You wouldn't have more to heal in P1N or even P1S if Bloodwhetting didn't exist. We know this because, hilariously, the speed meta is actually double Dark Knight—the tank with zero sustain. What needs to be addressed is the one button spam "rotation" healers have. Taking away tank healing won't accomplish that.



This isn't unique to Endwalker though. Xeno used to do "Man-modes" all the way back in Heavensward. Tankcob was a thing before Warrior had Bloodwhetting. And you're ignoring those all Warrior savage comps were with fully BiS players, 99% players who barely killed it before enrage.

It's all entirely irrelevant for the reasons I stated above. Delete Bloodwhetting, Aurora, Clemency, Corundum and Equilibrium and what happens? Tanks can't solo Normal modes nobody cares about and Healers remain bored spamming Glare/Malefic/Broil/Dosis because the outgoing damage is still laughable. All you've accomplished in this scenario is reducing tank gameplay and nothing else. Healers aren't healing more in Savage if Bloodwhetting didn't exist. Top groups don't even want Warrior because it's damage sucks relative to Dark Knight. The biggest irony is come 6.1, if LD is properly fixed, Warrior and Paladin will be reduced to prog tanks and abandoned instantly thereafter at the higher levels. They're self-sustain doesn't matter because the outgoing damage is pitiful.
But wouldn’t healers be healing more in say, dungeon pulls of said tools got taken away. Not really advocating for either side but i’m curious on their thought process on if they knew already things like dungeon pulls were easy to heal, why continue to give tools that make it even more irrelevant. As it is Warrior can basically solo heal dungeon pulls. I don’t remember it being like that in ShB but maybe i was out of the loop
