Just got my SAM to lvl 70 (Im going to main tank) for some dungeons or 24 man.

Nope

>They have the best idle stance out of all the races, gear looks great on them. No slouch, straight back.
I feel like femhighlander has a better stance on disciples of the war only. Overall viera wins. Though are multiple idle stances per race beyond the default which reminds me, if you got video of the other Viera poses let me know because I couldn't find any, only emotes.

I have like 200 ping right now but don't want to pay to switch servers and I'm kind of sick of tanking. Is SAM a good choice for high ping DPS? I want to do either that or MCH.

Threadly reminder that healers are the biggest crybabies in this game and that vast majority of them play healer not because they like it but because they feel it gives them some sort of pedestal to stand on above others because they occasionally have to heal.

Not true if you're still in MSQ progression.
After you're done with MSQ the game is truly depressive to play alone.

Then by all means make healing be required in the first place. Dont blame healers for not healing when nobody needs healing.

True, it's not like BLMs dodged many non-lethal AOEs anyways.

Femroe's running animation looks awful. There's just something really wrong with it, it's like they are not well.

Using an ogcd can clip the animation of your gcd. This delays your gcd action and lowers your dps. The optimal action is to weave a ogcd between a gcd. Sometimes you can use two ogcds between gcds, double weaving, but if you’re bad or your ping is bad, it can clip the gcd and cost you dps.

Yeah but make it so only healers do it.

I have done my fair share on the forums. Just drumming up support here too.

What about it you dumb bitch? You think that only the healer has to do that?

And make them HEAL during it too. Like the tank or party taking constant damage during it.

kek

The absolute WORST part of the healer changes is that there's no way they will up the healing requirements because 95% of the mouthbreathers wouldn't be able to clear any content. So we have more healing tools, a more boring rotation but the fight design will stay the same.
You get to utilize your full kit twice in two years with the Ultimates, if we even get them.

By virtue of being melee and almost all of its skills being "instant cast" it's not as optimal as BLM for someone with 200 ping.

GOD imagine rescuing people when they're doing this while they're still running. Just helping them along, of course and they keep running and fall.

No, turn into a lala do you can go inside dwarf houses in the First.

It would make sense now that they focus on more mobility during fights. Healers constantly running around 24/7 + having to heal.

Ok so what if we add flames to it and slow down everyone except the healer and also we'll give the other 3 heavy so the heal has to make it through first and dispel before the bridge collapses

This is undoubtedly going to get nerfed, because people with impaired motor skills, disabilities, and tremors won't be able to cross that narrow path. And I'm sure the devs don't want to lose that title of having the "Most Accessible online game"

so just like now

This is completely correct. Fuckers here just despise each other and want jobs everyone else plays to be screwed up even if it's at the expense of their own. This is what happens when you gather together people that hate everyone else and themselves most of all. The smallest advantage or disadvantage and it's lol cuck cuck cuck, blind adherence to popular opinion and "meta" because that's what everyone else does and because it can be used as means of denigrating someone else, going for the lowest hanging fruit possible. This is one case where "toxic" would be actually correct to apply here, because if you were to believe the shit that's spouted here - nothing is ever valuable, all jobs suck, everyone is a cuck/tranny/snowflake and the game shouldn't be played because le internet haet machine.

That would require healers to actually heal though. They hate that.

Pegasus by just doing daily roulette of MSQ and Alliance

For what? What's the point?

Release ast was fine, it got overbuffed, it was meant to be an inbetween of whm and sch not to replace both which is what it does now. That was the whole reason it had shorter GCD and less mp costs.

I finally got around to gearing up my gatherers for the first time in a year so I'll have something to do while sitting in queue. The healing changes are so bad that I'm just going to fall back onto DRG and SMN.
Might be 60-minute queue times but damn at least I'll be making money.

Only like 1-2 people need to make it across to stop the mechanic through a super light DPS check. Unless its a party of all cripples it wont be an issue. Worst case scenario they could do what they did in BFD in WoW and make it so if any one member gets across they can activate some orb that teleports the party to them.

Who complained healers had too much responsibility wtf?

