TBH I think they threw in the cleanse mechanics so healers have something to do since they were definitely not going to remove the healing down mechanic since they want you to use the potions like in MH. If you took that out healers would have nothing to do but to DPS which uh usually doesn't go over well.

Understandable, though personally, I wish they'd rebalance the fight to not include healers at all.
At least that would be honest from the start instead of being gimped for half the fight, watching helplessly as people die around you.

you can still help increase the Down meter.

You would be excluding players with no other jobs leveled from doing it though.

A better way would be a system where you would be "roleplaying" a hunter, and everyone gets a bunch of new skills more tailored to the content like dodge with a cooldown, the pots like now, and some damage skills. Everyone ends up having the same base abilities and maybe some extra ones depending on the role you are on like cleanse or block.

That would indeed be the best way to do it, putting everyone on equal footing, but I'm afraid that would not fit into the scope of a small promotional event anymore.
