Making Jobs Rotationally Easier in 4.0

[Reynhart]

And healers can be carried through fights without casting a single heal.

Yet it's not a problem for you that a WAR wouldn't need any healing against a dungeon boss...and the tank is not the only one to take damage during a fight.

DPS can be carried through fights without dealing any damage.

Of course, because we all know how mitigating damage is a great way to deal with DPS checks.

Using that as a bar to measure the design of a job is foolish.

No, it's not. Alex NM is the best time to force people to improve on their job. You can't make everything faceroll, then kick everyone's butt when they enter savage. It's called a learning curve.

Again, those changes are not being made because of the tanks that could perform their jobs well. They're being made because of all the tanks who couldn't. So, when you discuss changes, that's the perspective that must be taken.

Actually, this is just speculation. They mentioned a change in job rotation, but as far as we know, they mostly talk about DPS skills, like Enochian and Blood of the Dragon.

As Brannigan pointed out, you and the people on your side of the argument are being dumb. You can't raise the skill floor on the job when the skill floor is already too high for the overwhelming majority of people.

Yes, you can, you raise the skill floor on content that asks no skill at all...why is a tank supposed to learn anything when he can pass A11 with just spamming RoH ?

That's just not true. If every job could do 2000 DPS by pressing 1 button, then a lot more people would clear hard content. If every tank had on demand hallowed ground for every tank buster, then a lot more people would clear hard content. If healers had a surplus of infinite range instant AoE healing / shielding, then a lot more people would clear hard content.

Then it wouldn't be hard content now, would it ?
