xhephergaming: In my opinion there's a drought because people in PF are assholes to healers.

Missed mitigations and the party wipes to getting one shot? Well, just a healer problem.

DPS just caused a chain reaction of deaths and then the healer is disoriented from fixing their mistakes? Healer problem.

DPS play like greedy little shits, take extra damage, or tanks collecting damage downs like they're trading cards, and then the healer damage suffers fixing mistakes? Healer problem.

You ask them to fix their mistakes and press their mitigations? This healer's an asshole. How dare you criticize me, I did nothing wrong!

dougrobbFineArt: My main is a WHM, but I stopped playing it cause no matter how many mistakes are made by others players. It’s the healers fault if things aren’t perfect. Players are very vocal about frustrations and mean to healers. It’s not fun to have to pick up everyone’s slack and be told you are not doing a good job

pythiusplaysgames: as a WHM main, it's so discouraging sometimes to feel like concerns are falling on deaf ears. Not surprised to see that there's finally a breaking point being reached where people just do not want to play the role that seems to be allowed to fall to the wayside.

alexchang2712: When someone f up, healers take the punch also. That really annoys me. I have main WHM for years and this problem is always there.

dbull620: In a nutshell, coordinating mitigations and major healer CDs in a random group of 7 other players isn't a simple task yet healers are expected to just somehow pick up the slack while also doing optimal damage. Unsurprisingly most healers don't want to deal with that added stress so PF has a shortage.

rcpoisond: AST was the only healer I enjoyed, it made me feel alive keeping the party/tanks alive during burst - I didn't fall asleep pressing 1. They made it boring and increased the button bloat in the same stroke so I'm just done playing healer.

kit_mason: re: comments saying "its the healer strike!" its not. the healer strike was about how unnecessary healers felt.

the current issue is about the huge stress difference between other roles and healers. every mistake made by any player

v.v.3887: I'm out of the loop with FFXIV. I quit right before Dawntrail started (specifically because healer design is trash in this game and it will never get better), so I'm not well informed about the current state of things, but I have kept an eye on some of the main topics and I'm curious about something: If some players are "striking" by playing DPS or Tank instead, how exactly is that "hurting" other players? Aren't people allowed to play whatever job they want? I've seen words thrown around whenever the strike is mentioned like "selfish," or "entitled," but like... what's the difference between a DPS player who doesn't play healer and a former healer who's swapped to DPS?

FubukiShiromiya: This video really could have used some bullet points and a little more advance planning. I’m sorry but I just have no idea what the point is here and a lot of unrelated ideas like melee dps gear further obfuscate that.

alexmaganda5827: so i cleared this tier as warrior and i reprogged a bit of m3s and m4s as sage and whm and i also did as dps and iam alot more under stress as healer then as the other roles so healing defo feels like more work compared to the other roles like especially knowing when to know to use your big heal cds thats something the other roles just don't have to think about but ofc thats prolly just me not being a main heal and it just comes down to more practice and thats another reason i feel healers are fine how they are currently gameplay wise

I raid on eu and ive noticed a healer shortage too im defo gonna main healer next raid tier
