Phoenix Down in 4-Player Content is a Great Idea

[Veritas-Ancora]

Look I love to complain about this game's lack of direction as much as the rest of you, but I have to give credit where credit is due.

Phoenix Down in regular casual content is very worthwhile. It's a pain when you're at a midboss in an Expert roulette and suddenly the healer goes splat. The tank might be able to survive the content on their own, but reviving the healer brings everybody back on their feet and substantially reduces the amount of time in the roulette.

I'm not a SMN/RDM main and I'll be happy to bring the healer back to life it means avoiding 25 minutes of the tank solo'ing the boss and wasting people's time.

i am sure people would have used it in the research facility xx) you know middle Joel that's like surprise people!!

I'm not a fan as the only time i enjoyed tanking was when healer was downed and i got to keep other dps alive (not 25 minute solo mind you)
It's a change to cater to making dungeons more easy despite that they already are super easy lol.

Honestly it's just another excuse to not actually fix healers and Tanks, Tanks shouldn't be able to really survive without a healer in the first place, now that you can have Tanks rez even doing things for the first time you likely would want to bring 1T 3dps now because you can rez (or heck 2tanks if your worried about survivability)

Yeah, this is a massive W

I just can't believe it something that took them over a year to get around to fixing.

It's okay I guess for an occasional moment, not sure how many people are carrying a Phoenix Feather and actively aware how to use it anyway.
I'm fairly certain we'll witness someone going off on their healer because they died by throwing their invuln timer away 0.0001s after being resurrected into a raid-wide or something, haha.

Ok but the most miserable part of the game is when this happens and I have to watch yall play the game + steal my job as healer. You're a tank, you're not supposed to be keeping up your dps, *that is my job.*

[Gokki]

Yeah, it's great, especially below the red mage raise level


And this isn't to be used when there's a healer, it's for when healer is down! Or to raise people in the overworld.

[FuturePastNow]

I've only used Phoenix Downs a couple times over the years but that's mostly because it sucks to only have one of them at a time, and replacing it is a hassle, so this is a good change. I usually play either SMN or WAR though so people dying in dungeons has never been a problem for me xD

[All_Nonsense]

If I'm being honest they probably should have just given Warriors a raise. They're the only ones left alive anyway which means they're the better players and deserve to be given a raise so they don't have to suffer alone for 30m beating the trial boss for everyone

(This is a JOKE btw. I've been waiting for phoenix down in battle forever. It's about time)

Bold of you assuming someone will even bring a healer outside duty finder. Not even a RDM or SMN will be required anymore.