They won't get it and that's the problem. I fucking guarantee you that the encounter design will stay the exact same.

Why the fuck do they keep dumbing tanks down? It's like they think if they make the job 100% retard proof (even more so than it already was) that more people will play tank but that's never going to fucking happen
Just let the tank mains have some fucking interesting shit to do because right now tanking is literally just DPSing but with less to do
jesus christ

>hear drak explain the new monk rotation

Im to retarded for this class

I dunno about your strawman, but personally I'd welcome something to do besides tossing out oGCD heals now and then.

You know thats wrong. This whole healer DPS meme stems from the content being 90% DPS downtime in the first place that requires no healing.

So are we not getting an Answers/Dragonsong/Revolution video?

You mean AST. AST has been the one dot one nuke healer for two years.

Release AST was not fine. 3.2/3.3 was the sweet spot, when the toolset was unique enough to be a more risky pick away from WHM, but bads continued to tell everyone AST was bad (the stigma never went away) and then they overbuffed it in 3.4.
20% balance never forgetti.

Attached: bunbun.jpg (2560x1440, 723K)

Again, the problem is the overabundance of ogcd heals. If every healer had the majority of their strong heals on the GCD, there would be an actual balance of dealing damage and doing heals, instead of the current heal-weaving structure we have now.

You don't need to be an elezen to enter ishgardian houses.

yes oneesan

Too brown

That still means you have to stutterstep to move while casting. Pantokrator was annoying on WHM compared to the other healers because of that.

No, fuck off. try /vg/

Okay serious question to the real healer mains in this thread:

Why do you guys even play a healer? I've literally never understood playing a healing in XIV, I play healers in other games but it's just so fucking awful in XIV I literally can't see why anyone would do it. The vast majority of fights in the game require almost no healing at all and the ones that may require healing go out of the window once you are in a party or static with decent people so then you are just left using your very boring relatively weak few damage buttons. Where is the fun in this?

If you remove OGCD heals then WHM's going to be screeching louder than anything you've heard from AST/SCH players. Fucking OGCD heals are all WHM's been able to fall back on since HW.

OMEGALUL POGGERS LOL

?

Honestly it wouldn't bother me since I also play BLM. Good WHMs find ways around problems like that, bad ones suffer and bitch.

Yeah, switching from DRG. I'm tired of being a joke.

MCH bros WW@?

What ping do you get ausfriend?, I'm getting like 180 on NA servers from brisbane.

What's the matter? Interrupting your kekshed maymay posting?

It EATS tankbusters, what more do you people want?

Said it before, will say it again.
>A few more unique GCD healers to allow more control on MP / healing throughput
>More low power, short cd OGCDs and less big powerful OGCDs
>More dynamic bosses, more randomness, more mechanics that won't hurt in the short term but getting hit too much will screw you long term a la primals instead of "lmao one shot" mechanics that are easy to dodge once learned.
Reward healers for thinking ahead and not blowing all their short cds overhealing and using lower MP heals to conserve MP for damage, and always have a potential threat of someone taking damage.

Because healing requires more forethought and planning than DPS in this. Sure theres times where DPS might save certain skills/cooldowns for a burst window, but healing requires more knowledge of the fight to proactively prepare for mechanics. Its not just about feeling 'more useful' than a DPS. If you wanted to play a useful DPS you'd play a tank. Healing at least in XIV isn't spammy, but instead rewards preparation.

And?

Attached: f6aab48596674802780a878d3a70e6d6.jpg (2480x3508, 1.03M)

As SCH every fight is different due to being able to know when to adlo for that tank buster, when to succor for that big dick aoe and knowing when you're free to dps, it's interactive and fun, every other healer is just a bore stood around waiting to heal something, you never have downtime as sch cause you can make fights go way quicker with your skills, you should try sch whilst you still can.

Probably used.

Tell me one dps who has as many mitigation stuff as gnb. I'll wait.

lol

>Reward healers for thinking ahead and not blowing all their short cds overhealing and using lower MP heals to conserve MP for damage, and always have a potential threat of someone taking damage.

