@malttex2 @amorphous714 @vivilotl Cause it is easier, at least at the striking dummy level, and at the level of all legacy content that exists

@amorphous714 @vivilotl People have given many reasons as to why. It’s literally the same game but with massive QoL improvements. You again say ts like the classes having QoL improvements making them more accessible somehow means the game is going to become mega easy. We haven’t seen a single

I love seeing people dooming about xiv changes because I'm just here like yessss, give me an easier rotation so they can focus on giving even harder content 💃

@SpicyBaconPig @miuna_ff14 Like the only content that met expectations was the content that was already within the same content formula we have had forever

@SpicyBaconPig @miuna_ff14 Alright. Cosmic was fine, just a shame you couldnt actually do it when you wanted too unless you lived on a raiding data centre. Limited jobs ended up hardly existing with no blu update and beast master being way too late

My entire timeline is one button vs 123 vs controller vs too easy vs it will be harder Let them coooook Be excited, be concerned, but let’s judge when we get our hands on this thing I am both excited AND concerned lol

@SakiKojiro @ZeeHero1 @hellostal And whm just proved they dont want anything like that so healing will be the same as always. Just maybe pressing the heal button (not buttons, they lost that right) slightly more

@ZeeHero1 @hellostal In WoW healers have DPS built into their utility(paladin needing to shield slam for MP), or they’re so good at healing and bad at dps it’s fine if they don’t dps on more stressful fights(Holy priest) or their dps heals allies passively(Monk and discipline priest)

"we want healing to be the healer's main priority" yo let them cook

@blkbrry_m @valderami @TealSunn @thelifeofwilly 10? What pf does more than 2 pulls

@valderami @TealSunn @thelifeofwilly Phrases you see before 10 straight wipes and party disband

This how pf about to be looking in 8.0

@envinyon Honestly looked like they were moving away from that too. I didnt see thing air in there or lucid

@RengeKurusu i mean yeah, you'd have to fundamentally change how healing kits are designed, you can't just take an axe to them and expect it to work or be fun I just think mp should be more of a resource that has to be managed, and healing should take some level of commitment or pre-planning

people seem dooming the most about the white mage demonstration I don't play healer, and I tend to stay in my lane. But if I have any criticisms of healers now its that I think having 300 free ogcds and you don't really use 90% of them in most of the content, that's kinda lame

@Gamegodtre76161 @Bit_Azure At least the drg changes looked interesting but it also looked like it was like a 9 button rotation max while waiting on your jumps for your pvp limit break

@RengeKurusu @Bit_Azure I saw holy they were cutting hotbar bloat by making the pld 123 into 111 and then making clemency with holy Spirit and went good, then I saw that evolved mode is a entire new dumbed down gameplay and went nope. Thought it'd just make bloat go away which I've wanted for years

This was the funniest thing they said. "Healers only used one button for dps" that's because they only have...one button for dps outside of things like assize and stuff lol. But now it changes every other time you press it so it's fixed I guess lol

@YamaGraves @SapphireHeartSK Nearly full kit. Their wording was all buttons but not all skills

@SapphireHeartSK I mean they already confirmed that you have full kit at 50, so it already makes it better.

Yo maybe harder to do Ultimates (Legacy) ?

@Yoake_Tasogare @roegamaniac The issue is pressing 1 heal button to gcd heal isnt any different than the problem they have with pressing 1 button to dps. Both healing and dps was stupid simple and with whm they somehow made it even simpler

@roegamaniac Literally saw someone go "healer looks stupid" Healers ask for a change for years, so mr prime makes them focused on healing while still contributing damage, and people go "But i don't want to GCD heal." Like 1. okay just play reborn healer, 2. WHAT DO YOU WANT THEN???

People: "WE WANT DIVERSITY IN OUR JOBS" *Mr Prime makes jobs more diverse and removes button bloat and makes them feel fun like pvp and will give folks the player expression they yearn for* People: NO NOT LIKE THAT

@FateFalse Except they never stated the other healers were getting that. They just acted like whm didnt have it and then acted like it was a new feature to hide the fact that they gutted everything else about the job

actually really excited about the healer changes coming, they finally realized healers(not just whm) needed to be compensated for using GCD heals and shields properly not punished. im so curious to what theyre gonna do with AST and SCH now that 2 min meta is gone

@Bit_Azure I mean, looking at drg your not going to be able to use the big jump off cd every time but we will have too see if thats something the other jobs will have something similar too

@RengeKurusu Again not saying its perfect but there was a method to the madness haha. Those restrictions meant they could force decision making in specific scenarios and stuff. I don't know how you do that as much when everyone's just mashing the dps buttons. We'll see!

Sidenote if you think Reborn mode sticks around after 8.0 I have a bridge to sell you. This is onboarding. A lot of people going "you'll have both" but you won't because Reborn is literally getting utility and synergies removed also per the dev letter. So it's all but decided.

@Gamegodtre76161 @Bit_Azure Also benison and aquaveil being merged removes flexibility in how they are used and forces them moreso to be extra tank mits rather than bonus mit for your squishies where it mattered (fixer from m12s)

@Gamegodtre76161 @Bit_Azure For aoe healing i meant, and yeah sure they still have the bell but we also dont know if thats stuck on the 3 minute cd or not anymore

@Gamegodtre76161 @ponderkeep Because cover had to be moved to a less used button i guess

@RengeKurusu @ponderkeep Then why on God green earth does it have the gap closing cover. No mt in his right mind will ever use that. That's a party wipe if used 9/10 times. Hell turn the boss and cleave the raid. Cover gonna be so situational that being unused will be an understatement compared to now

Dont care still doing pld ot dont tell me how to play my game yoshida

@Bit_Azure If your job has personal buffs you will still want to align your hardest hitting moves under them

@RengeKurusu @Sheepswoolly Resources so far have been addersgall and Kuwait from NIN. Doesn't mean there isnt more variety but the wips don't show much variety. And again, if not worrying about buff windows, why NOT just use them off cool down? Its free real estate haha

@Urcle3 @inkblotPrincess Now positioning is dead, you get double the resources on your heals so your resource management is dead (also looks like the little bit of mp management is gone too)

@Urcle3 @inkblotPrincess Whms 7.0 skill expression is managing your 3 free heals per minute (that were instant cast) around your movement and healing needs to remain a damage neutral. it made positioning during fights very important to maximizing your damage and was satisfying to pull off

oh Square Enix just completely and permanently burned the healers in FF14. well, we had a good run.

@AtelierBagur @inkblotPrincess @FlowersSunRain_ Your heal buttons that they also simplified

@inkblotPrincess @FlowersSunRain_ It doesnt matter because you're going to be spending more time pressing your healing buttons than the actual glare spam.
