    And that's the problem. Dumbing down a role to where there is now little performance gap to maining it will ultimately lead to fewer people maining it once the honeymoon period is over.

    If the definition of being OP in FFXIV is having a surplus of what is required to perform your role, then healers also fall under that category.
    No, I simply compared its combined passive mitigation, active mitigation, healing, and damage against previous expansions. If those were each balanced, then to now have an extra third the healing and mitigation (and double the passive miti compared to StB) and an extra quarter the damage would be, yes, likely overpowered.

    That tanks have heals is fine. That tanks have ally-targetable heals is fine. That tanks have 30 to 70% the healing of a healer atop so much passive mitigation atop more damage than healers that spend not a single offensive GCD... is not. There was no need to just throw added capacity at tanks, all while reducing the skill required to optimize it, and there was every need to give tank mains more mechanics and some decent ceiling height to play with and towards.
