How do we feel about tank damage right now?

I think you have kind of a wrong picture on how to obtain a 99 on healer dps, it's not that sort of magical unicorn of a parse as you make it look like. Yes, it's group effort and proper mitigation is a factor, but speaking of experience, you can still get a 99 with missing mitigation and lazy dps who don't know what second wind is. rip + I'm not quite sure what you mean with single digit healing? My Sch and me still both have about 10k hps on Titan sooooo....?


I mean... idk dude, that's the whole point of improving as a healer? Yell at your group to use their tools at hand so you can make the boss die faster? If not for highly optimized play, what should jobs be balanced for? Mediocre random button mash?
Don't get me wrong, I agree that most whms will never out-dps a tank, but that doesn't mean jobs and their capabilities should be balanced around these players, imo. And the fact that a good Whm CAN and WILL out-dps a tank is a problem that needs to be addressed by slightly buffing tank potencies.

I meant the healing percentage with single digits. There is difference between good high level play and absolutely optimized runs, and the classes probably shouldn't be tuned for those 99% parse outliers.

Jobs should be balanced about potencies and actual damage output regardless of player skill (or rather: perfect execution while still fulfiling their given role, aka healing and tanking) and therefore it's a matter of fact that whm is either too strong or tanks are too weak IF we all agree on "tanks should do more dps than healers".



and just a little addition: your statement is wrong tho. hps parses are super weird bc of rng crit memes, padded runs, dead ppl still clearing, weaknesses and so on, but I assure you that you can still hit green and even sometimes blue healing % while going for 99% damage.
