@@jimmorrison4ever529 I believe you, but consider that a picto who was just as good as you would outdamage you with only half the effort you put in. And then also heal and buff the party.
9:47 Aww yeah! We're about to have Pokémon housing tech! Small outside, huge inside. Next thing we need is ESO levels of furnishing placement, where we can put stuff wherever we want (would make floating furniture way easier).
@@DeclanRese New players play through absurd amount of old content to get there, unless they make you start a new character in sol9 theres no fucking need to keep teaching what stack markers are, do you have a brain?
1:36 If you want to enjoy the last area at its best you don't have to wait. If you go into new game + and just put it back to the end of EW and go to the last zone of DT everything is back to the way it was before.
Apologies lemme summarize 1: Interior design used to be location dependent. eg: goblet had a particular style. Now you can use any style. Or this new clean style with removerd pillars. 2: In the future (not 7.1!) they will give a very expensive gil option to make the interior of a small/medium house a large INSIDE the house. Outside? Small! Inside? Large!

"I dont know what it is like." Ive seen many Alpha Legend healers die many times during the current bath of expert dungeons. People are better at them now but theyre really interesting. If you're assuming the Dawntrail dungeons are just a mindless as the Endwalker ones... Sorry you're having such a bad experience with high skill groups, but even for DPS and Tanks repeating the same content over and over gets dull for everyone at some point. As you correctly pointed that being a healer the intensity of your experience depends on the others, but that is the nature of a support role. I think for most people they want to be in the healthy balance mode but that may not be the reality. I understand you think healer kits are over simple when everything is going right, but are they over simple when everything is going wrong? As someone with lots of experience it often can be hard to differentiate since you're so ingrained, but the amount of stress of maintaining multiple DOTs when everyone is dying and the party is already a lot for mid and low skill players. I understand youre still upset about the sage double dot being cut, but I'm not sure complaining or talking about it in every video you make is going to have any sort of meaningful effect. No job has a double DOT, and by giving Sage a double DOT would undo about 7 years of design direction.
i main SGE and WHM these days (but i used to be a BRD main when i started), and whenever i play a dps class during primetime i usually wait around 10 - 15 minutes for queues to pop, from past experience with previous expansions vs now i feel that this hasn't really changed much, i would say queue times used to be 5 - 8 minutes back in endwalker but thats natural since the game had a huge swell of new players rushing to play endwalker, now that the swell has passed the queue times have basically returned to its pre-endwalker figures. if you have issues with queue times then might i suggest playing a healer? this is one of the main reason i play it (old reasons being i like being support, but nowadays it transformed into - liking having peoples lives in my hands) and it really helps if i have to clear msq content off-primetime hours or if i wanna do roulettes off-primetime hours. so when is primetime? usually one to two hours before the daily roulette reset, and upto three to four hours after daily roulette reset. thats your best window for trying to queue up as a non-healer class. for us its pretty much instant all throughout the day everyday. edit: i just now realized that the topic was about partyfinder, not duty roulettes, im toopid 🥴
I played white mage in 2.0. Several fights were a dps check against the healer's mp pool. Thin air these days is so unnecessary, I can be extremely lazy with my lucid dreaming and still have >90% mp with max dps.
I've been a main healer for about 8 or 9 months in a row, but I still have the Sprout icon, when a player (usually DPS) doesn't dodge the mechanics that he has to dodge waiting for me to heal him, I simply tell him "don't do the Healer Adjust meme plz" "I'm not a Sprout", and if he keeps taking damage... well, he should learn by being a carpet for the boss
A bad dps, as long as they do the mechs, isn't that noticeable for most players. Most players are focused on their own actions anyway. But a healer not immediately healing you is noticeable. So they get a lot of flag quickly. Not to mention that 1 bad dps is easily compensated for while 1 bad healer is not and also effects how people look at the second healer in full parties Even if the reason you weren't immediately healed was a good one (like having half hp is only a problem when there is incoming damage. If not it's perfectly fine to use regen). I also noticed in duty finder that if I overheal people are more likely to be happy with me then if I heal the required amount and focus more on damage. People who don't heal don't get healing
i'm in a static for healing, this is my first time as a SCH. I've done some raiding before so i'm not completely inexperienced, I just picked the job because no one else wanted to do it and I like the job. But MAN is it stressful being a healer in raiding. You have to worry about so much, you CAN'T just not think about the fight and react like a WHM/AST. Most jobs just have to worry about where to stand and how to do the mechanics but I'm thinking about damage percentage per mechanic and what it looks like with/without mits. You have to fully understand the fight, your partys performance, who you need to look after (ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE CONSTANTLY NEAR DEATH), How your skills work because your Fairy is on a Delay and one skill locks you out of EVERYTHING for 20 seconds. So I'm studying like crazy for a fight and this is FOR FRIENDS.I cannot imagine having to go through all this nonsense for a group of strangers who if they die because they don't Mitigate or use personal heals, blames me. I refuse to enter a toxic environment like that for gear that doesn't even matter.
