Just stop playing healer

[TaleraRistain]

Is this thread satire? Is this a joke? Because that's exactly what the people supporting the strike are planning to do. Play something other than healer.

They're not, though. Many are talking about still healing for friends and statics. They talk about still leveling their healer. They are only striking from DF. One of their stated goals is not contributing to healer numbers but using the healer role at all is going to do exactly that. SE is going to look at how many level 100 X healers there are. The one place there may be some recognizable metric for SE to take into consideration is healer being the adventurer in need more often but even that's not a guarantee. There isn't going to be nearly the effect they think if they are willing to undermine their actions that way.

I will scholar if I want to.

The healers that are complaining aren't good enough to play DPS jobs.

I love how bad FFXIV players are, that they dont realise, it's possible to do every single dungeon in any party composition you want.
You want to clear with no Healer? Yes you can!
You want to clear without Tank? Yes you can!
You want to clear with only DPS? Yes you can also do it!
You want to clear with no DPS? Guess what!

Whoever agrees with this silly strike, it's better if they simply quit, if they think healers are not necessary because 1 video showing something thats in game for ages right now. The problem are not healers, but literally no difficulty in regular dungeons.

A dog can play Summoner.

You can clear the hardest content without a healer, theres a problem.
Healers are becoming redundant, an entire role is losing its purpose, the people in the strike are quitting healing to play the 2 better roles they aren't quitting the game they are quitting the bad role.
The real reason you don't agree with the strike because you don't want to play healer but don't want long queue times as a DPS. Because people are just voicing their annoyance with a poorly designed role.

I mean we already seen healer shortages in pf for some tier in EW... plenty healers did stop playing healer. Myself included.

All the people saying they will still level and do occasional roulette on healer won't all be likely to fill up the pf
Once they have levelled the job many won't touch healer again because the jobs are simply too boring in comparison to others.

They just barely made it.

They just barely made it.

But they still made it, which is a problem especially since this was the same patch it released. Old ultimates from 7 years ago can't be cleared healerless yet the latest one was.
Make all the excuses you want but the fact its possible shows that the healer role can be managed by DPS and Tanks, the healer can't even do what its made for at the top level.

Please, try to replicate this achievement. Or find anyone on PF who can replicate this achievement.

Enjoy, but that requires endless forum spam and drama because....?

You are engaging with the discourse you can avoid it if you want. The world doesn't revolve around you let people debate on a topic.

You're not even vaguely that important. Sorry, Striker44, you're right. It is the diva mentality.

Meh not even part of the strike ive been a dps main since ShB, I just support the strike because I want everyone who plays the game to have fun.
Also its interesting to see the forums actually get a bunch of people talking, you often see the same few people.

I'd like to point out that RDM uses both Black Magic and White Magic. Also Summoner has healing in their kit. I doubt they would've made it without at least RDM.
