Tank healing is to high

[Shalan]

Woah I need some links showing teams running 2 tank 6 DPS in Extremes and raids. Even if they somehow are, is it more optimal than running a normal team or just barely doable? Also last I checked most teams aren't even running WAR or PLD. They're mostly running DRK and GNB.

Both were cleared within two weeks of the expansion's official launch. Each run takes about 10 mins (one 9 mins, the other 11). There's just not enough unavoidable damage going out in current content, and what little that is going out is spaced out enough you don't need a healer to survive it.
It's been the talk of the Healer section for a few days now.

That logic goes both ways though, why should the rest suffer because the healer can't keep up? They also feel irrelevant when the healer dies, now there's less scrutiny towards healers which should be a positive.

It would be a positive if it wasn't for the fact that healers have almost nothing to do when they're not healing. If you're not healing your only other option is to DPS and your DPS is just spamming one button over and over and refreshing a dot every 30 seconds. It just gets old after a while, especially since your DPS rotation doesn't change at all since you get it at level 1.

I wouldn't mind less scrutiny or the team relying on healers to survive if I had more to do as a healer. As it stands now though, the team relying on me is all I've got left. You take that, you might as well not have any healers.
