating what Healer main are saying.