If you arent using what mitigation you have on DPS, dont talk to your healer. Stay silent and bad like you are. Mitigation tools are in kits for a reason.
first time: thanks for the video, mate! eventually it helps me to keep up going to the isle..? When the island was announced, I had imagined something completely different. A place where I can be free and do what I want. Where I can breed animals, build up my island slowly and bit by bit, and go there when I really feel like it. Well, no way! I think that the island offers absolutely NOTHING of that. It's stressful, constant farming, and I just have the feeling that I'm being slowed down at every turn SO that I can't get any further. I don't even look there anymore with my main character, with my second character only when I'm bored - and within minutes I'm already fed up... a total disappointment for me! If the cosmos becomes just as bad, then good night!
so much for healers being redundant with the new changes lmao but personally i am just tired of tanks not doing their part and then my healer self gets shat on for the other players not avoiding very avoidable mechanics. which is kinda sad because i love healing but ohwell. guess i'm leveling dps jobs instead now
MCH has been the worst DPS in the game since Shadowbringers. unfortunately, unless Square changes the philosophy on Phys Ranged as a whole, it's always going to be the case.
I got upset with my healers the other day not because they were messing up, but because they only asked tanks for mits to help them! I reminded them that DPS has moves like addle, feint, and samba shields (all dps abilities which were present in our current party). It was at that moment, tanks and healers were united in blasting the shitty ass DPS players we had on our team who NEVER used any of those abilities during our runs. Needless to say, our runs after that were so smooth with all the mits the DPS were using. I really wish tanks & healers stood united more often and looked out for each others backs. Realistically, most dps players are BAD and the reason for wipes. DPS - git gud you fucking casuals!
I main GNB but do play other roles, I make damn sure i use ALL my mitigation when its a good idea to use it, some attacks REALLY pack a punch, earliest example i can think of is O11 Normal, Mustard Bomb HURT back then, even with two cooldowns, it could rip your HP in half.
I stopped healing years ago, during Stormblood simply because i got fed up with the lack of learning of other players, i can take a stray hit here or a bad dodge there but when im seeing no effort at all to improve and RELY on me at all times, im not going to heal. Stack this with the general attitude of its the healer's fault no matter what, had a PLD die to Behemoths Meteors and last bosses Ancient Flare EVERY TIME and said i was a "suck arse healer", yeah sure buddy, its MY fault YOU cant understand you have max 8k HP but got hit for 10k...
All healers be aware if you rescue the healer casting lb3 it cancels the animation lock early. I just learned this a couple weeks ago. Apparently it’s common knowledge.
I don’t heal as a main job this tier but will next - I don’t plan to play with lazy players, they their use their skills or I won’t help them. It’s as simple as that. They need to stop being bad and play the game
You know... agree with me or not; I just think the developers designed healers to the burden of other's mistakes. They know a lot of players aren't actually good with their toolkits. They set up healers to catch these problems because there are many players who sit at level max level not knowing how to play their job, nor they coordinate with their team. Its why things have been dumbed down for the healer role. The stress is already printed in due to player behavior. They don't give us extra dps buttons because Joe Sally over there is constantly getting hit by mechanics, they aren't using their mitigation, but they'll call you lazy if you don't use your full DPS kit in the midst of their mistakes. It breeds toxicity and even more pain for healers who just want to do their role properly. Being torn in two directions to dps or to heal is rampant because its not consistent with every random group they fall into. Its better to be safe than sorry, and that is how these developers think. A DPS might think "I don't want to think about support! I just want to DPS" is the same mentality of a healer who only wants to heal and not DPS. The problem goes both way where roles feel like their stance is pure, and not mixed. It does not get taught well in this game, and we have to rely on the community to push that forward. Still though; it doesn't reach many players out there regardless of the forums, RU-vid videos, etc; because players don't check these sources. The problem with healers is just a mix of role understanding, developer fears, and the game not teaching squat about these small but effective tools.
It'a kinda odd you say physical ranged has been hard to get in pf tbh, cause reset reclears have been packed with MCHs such that I can't go in on the job I decided to main this tier(that being DNC. I'm usually a SAM.)
