it seems like you leave out some important points, and kinda bring up unrelated things such as the duty roulette when the argument is about the higher tier content. I also disagree that 1030pm is considered late for ppl with jobs, as thats what it seemed like what you were alluding to. You also look at the first 2 fights on 1 dc, at 1 pm which if some worked a 9 to 5 job they wouldn't be home for so you limit your subject groups. In conclusion I would say you might not be wrong, but you lack all the relevant information you'd need to draw any complete conclusion
You know this video hits hard. I found a static to do Another Sil'd with and I'm the healer o.o , The problem is maybe allot of attitude in the savage run scares off the healers XD or maybe they block people and those people who make parties are not being seen IDK but this situation of no healers in ff14 just here to say. I Main WHM/ Astro / Sge / Sch i hate playing just one I learned to play them all im jack of all trade master of none but it still doesn't stop me. I think people should stop lieing and trying to manipulate the game in their favor. Thanks Creely for debunking this.
Also the server time argument is invalid , you can have other DC player who have different time zones. So "late night" might be possible to get decent amount of people. I still queue at 1Am and still not have difficulty finding people
Some quick totals of open roles in your pf (counting split roles as half) Tank: 54.5 Healer: 62.5 DPS: 92 (46 adjusted for the fact that the party needs 4, not just 2)
Based on your pf, healers are the most in need (mostly in p7 and p8, which have actual heal checks). Xeno also posted a nice video with the demographics if you want to see a larger sample (not quite the same population, but very similar).
As a sage main from Crystal I literalist go to aether and it’s an all you can eat buffet lmao. Also feels bad when all the white mages in pf refuse to use medica 2 so I have to spam ekrasian prognosis, which is so bad during purge like 5 times XD
I'm in Tonberry and I'm surprised that people talk about healer shortage. So I guess, at first, that my server is special cause our PF never gets that problem. But then my server is the most populated world in Elemental DC so maybe that 'debunk' my theory of it being special ^__^.
And now looking at your PF, I'm starting to think that WHERE IS THE HEALER SHORTAGE? (or unless you're in Tonberry too). I hope my friend won't see this video, cause literally just last week I told him "hahahaha, Tonberry will never get that problem, healer shortage, what a joke!". 😓😰
LOL. I spent hours on pf waiting for healers, specially on p8s. For at least the first 4 week of this savage tier, every day was 3-4 groups filled with all other slots but missing healers. On average was waiting 1h for healers, sometimes more. Now you came here, on the 8th week of tier, take one look on pf and say "people are crazy, that's a lie". Sure, you right. Here a comment for your YouTube engagement.
my static is missing a healer unfortunately. so we're forced to have a pf fill in. and with the "healer shortage" i made very different experiences than you. sometimes we're waiting 2 hours just for one healer to reclear p5 to p8….. this is quite tedious at times…. and most of the time we dont even find a "healer main" but some guy quickly buying market board gear because he's actually maining another job, but wanted to join for reclears lol
Thing I keep noticing on my DC is the amount of partial parties. I can only assume it's because people are putting the ilevel requirement too high for others looking even if that's way higher than the duty requires. I get it, better gear means you're a slight bit more likely to get a clear without hassle. That doesn't mean you need to put your PF 10-20 ilevels too high a few days after the content releases. You're literally just making it harder for good players to join your group that just may not be geared yet and thus, you get to wait a long ass time for your groups.
It's not a healer shortage. It's the PF groups that set their minimum item level to 615 and wonder why geared healers aren't swarming to their group. Most people at 615 that either tank or heal either already have a static or join unrestricted groups.
The people complaining that there aren't any healers are like people complaining that they're dying of thirst but all they're doing is laying on their back with their mouths open waiting for the rain to start and bring the water to them.
This is a classic example of "I don't see it so it's not real." Your experience being contrary doesn't mean it's not happening. If you had data from more people this would be a more compelling argument.
Also a barrier shortage is still a healer shortage.
Most of the time I see healers in PF they don't know the mechs and because of this "healer shortage" excuse the full party treats them as crystal eggs and never boots bad healers… I hate it! People keep joining parties for prog points where they are not, this is pretty common, but the fact that I cannot say anything to a healer when they do things bad is just a NO for me…. if a dps or tank can be shittalked for not doing their shit, then so should the healer be. And now because of this fake news many people say they dont even want to try healing hard content cause they get scared. Guys if you can heal the current unreal, you are FINE.
Very true, there's no shortage. Hell I even made sage my main when I used to play warrior. The things is, we don't want to play with YOUUUU (not you specifically lol)

idk…JP servers have an overabundance of healers. We need tanks…it could be an NA problem…
It’s because people expect more from the healers on high end game stuff. There are lots of reasons healers may not be looking for high end stuff.
No.

I’m a healer main in NA and I find tanks missing way more then healers

Im gonna start playing ff 14 as my first ff game. Is picking dps a safe choice if i intend to mostly play solo?
Your perspective is from static groups . They are talking about pfs.
Its way more stressful for healers tonqueue in pfs , so they rarely do. There is a shortage there. Also depends on servers data center.
Also the server time argument is invalid , you can have other DC player who have different time zones. So "late night" might be possible to get decent amount of people. I still queue at 1Am and still not have difficulty finding people
Some quick totals of open roles in your pf (counting split roles as half)
Tank: 54.5

Spoken like a true casual player, this is completely blind to what's actually happening lol 😆 the problem is savage healing is obnoxious this tier.

I love playing barrier healer! I just wish I was in endwalker so i can help out xD not everyone is enjoying endgame content.
It’s getting better each week but if you’re looking for p8s prog during the early weeks like week 3. It was a problem

The objective statistics say otherwise but ok.

my friend and I pf as both healers together this tier, we always have issues finding Tanks and Phys range.
Here Here! A Healer Shortage is like saying there is a Tank Shortage. XD
Edit: Subbed to you by this video.

I pf’d this tier for the first few weeks on Primal and there was a definite healer shortage.

Nothing like your healer playing with your life for them deepz 😆

Guys chill. I'll be there. I got tanks, melee and mages off my leveling list already. I just gotta finish dancer and then ill be there
