#FFXIVTANKSTRIKE

Tanks are too strong making healers completely undervalued in the game.

The biggest offender is warrior.

The amount of heals and mitigation warrior has while pulling in dungeons & raids makes them wayy too strong.

As a paladin main (for a tank) I have observed far too many times how the novice network and various other sources have said that healers are completely pointless to have when a warrior is in a party.

If the balance is that far off, Warrior and all tanks need to be readjusted.

(This is partly a satire post but also partly serious.)

First!

I'll enter this strike, since I have a lvl 9x Gunbreaker.

Dry your eyes and just play the game.

Can't really complain. Just makes you feel bad for healers where they are effectively a DPS with 1 attack button and low potency.

#DPSSTRIKE
DPS Is so bad, Everything feels the same!!!
Play Tank and Heal until they give uniqueness back

this is just another healer strike thread
one for tanks did exist as satire because iirc one of the fights had been cleared with only healers

Yes and no. Warrior is definitely an outlier and can achieve ridiculous feats solo, but that's more of "warrior is a problem" and not "tanks are a problem."

Healer gameplay is just boring as shit generally, healers don't need to actually heal nine times out of ten and in their offtime they have a 2 button damage rotation.
That's only changed this expansion in some content, especially the raids, where the mechanics are way more aggressive which pushes healers to heal more. But I honestly would rather have mechanics be simpler and rotations be more complex.

(And yes I understand this is [partially] satire, but some of the healer complaints are valid and shouldn't just be dismissed because you don't play healer.)

I wasn't sure if this was a troll post or what but i can't lie i laughed hard when i saw this pop up on the forums.

Maybe make it auto-kick the healer if a WAR spawns?

Tank is in a state that is OP but also very boring.

Reworking tanks would require more then "just remove mit/self heal"

It doesn’t matter that WAR is invincible in dungeons when all the tanks are overpowered in dungeons.

To me it seems obvious that dungeons, like all duty roulette content, are deliberately made to be easy in the sense that they don’t require players to play their jobs properly. There’s no notable dps checks, no notable healing checks (unless other players are doing badly), and no notable mitigation checks. The end result is that if you haven’t played tank for a year then you’ll still probably do fine in a levelling roulette because you have more mitigation than you need. You only need to use some of your mitigation. But then when a tank player actually uses their mitigations properly the healer doesn’t need to be there at all.

This will always be the case unless the devs want to make it so people have to play their jobs properly to complete a duty roulette dungeon. But if they make it like that, then the WHM players that only use Cure 1 will start flaming their tanks. And then also more people will become intimidated of playing tank or healer in normal difficulty content.

It's perfectly possible to have content that doesn't require people to play their jobs optimally without making it so people don't have to play their jobs at all, or, perhaps worse, so that one role can make another an objective hindrance to the team.
