TOP cleared with no healers

[MisterNublet]

Try this, go to Radz at Han, Limsa, and Gridania and fill the chat logs with shouts that TOP was cleared without healers, and see what kind of response you get.

And? This isn't some gotcha that you think it is. TOP is just another example showing how poor of a state the healer role is currently in and the state of utility among DPS/Tanks being too powerful.

They're not needed for casual/dungeon content. They're a snooze fest if your team is even halfway competent in Extreme/Savage content. They have their entire dps kit starting at level 4, and press the same button ~90% of the time.

No one wants to continue playing a role that's only function is to be there for garbage dps/tank players. That's not how you design a fun and interesting role.

What actually makes you think either of those will happen, other than wishful thinking?

There will be other MMOs coming out. I've also never seen or heard dps players or tank players fight to see who can be the healer for the next tier, as hard as I've seen healers fight over who can gtfo of the role.
