#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

I said probably 500 pages ago (lol) that I think the primary win was how much attention this got - not only on these forums but it resulted in discussions from top YouTubers, reddit, and Twitter.

I never though the actual strike part was going to be noticeable. Healers were already the least played role before the strike and then they released two new DPS at once that many would want to test out.

But I think this was still a "win" overall. The Devs certainly would be aware of this topic given all the attention.

I would have to agree. I mean they could say that they are not aware of any issues with healers... but I would find that exceedingly hard to believe. I am sure they would have had markting people looking for social media mentions of FFXIV prior to and during launch, so they cant have missed this.

In terms of fourm feedback, this has probably been the most the developers have ever gotten.

Now if they actually care is a different story...

How many times now the few numbers of same forummonger would come and go, misinterpreting the intent of the strike over and over? I think they're silently supporting the strike!

"Show me the result and I can show you the intent. Or chronic incompetence."

I run healer because of this. Everything about the OP post is a lie.

Care to elaborate or are you just going to say it’s a lie with no justification

If you bothered to read. you would have noticed the word "everything."
But if you want me to break it down, I can.
-The choice/direction to give such abilities to roles outside of healer encroaches on the role.
This one is strange. This is like saying Scholar shouldn't have damage mitigation because it encroaches on Tank roles. Or White Mage shouldn't have any DPS capabilities. It's not and has never been that type of game.
-Every job in FFXIV has a 'filler GCD' skill that they press when there are no other requirements. No role in the game pushes this skill more than healer. Not by a long shot. Our offensive capability should still feel dynamic and rewarding. Yes, we are healers, but we are also casters.
Literally contradicts the first point.
-Barrier/Pure healer split is largely redundant. All healers essentially play the same with the exception of few and far between niche abilities.
Contextual. All Tanks play the same way, just like all Mag and Phys DPS play the same way.
-These are not only abundant, but exceptionally powerful. This in addition to self-sustain on other roles reduces the dynamic of healing comrades.
An outright lie. A reduction from what? Zero?
-Healers should feel like they have a place in all forms of content. It is understandable that difficulty can't be so great as to bar progression of story-based content. However, innovative means should still be employed to make greater/full use of abilities.
Player error.