"You can give out big beefy shields" Yeah.. you can crit succor the tank into deployment tactics so a tasty shield can be applied party wide ready for that "cruelty" spam the nier raid loves to do soo much... ONLY FOR THE SAGE TO UNDO THAT WITH THEIR WEAK ASS PARTY WIDE SHIELD 😭😭😭 You don't know pain until you've wasted every single cast of deployment tactics when you've been pared with a sage in an alliance raid :(
It's insanity that this video has a "not good" ratio of likes to dislikes to me and true disappointment in the FFXIV community especially when it comes to healers healing. I'm like you Cole, I'm very healer centric. I gotta say, coming back since my break during Endwalker patches, everything you say is correct and I can see it despite not even being into Savage raiding. Just normal raids and extreme trials are showing me enough through what most cohealers do, and cross checking with gear. Basically, I can tell if a healer is just an overall bad/new player, or one who truly is just healing poorly because of what they want to do or think that is what they should be doing and it's horrendous. My thing is, I don't think it's only parsing that's the problem -- I think the first issue is that the community too strongly stressed that "healers need to be doing DPS" and combined with the mechanics of DPS roles that are taught as severely important -- now we have healers who are thinking about those things as critically important to their DPS as a healer and have healing duties deprioritized so much. And further, are so stupid as to forget that improving their DPS at any measurable risk to party survival or even not being able to fix someone else's "mistake" is a far far feature DPS lose their their stringest optimizations or greed. It's super fucking dumb to be in a normal raid, that's struggling along, and my cohealer has way better gear, is the pure/regen healer, and can't seem to top people off in a struggling party because "that's not where they're supposed to have to do." They stand tall in DPS (I have a parser open), but actually healing is like..beneath them? I see this in PF for EX trails as well. The only reason why I tolerate this for a period of time is that, like you I enjoy needing to struggle as a healer as a means of getting better. It's a similar story to when I join fresh prog / practice parties for EX trials despite having cleared it 20+ times and having all of the gear I actually need. If you ask me, healers clearing savage content in a "well oiled raid" is not the mark of a good or great healer. A great healer is able to drag a failing party deeper and further into fights, or through mechanics they aren't executing well at all. Yes, the rest of the party should practice and get better, but healers cover things on the other end. Both ends contribute to a clear, and once you've cleared the most meaningful speed enhancments...guess what? It isn't coming from the healers. Having 10 extra GCDs from them is maybe around +3000 potency gained. Having single DPS death less -- even if we're talking near instantly raised, and ignoring the state of their rotation/buffs being lost -- is 3-4ish GCDs of zero (it takes a while for a dead player to be raisable, and for the accept to come through and they are standing and ready to GCD again); then for a full minute that DPS player is 25% less damage output. By my math that is loss around10 GCDs...but from a DPS player who's normal potency per GCD is about 50%-75% higher, so 4500 potency? Again, that's just one death, instant ress, pretending they come up and are instantly "normal power state" within their rotation aside from the 25% debuff. This basic analysis should shed light on hardcasting ressurection which so many healers refuse to do: 8 seconds to pick up a DPS player is absolutely worth it unless your swiftcast is less than 12ish seconds away, so you continue until it comes off CD. The only reason not to hardcast ressurection during a fight is if you can't due to mechanics. This is where a lot of bad healers *say* they can't, but really expose their weakness as players: they can, but they don't know where and when. I know in Worqor EX, there's a mechanic right before the conal fire blasts mechanics where a lot of times mistakes can be made for one reason or another. The time between is massive and there's no damage during, and the first blast is always center so there's plenty of time to move right to the middle, and hardcast a slow ressurection. Knowing, this, and being a good healer who basically always has swiftcast available for ressurection, that means a single healer should be able to pick up two bodies at the start of this mechanic. My cohealer can die, and I'll get them and someone else up. Doing things like this does not show up in parsers, and makes for a complex FFlogs analysis which will only show "downtime on your primary DoT" or something else irrelevant to the reality. I wish it was smart enough for healers to detect a player left for dead, did the math on that player's DPS otherwise, and said "if you casted hard ress instantly, this is how much more damage comes out of your raid. Oh, and you had swiftcast ready so it's even worse for you."
Funny thing: I've mained healers since ARR and was all set to main healer for this tier too. However, every single time my 3 friends and I are in pf, we end up having to wait for the tank and melee positions to fill, so I've ended up maining tank instead and flexing to melee and healer as needed XD
I made a new character (sage, ninja, viper) for the sole purpose of never having to put up with DT's and the community in DT's BS in roulettes ever again.