This game is bad, this expac is even worse and anyone that plays it and unironically fell for the baited pre-order meme deserves exactly what they are paying for: Nothing. You are gaining nothing by playing this expac, at least you aren't gaining anything you haven't gained already from playing other, better, MMOs, or at least this game when it was legitimately fucking hard. Midas was the best this game ever was and they've already publicly stated that those times will never come back, anyone that stuck around after that announcement is just an overly nostalgic beta that can't accept that their game is basically over. Move on, and find a better MMO, or kill yourself.

What? Are you just making shit up now?

It's surprising that barely anyone notices this. As though they completely missed the fact that most damage in this game is avoidable in the first place, or getting hit by something is a OHKO anyway. Healers just barely fit into the "Move to the correct spot or die" paradigm this game is based on, they could seriously be replaced by a potion/cart system. They only exist because the game is still ultimately a FF title, and people would badger them endlessly for lacking a healing class (Even though WHM is historically the only pure healer. Everything else with heals was usually a hybrid of some sort).

The only option I can see them doing at this point is drastically increase the amount of Raid-wide, unavoidable damage to justify the constant healing. However, that would mean far more stack/spread markers on top of whatever mechanics DON'T deal damage upon successful movement. Otherwise, there's still too much downtime for healing to be an absolute requirement, especially when compounded with the fact fights are 100% scripted anyway.

>when to adlo for that tank buster,
Or you can just put up Benison or Noct Benefic
>when to succor for that big dick aoe
Or you can just put down Asylum or flash Collective as the damage is going out
>and knowing when you're free to dps
Which is basically 95% of the time

All healers have to go through the same process. I'm tired of these "SCH is the only job that has to plan ahead" mental gymnastics that are getting played out right now.

That means other people have been inside her.

No you have the best mitigation tool, Shadewalker.

Never seen a WHM or AST reliably dps without the tank going down 5 seconds into the pull.

>other, better, MMOs,
Like WoW? or GW2? Get the fuck out of here faggot.

are people so bad at spatial awareness that they can't walk in a straight line?

Now that the dust has settled, is WHM in the shed or not?

the fuck are you playing?

>especially when compounded with the fact fights are 100% scripted anyway
This is why healing in FF14 is 75% DPS. The fight is the same every time, you only use GCD heals during prog or if you're playing with retards.

Post logs

uhhhhh

Name 5 better MMOs with proof to your claims

Is it overstepping to say that if healers are just going to become glorified HP batteries, they should just be removed from the game? Like at that point why not just increase how much HP tanks and DPS regen during battle?

I like the class lore of Scholars, them being battlefield commanders who apply tactics on a moments notice a cute fairy companion. Also, Alka Zolka reminds me a lot of Yea Forums if they were to apply themselves

It has great appeal in pugs since you can carry extremely hard as healer. I've come back from wipes with only one other tank alive when doing Shinryu at 4.0 all the time. If I were not a healer and my party sucks I just have to /shrug and say "guess I'll die."


>and the ones that may require healing go out of the window once you are in a party or static with decent people so then you are just left using your very boring relatively weak few damage buttons.
I've never felt this when playing savage and I can imagine ultimate being more healing intensive. I try to map out ogcds sure but usually I have to apply regens or succor/tactics somewhere. I've never cleared a fight exclusively on ogcds.

>Where is the fun in this?
Multitasking dealing damage/learning to heal only just as much as needed, and keeping my cool during kos to save wipes with proper planning and mp management.

I hope I answered all your questions to a satisfactory level.

>It's surprising that barely anyone notices this.

People notice it, there is just a major problem with the healer player base now. DPSing has been a focus for SO long that most healers don't even like the idea of having to heal and shriek when they have to imagine losing their tiny dps buttons. The fact that "Dpsing as a healer is going to be so boring now" is a more prominent complaint than "Healing in this game is boring and not fulfilling at all" is a major problem.

If you never tornado kicked, it's literally the same. Only difference is now you turn on FoW before demolish/snap when you have GL3 and you SSS in your RoF+BH window and use your remaining oGCDs in the window your GCDs are on CD from SSS

Healing is fulfilling... cause it's multitaskable, I dont' JUST heal, I help the fight go faster. I can choose to only heal if i want to or i can choose to help kill the mob, thats what made healing FUN.

