#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Silver-Strider]

the strike is so wishy washy. "we're striking but not for the first 2 weeks of the expansion"
"we're striking but only for DF and PF so anyone with a static can still heal"

I can't help but point out how moronic the healer strike is.

It's literally on the front page. Don't do group content and the start date of the strike. What's been wishy washy about it?

Came in to check on the joke thread. I heard about this meme from a youtuber, I'm glad to see the meme here in person.

Why would you bother coming here and posting when you could have just looked in a mirror?

Hey, now, they're supporting the strike in their own way! How we gonna get to 9,000 without ignorant players coming in to drop their bad take?

Please. You can't expect most WAR mains to realize they are looking at themselves in a mirror, it's just another clown to them.

I don't even know if it even happened to begin with.

Even if all 405 people who liked this thread Striked, and that number didn't include non-Healer supporters of the thread, and other people who decided not to strike....it's just too small of a number for this to make a dent in a population of millions.

I think the Healer problems already had people leave the role, with Tanks once being the least played class and that now being healers.

For fourm standards, 400 is huge. It also continues to be the fastest growing thread.

Content creators would never outright support the strike, but some agreed with our points.

However small we are, we are much more vocal about what we want, and a vocal minority tends to have their way over a silent majority.


Finally, SE is never going to acknowledge this thread. Any healer change they make will be due to whatever reason they can come up with.

I am well aware that nothing will probably happen, but there is a chance something will, and I'm alright with one last "hurrah" before throwing in the towel and moving on.

I agree 400 is big for this forum - I said the exact same thing hundreds of pages ago.

As far as being vocal = getting what you want - I disagree. People have been vocal about healers for years. Not at this level, but there has been many threads.

The devs seem to do what they want to be honest. Look at how quickly Viper was changed with pretty much no threads or outcry to remove Noxious Gnash.

There is the need to be a walling content, it is not okay for people to not be able to heal (or not be able to tank) a W2W pull at level 100, and if they refuse to improve, they can spend 40 minutes in a dungeon, at this point it's a choice.

The game doesn't mandate job stones or job quests, and the offender would have to try really hard to get a valid report against this. One of the key points for Endwalker was getting FF solo players that are afraid of multiplayer games (wherever such playerbase exists). This resulted in solo trust support for all of MSQ and even simplification of some dungeons due to trust limitations.

You also can't comment on players' performance directly or reference their parse, logs. On the other hand, if something goes wrong people tend to be chill instead of salty. Healers will get the short end of the stick when the content has to function for a very wide player type and skill range.

Yesterday I had Tender Valley where the last boss didn't finish the blob stack mechanic. The run was fast with high DPS and very little healing. Today I had Worqor where one of the DPS (that is leveling up all jobs to 100) why I'm casting Cure 2... next to people with 4 vuln stacks across them. I got a lot of lilies, a lot of Cure 2, and multiple rezes, but the dungeon run was decent. If this were WoW M+ it would take 40-50 min assuming the group would not disband due to trash-someone and going personal really quickly (and then people would use M+ score to make vetted groups of only "good" players excluding everyone else).

They are probably "happy" that mistakes in DT dungeons do require much more healing. And they probably are excited about their "stressful" mechanics that one-shot if someone doesn't know what the mechanic is/does But that's mostly HEALERS and DPS while Tanks just get a vuln stack or two and do not notice... usually. And the jobs will be more streamlined/homogenized because that is what they can balance. HW's job identity ended up badly for them.

This protest is for direct and barrier healers, while mitigation healers are fine (aside DRK)
