The arrogance of some people

[Alahra]

However, they've stated that they do not take Healer DPS in to consideration with their tuning. They do, however, consider Tank DPS.

My point was that they screwed up. Yoshi-P admitted that they overtuned them, which means that sources of DPS they don't normally consider are required for Savage. That includes both STR-tank DPS (since they presumably balance around Fending accessories) and Healer DPS.

It's important to remember that Yoshi is not on the battle content design team: he oversees that team as producer, but the actual design and tuning of the content falls to other people. So when he states the general design philosophy, it's still entirely possible for the team to make mistakes that run counter to that philosophy, which seems to have happened with Savage.
