PF is dead

[HighlanderClone]

Are people surprised? Rphys has always been the forgotten role that nobody cares about, left in dereliction for years because everybody pretends that it's fine, but meanwhile casters and melees get all the attention.

Now that DT has released we have a combination of things:
- No new rphys, while there is a new melee dps (that is extremely approachable on top of it) and a new caster dps (that is overtuned and easier than BLM). Melee dps are the role that fills the faster in PF even though there is 2 slots for it, it's the spoiled role of the game and has been since forever.
- rphys is in the ditch damage wise like at every expansion launch with more than 10% output behind melees and non rezzing casters.
- See the patchnotes for the changes to rphys, there is a single line about it. Nobody at SE cares. Nobody knows what rphys is supposed to be anymore.

Remember when rphys was actually one of the most complex roles (HW BRD and MCH anyone?)

How did we go from that to modern braindead pranged?

Let's not pretend these raids are that easy for the majority of players. I get that's a common saying lately, and it's certainly true for experienced people in statics in full penta-melded crafted gear with past Savage experience. But I can assure you, a ridiculous ton of PFs are absolute dumpster fires. I've spent more time with groups wiping to proteans in M1S than I have clearing any of the new raids.

They are far easier than previous first tiers.

They're not hard for sure. But then Aspho wasn't really either, nor was Edensgate (which even has a similar 4th boss). This is just the new big thing people clamor around because we're out of 2 grueling tiers the game has ever had since HW: Abyssos and Anabaseios (especially Anabaseios).

Party Finder doesn't even mit, meless don't use second wind or bloodbath, I can understand in a tryhard static trying to make it like this, but when tanks don't even reprisal big AoEs attack I've found out how much healers have to do on pug groups. Not that I disagree that healing should be more interesting than it actually is, but they are definetly needed.

No, what is needed is for the DPS and tanks to press mits because there's nothing the healer can do about 20% mit just flat out missing.

Like honestly it's a challenge to learn to heal in PF when people have shaky gear and don't use self sustain or mit, it's pretty fun, I must imagine how boring it is to be in a static where all your heals have been put in an excel sheet and you just press 1 and your big buttons every 2 minutes.

Static healers are often nerds and are into that

Who even uses Excel sheets in 2024? You can randomly press your CDs and win in 2024. The last time I used a spreadsheet was Stormblood when it was actually important.

Funny how healers are still saying there’s nothing to heal and yet countless wipes in arcade savage due to healers not healing LOL
