FFXIV Healer Strike and the 'How would you fix it?' line

[WaxSw]

While many ideas sound cool on paper, I would dread them in-game. Having to juggle so many systems and resources will make the ceiling of a class extremely daunting and high. Pair that savage and ultimates and you are in for the vast majority that would not even dare to touch it. Savage and Ultimates are already daunting to jump into as a sprout, having this complex system will further push people away from those.

I do honestly think, there is nothing wrong with having a mix of complexity. It's not wrong to have a class that is easy to understand and play.

Also, what are these super complex classes for? which type of content?

That's the problem, is not a class, is an entire role that has been coddled by the devs and designed as "baby's first job".

These designs aren't really that complex and any player aspiring to handle an ultimate should be willing/capable of learning and mastering them, they really aren't more complex than tank and dps systems and they clear fine. Let alone how many of those systems mentioned are refinements of the previous existing systems of the game and we healed just fine with them.

It's fine having a low entry bar for a role, you want people to try it, but its also healthy having a high enough ceiling to make people stay, which is what the role is failing at on a spectacular way right now, and being a bit direct here you (as a general you, not particular) are not entitled to play the role perfectly optimal right from the beggining, if you want that it should be expected for you to put time and effort to learn and master the systems, like it happened on every good designed job we had.
