Suggestion for re-balancing four Healer jobs

This would exacerbate issues with Tank involvement in mitigating incoming damage. Lowering incoming damage further would cause more problems than it would solve. Unless incoming damage is vastly increased to get Tanks and Healers back to needing to care about their primary purpose, this will simply get rid of a healer.

Not against it per say, but in the current implementation it doesn't help.

How is it lowering incoming damage further?
SCH and AST already have shields, and damage resistance is canceled out by the use of shields, so it's not like they stack...
Actually I've just clocked what you mean, less damage via resistance means shields last longer.

They could make it so that damage resistance doesn't apply to shielded damage, only overflow damage or damage that directly hits the targets HP.

Or simply nerf shields by around 10% to account for the added resistance, they're already superior anyway.