Because SCH is the only one that had Indom on a 30s cd and Lustrate on a short cd compared to Essential/Tetra, and that's only a step to what I propose. Less AoE heals, more single targets, maybe a penalty on healing 8 men over 4 men so AoE heals stop being hyper efficient over single heals. More 15-30s cds. More random dodge mechanics that you'll get hit by 30% of the time. Otherwise healing is just going to be the same shit as now, pre-emptive instead of reactionary nearly 90% of the time.

I've been healing since Binding Coil and so I've experienced both ends of the paradigm. I wouldn't mind going back to the ARR style of exceedingly frequent cleaves and tankbusters, where doing damage while healing had an actual risk-vs-reward component to it.

A bit too much chocolate for my taste, but it's okay, I guess. Also - eye color?

Because while outgoing damage being increased sounds good, this is SE and we already know from the vids of the dungeon that enemies dont hit hard at all so healing is the same as ot was in SB, except now will less stuff to do

At first I made a brown skin white/grey haired Viera, but they all look the same really. I'm leaning more toward white veena with red hair now

DPSing as a healer being boring is a problem because you don't need to fucking heal most of the time. This isn't like old WoW or EQ where healers need to stand around with their thumbs up their asses between heals to regen more MP.
And I don't see MP management becoming a thing again beyond fucking you for using Raise too much.

I enjoy playing fights in all 3 roles
Problem is that healers have too many oGCD heals that are way too strong compared to the incoming damage

>Why do you guys even play a healer?
because healing is one of the easiest roles to fuck up and i didn't want to fully depend on retarded healers

>Nothing to distinguish a good DRK player from a bad one
Stop being such a dramatic faggot. This is blatantly false. You can still tell a good one from bad based on how they use their mitigation and how they tank in general, it's more than just standing there taking hits. A bad player will not position optimally, it will not use the mitigation effectively, their health will swing up and down like a jojo. A good player will do all those things correctly and optimally while still performing its DPS as it should, the healthbar barely inching because every tankbuster or mini buster will get eaten entirely

if you're asking here I'm guessing you want instant gratification. This game is made for buildup and has big moments of gratification but you work for them. Truth be told I don't think this is a game for you but the trial is free up to level 35 for all available classes and has no expiration date. Game gets better and better beyond that of course but it's not a bad sampling.

I really hate to bring up WoW but even back in WotLK I don't think Priests had any actual HEALS that were off the GCD besides maybe Desperate Prayer, which was self-only, Lay on Hands which had a huge cooldown, and Lightwell which required players to click on it and was thus a total joke that no one used.
So even though mana management was a joke that entire expansion healers still always had to be ready to actually heal since 99% of their toolkits was hardcasted GCD heals. In XIV right now healers are the opposite and thus they can often afford to heal by just dropping oGCDs between damage spells.

It's not really what the thread is trying to say, He just saw a short haired girl in their school outfit but thought it was a boy from a distance. He assumed their gender.

Castrum meridanium. Most moogle tomestones per minute.

why play healer if you just want to dps?

WHM lilies should have worked by giving you an action with a 90s CD that gives three of them to you at once. Then all of the Afflatus spells could be on their own separate GCD that can be weaved in between your Glare casts.

All the fights that really matter require it. Damage is unavoidable in raids and it's beyond what even perfect DPS/tank players can mitigate.
I don't mind having lower DPS if it ultimately helps the team.
I like helping people, and my IRL friends that I started the game with chose DPS and tank classes as their starters.
Also I'm a total moralfag and WHM was right up my alley in terms of theme to create anime Aristotle.

We don't know that at all. SCH's healing kit is super fucking busted in shadowniggers too. Strongest it's ever been. Chances are we're dpsing just as much, it's just a lot more boring now. You know something's wrong when a job becomes hands-down the strongest healer and they aren't happy about it.

