DSR was just solo healed

It would absolutely be viable if they actually went through with their regen/barrier healer split and made one of each a requirement, what we got instead is the same we had before. Shields aren't even necessary if the rest of your party can find their mitigation buttons and you just heal everything with oGCDs as always... we totally needed that super important distinction between WHM/AST and SGE/SCH /s

But we know they won't. They went out of their way to remove the need for any job to be required to clear content long ago, leaving the only metric of judging a class' value is how much damage it does/utility it has.

Shields used to be required for mechanics but they removed on demand shields from WHM and AST so shield mechanics went the way of the dodo because it would make SCH/SGE required to clear and SE is too afraid of that happening. So, we're just stuck with the same bland mechanics until either SE decides to grow a pair again or the servers shut down.

The only decent esuna mechanic we had was tea slush and that was always at the same time/spot. Shiva had a esuna mechanic even less he interesting because it was on the same role all the time. Like heal mechanics since stormblood are heal 100 % or die. The only time they had some interesting healing was O12s Final when a random dps had short Stack Timer and would be dead eating both with no shields or heals.
