Its exactly like every DRK thought.

Let's stop pretending that dungeons do not exist.
If your job does terrible in a dungeon, it is not fun. For you or anyone else in the dungeon with you.
"Yes but what matters is savage and ultimates" hell no. Not everyone bothers with that.
Dungeon is the vast majority of the game's content mind you, so yes a job should at least be fun to play and effective there before considering how effective they are in high difficulty content.

Dungeons do exist, they just don't matter.

They don't matter because you can easily out-gear them. If you're at the max gear sync and still having problems then that is on the player, not the Job and you're only blaming the Job because you are bad.

The only reason dungeons are the majority of the content is because people run them for Tomestones. That's it, that's the only reason.

Also, if you did bother with the actually difficult content then you would know that things that matter in dungeons don't matter nearly as much in raids.

Like tank self-sustain.

Tank self healing isn't that important in raids because you either take a big tank buster and healers bomb you with heals and the self healing you just did is over-healing and useless (congrats) or you take a raid-wide AoE that does like 10% damage to you but 60 to 70% damage to healers.

In Savage raids most of my TBNs would go to the healers because I didn't need it.

Most the dungeons are tied to the main story, which we all play repeatedly, whether you like it or not.

And, only a small portion of this games player base actually touches end game content too.

Makes no sense to tailor the game to the small minority at the expense of the majority, balance has to be found.

I'm not sure which dungeon broke your heart my friend, but they are and always will be a vitally important aspect to the game and every job should feel/perform well within them really.

LD needs a visual aesthetic to signal to healers that LD is still active instead of counting on them to pay attention to your buff/debuff while mechanics are still happening. Not to mention LD’s mechanic is placed on the job with the lowest self sustain out of all of them while sage may have the worst compatibility with DRK.
Give DRK self sustain instead of trying to turn it into dps-lite. GNB feels more DPS than what ever’s going on with DRK.

I would make the counter argument, that the vast majority of this games community, does not wish to see FFXIV turn into World of Warcraft.