This has yet to be seen. I'm all for giving the demo build the benefit of doubt but there really wasn't a lot of damage being done in that dungeon.

I've played a shit ton of other MMO games besides WoW, what is it with you fuckers and your obsessive fixation on WoW?

Did you play ARR sch?
You’d understand if you did. Healers were unironically the most complicated job and had the raid utility dps now have. What they did from ARR to now is strip healers of all their utility and dps and give it to dps while also giving dps a fuckton of ways to buff each other.
I still don’t know how people can defend having less skills than they did in ARR, and no i’m not talking about upgrades, every class got at most 1-2 new skills this expansion while removing a fuckton of other skills.
Also you have absolutely no idea how much i am going to miss bane and shadowflare.

Healers cant play, tanks cant play. My roulettes were slow and boring despite my best efforts as the tanks would single pull, the healers wouldn't DPS or pressed one button every 10 seconds.

Consider the timing of this event coming out and when it ends. This event is not for you. It's for them.

Yes unless yoshi drastically changes the jobs

Your job is to HEAL. So get healing.

Does anyone even look at their keyboard or the skills on the screen? I turn all animations off. I'm more enjoying the fights and mechanics than what my character does, I could care less about that.

>BRD's Apex Arrow caps at 450 potency instead of 450 potency at its base
BRDbros...

this is bait but we still don't actually have to heal
the mobs in the showcased dungeon don't hit hard at all

The point is to help new players through the content so no unsynced

But for solo you can go with squadrons

>it's just a lot more boring now.
It was always fucking boring, it isn't any different than before. If anything, now i can spam broil nonstop without having to refresh 4 dots, netting in more damage.

>want to try tank
>but tanks are expected to take the lead in dungeons
Oh god

Imagine being this wrong

Oh wow thanks for the enlightenment. Now I see. I will now spam Cure on the tank who is at full HP.

So if everyone is good at evading damage should a healer just stand and do nothing?

unless you are in a world prog group, you are playing healer because you are either
>lazy
>unable to play the other roles at a competent level

nothing in sb2 will change this

Okay, here is your new SCH combo bro. YAY MORE SKILLZ

early access

Most scholar mains who actually like the job like it for the complexity AND the power.
Now it's just powerful and braindead. Still mandatory in all content, and you're spending half the fight just mashing broil. Nobody is happy about this.

Be honest with me Yea Forums, how many of you are actually going to play this expansion fully. I fully expect myself to go the SB route with this expansion where I do the MSQ and then just quit.

Just try out with squadron then.

Just run until you it a wall. It’s not like dungeons are hard content.

>don't use tank cooldowns, your job is to tank and get hit not to mitigate
>don't use enmity cooldowns, your job is to dps not to manage aggro

Just do it. Feels great not having to wait on some slow motherfucker.

dungeons are linear after 2.0 so you'll be fine.

Have fun.

You guys grossly exaggerate the amount of downtime in this game. At most between mechanics you should have time to reapply a DoT and use a filler damage spell.

I don't know what content to run and when does the event end exactly I don't know when Shadowbringers comes out.

Absolutely. I'd honest to god rather sit in 40 minute queues than deal with this watered-down, boring shit. I can do unspoiled nodes while I wait and at least make money while I mash two fucking buttons.

Probably me, but I also like crafting and selling stuff so even if the main content bores me there's always that.

i play healer because it's the easiest job to fuck up at

I don't like RNG, but I'd really like if SCH got a stacking DoT as a filler. Give them a DoT called Prolonged War or something that is kind of weak but can be stacked like 5 times, and you're encouraged to let it never fall off or you have to redo all 5.

The skill of the average wow player is astronomically higher than the average FFXIV player.

