Tank balance and what CBU3 wants to do with job balance

[dspguy]

I kind of agree with this.

WAR being able to heal other party members MAKES NO SENSE. No part of its class fantasy is "healer". It SHOULD have decent sustain, but as you say, reducing/shielding incoming damage (largely to itself) should be how that works.

So, the "complaint" about Nascent Flash is something that every tank sort of has. They all have a "shield someone else" ability. WAR's Nascent Flash has a very small shield followed with a bloodbath type ability. DRK can put that shield on anyone. PLD and GNB have similar abilities. In my opinion, it boils down to giving an OT something to do in a raid situation when they don't need any of their own mitigation. Personally, I like to use Nascent Flash on the healer especially if we have no DPS that can raise. In some cases, it make a lot more sense to protect the healer. Tanks have so many ways to mitigate damage, if the healer is any sort of danger, I'd rather make sure they survive because a tank/healer can survive long enough to raise the rest of the party if necessary.
