Minda Silva

Greetings! I'm a shield healer that has been playing since the 1.0 open beta (~15 years). I'm looking for a long term savage and ultimate raid group. Ideally I would like a group that runs 9-16 hrs/wk. My current prog point in the current tier is M5S enrage, I am only just now returning after taking a break for a few weeks. I am going to be running with another casual/MC group but I really want to start looking for something that meets my needs long term. I suspect it'll take me a very long time to find this group.

I'm a neurodiverse raider, I have both ADHD and autism. There is nothing I like to do more than raid in FF14 but after a recent burn out I have started to discover that I need to set rules and boundaries around how I play to protect my mental health. I really need to find a raid group that respects my needs so that I can thrive and have fun.

Some of my needs to be a happy and successful raider are...

• Quiet on voice. No talking during pulls.
  • OR...I'm allowed to deafen myself if the chatter starts to overwhelm me.
  • Sudden loud outburst are very overwhelming.
  • I'm very easily distracted.
• I'm the group two healer (H2).
  • This has become the norm for most groups so I'm very adamant about sticking to it.
• I only play shield healer.
  • While SCH is generally my favorite, I often fallback to SGE because it's much easier to prog with.
• I am the only shield healer.
  • I know how strong a double shield comp can be but it generally means making adjustments that I don't really enjoy doing.
• No changing strats.
  • Once I learn a mech I expect to do it the same way everytime.
  • Strat changes that don't affect me are fine.
• No outside prog.
  • I have a fear of falling behind which is exacerbated by people going off and getting extra practice in PF/other groups.
  • ...Or at the very least I don't want to know about any extra prog people are getting.
• No subbing support roles.
  • This goes along with the above...if I can't make raid I don't want the group to make progress without me for fear of falling too far behind.
  • I think healer and tank synergy is important and is lost when subbing, therefore it's really just a waste of everyone's time to try and sub these roles.
• No deadlines.
  • Groups that are trying to clear by a certain date have never been a good experience for me. I'm not always the fastest at learning new mechanics and I don't want to feel pressured to keep up.

Additionally, it might be worth noting that I have decided to not use PF anymore. The toxicity found in PF was really detrimental to my mental health.