The average ffxiv player (as in 50th percentile) doesn't even raid

Every healer coming from WoW is going to fall asleep since instead of constant raid healing they just need to press a few off global cooldown instant nuke heals every minute and can faceroll everything else, WoW encounter design is very different because there aren't unlimited in-combat resurrections so rather than just fucking up and going from 100-0 and being raised with a penalty the raid spends much more time at low health and in need of constant attention to stay alive, similarly death is an enormous setback whereas in XIV it only matters if the loss in stats result in enrage

The average WoW player is a braindead moron who still forgets to defend farm/stables in Arathi Basin a decade later but he's still miles ahead of the average NA FFXIV player

it's not a gross exaggeration for scholars though due to shields and fairy
there is a LOT of downtime to dps
and they went and neutered the dps skills but made the already-busted healing kit even stronger

>don't use tank cooldowns, your job is to tank and get hit not to mitigate
Mitigation is part of what tanking is. Don't be retarded.

truth. every healer player I know is a lazy person or can't get purple parses with any DPS role.

>want a chill group to play one month every patch, clear and leave
>people always take more than a month to clear or continue playing during drought
Every fucking time

Part of tanking is not dying, part of healing has never been DPS since the game isnt balanced around needing healer DPS, while it is balanced around needing tank cooldowns to survive mechanics.

>BLU comes back to bite square in the ass by invalidating their ploy to get us to queue for low level garbage
I love it. This needs to spread everywhere

You were saying?

Huh? You can heal savage mostly with just ogcds right now and they still buffed the healing.

the absolute state of tranny fantasy

You grossly underestimate oGCD heals

I run a FC so I have to stay subbed to keep it from falling apart.

Bro if im doing a leveling roulette im pretty sure as a SCH I can go through entire dungeons without pressing a single GCD heal.

He doesn't even say trans rights, he just says they shouldn't bully fags for being fags. Goddamn I hate trannies so fucking much and fuck the delusional reddit tranny that thought yoshi-p was talking about him

As a SCH main since ARR who also played since 1.x Beta. I enjoyed SCH for the heal aspect and the overall lore of it, sure the dps aspect of all the dots, even thunder/aero once upon a time but it wasn't that entertaining felt more of a chore to me in that aspect. I wanted to be the one in the groups saving everyone from dying. Not too fussed with only having one DoT and a aoe or single target skill for damage. So don't say nobody is happy about this, you can't speak for everyone.

I don't think I'm going to keep the red highlights, it looked good for DRK but the tips of the ears being effected bother me.

wow there is sO MUCH HEALING...............

NOT ANYMORE HAHAHHAA

>HE DOESN'T KNOW

this is kind of hot keep it

SCH gets back all of its ARR damage spells, including both Thunder and Aero, and even gets SB Miasma 2 and oGCD Shadowflare with a 15s recast BUT

>Embrace is now 100 potency
>Whispering Dawn is now back down to 100 potency
>no Rouse
>Seraph loses its shields
>Sacred Soil doesn't have the regen
>Excog is down to 600 potency
>Lustrate is 400 potency
>Dissipation doesn't resummon your fairy
>fairy summoning is back to a 5s cast
>Indom is 400 potency with a 60s recast
>Chain Strategem now has a 180s recast
>Ruin 2 costs four times the MP of Broil 2

Would you accept it and play this SCH?

Well, maybe try being a red dps instead of a green dps for once

WoW raids are braindead though, unlike XIV raids

>exaggerate
one of these succors were casted during forced downtime

If a PLD is able to beat you in threat as a DRK you have seriously fucked up. PLD is the worst at generating aggro quickly.

ok retard

As Scholar you can heal most dungeons without ever using a single hardcasted heal. Fairy and oGCDs are more than enough outside of very large pulls but guess what tanks can use their own defensives to survive those and we're cucked by stupid walls and gates in every Dungeon now anyways

In raids hardcasting heals is even more worthless, just place the fairy in the center of the room and indom on cooldown.

>Makes co healer do all the work

Just imagine dps queues getting worse

not gonna resub just for a pair of earrings. Might get back for the last day or so of let it rain to get the manji pose emote though

The co healer is ALSO just using ogcd heals and the occasional Regen

Why would anyone want to play SCH with shitty ACN dps rotations.

Attached: glamour is the endgame.webm (960x544, 2.97M)

mitigation is pretty much the healer's job, it's a minuscule part of tank's toolkit therefore it should never be a priority and you shouldn't use it

no, the job of the tank is to absorb the hits
the healer takes care of the tank not dying
a healer's job is to ensure the party will survive a determinate encounter, by making the fight shorter you're essentially reducing the damage the tank takes therefore by dpsing you're actually mitigating and shielding the tank
dps = healing

>I'll proceed to act like an ape, that'll show him

Watching 4 dot ticks was never my idea of fun. and one of those dots was ground effect that tanks just pull the enemy out of most the time. it was a fucking joke. might as well just play a fucking summoner. give me broil spam and one dot anyday.

everyone is gonna be leveling DRKs, GUKs and DRKs now, so it will be fine

It's almost 9AM here on a work/school day.

Queues are shit right now because of the itinerary moogle event, dumbo.

>>don't use enmity cooldowns, your job is to dps not to manage aggro
That's basically how most of the playerbase already plays DPS

I just play smn when i want to dps :)

Wow mythic raiding is much more difficult than XIV savages

about that...
sch usually heals more too
biggest healing is also from star for big aoe, which us ogcd and doesnt cost mana

Attached: zoink.jpg (730x467, 61K)

You're seriously forcing this and you know it. It's not a minuscule part stop lying. You said yourself tank's job is to absorb hits. Mitigation is part of that.

Why are healers such whiny babies?

Thank god i play with friends.

give it to me
at least it'll be fun to play and STILL be mandatory for savage

Is it though? Look at the guy underneath this text. Imagine taking this guy, rescuing him into AOE and votekicking him for dying afterwards. Fear not the bully, my friend. And let the bullying begin.
Peak wowfugee coping. MADE for bullying.

Not him but I heal a LOT more than this. Do I just play with bad people in pugs, or do I heal when I dont really need to?

>very few posts complaining about DPS changes
>most posts complaining about thanks are just parroting stale memes
>healing absolutely mad non-stop
I guess YoshiP was right, no point in introducing another healer for ShB when healer balance is this fucked.

What the top 1% of players do doesn't and shouldn't apply to everyone else.

DPS now get mitigation skills for the entire party, get back in your shed

I played the game for a months with all expansions
got a warrior to 60, blm and bard to around 55, played a bit of sam too when I got to 50 with my warrior main, then a nin up to 40, really enjoyed each of them.
but then I started getting into crafting, so I got both min/bot to 50, and ALL crafting jobs to around 35-40. it was soul crushing but I think I liked it.
I dont know if I should come back. that was around 6 months ago.

XIV active mitigation is a joke compared to most games. There doesn't have to be a blood DK equivalent but Christ is shit like Rampart boring

How to make Yuri Lowell glamour for Gunbreaker?

Yes, actually, it should. The game should be balanced around the highest level of play, not the lowest. Balancing around the worst players is what makes high tier metas so shit.

>pugs
that is from a speedkill (a bad one)
pugs are trash, healing optimization is all about both healers working together

If you know encounters typically you know when its safe to let the party or tank regen rather than burst heal. I see WAY too many healers use Medica II then follow up with a Medica or spot heal when there isn't another roomwide AoE for like 30-60+ seconds. Not topping off a DPS might result in their death due to an avoidable mechanic, but thats their fault not yours.

You're not trusting your hots/fairy

>The game should be balanced around the highest level of play
Kill yourself, tigole.

too bad only 1% of players actually does savage

>Do I just play with bad people in pugs, or do I heal when I dont really need to?
Most likey both, but in cases like this the AST/SCH are actively talking and planning their healing together so optimize it. In Pugs and so forth it's okay to overheal/heal more than this

>one fucking combo
You mean like it has now? Because if you use Power Slash more than once during an encounter you're objectively a bad player, user.

Make sure to actually Place your fairy in most cases rather than leave it on Heel, she's a dumbass that will prioritize following you over casting heals unless told otherwise. Eos can soloheal most content with you only providing emergency heals and Succors

>Yuri Lowell glam for anything other than Samurai
this is why you fail

jobs get aoe mitigation oGCDs and rDPS buffs and most retards don't even know what the fuck they do let alone ever consider pressing them

>The game should be balanced around the highest level of play,
And this is how many mmos have died.
