How would you solve the boring "damage rotation" of the healers?

You're not wrong. I was just saying...

Fair enough.

I think the thing to keep in mind is that no two Jobs will ever be identical. SGE and SCH are probably the closest in the game (in terms of damage), but Pneuma/Plegma/Toxicon and Ruin2/Energy Drain are still not the same. Or of one prefers WHM/AST, Dia and Combust are different, Gravity and Holy are different, Earthly Star and Assize are different, and PoM and...what, Astrodyne?...are different, and Lilybell does no damage and isn't on the GCD. When people are saying comparable to, they don't mean an exact copy of (so I've been told).

Honestly, I'm not sure a lot of people ARE asking for additions to WAR. I mean, when you give them a multiple choice survey, they might pick something (unless there's a "none" option), but in general, most post on the Tank forum asking for changes to the Tanks are DRKs complaining about the state of DRK, and occasionally some (mostly content) GNBs asking for No Mercy to be extended so their burst fits properly. I don't see a lot of WARs posting they need anything at all, much less needing/wanting a DPS button. Right now, I actually don't see ANY threads in there asking for things about WAR other than one (I posted) asking if WAR or PLD was the easiest tank now. Aside from DRK complaints and a few PLD discussions after the 6.3 rework, most Tank threads are about a more general desire of people to have tank mechanics back, like boss positioning, threat, etc (and some people opposing those things).

Most of the WAR mentions are from DRKs complaining WAR is DRK but better in every way. I don't actually see any threads of WARs asking for "a little something extra"...do you? Maybe I just missed them somewhere. Again, when prodded for a survey (that doesn't have a "everything is fine" option), people will pick SOMEthing, but WARs aren't going out of their way asking for things right now as far as I can tell. Outside of a general desire for more tanking mechanics, that is.

Okay, comparing something like PotD – an instance where you can "level" from 0-60 in an hour or less – to the normal levelling experience is pointless.

Why would you ask a question if you're going to ignore the answer?

Did you read past the first line in my post where I talked about leveling dungeons, MSQ, etc? Apparently. Why bother asking a question if you're going to ignore the answer given and instead substitute it with a strawman of your own invention?

...

You know, it's funny, I don't bring up other people's various histories, generally because it's a combination of being a jerk, ad hominem/canard distractions, and/or you getting it wrong when one does so. For all the effort you guys go through, you still don't get a couple of those right - though I won't debunk you yet again here - and I'm trying to remember ever saying WHM in 6.0 was fine in terms of MP when I was constantly complaining about it because of how AST was an MP god at that time and WHM's GCDs all felt overcosted in terms of MP.

I'll have to find some old threads from then to see exactly what I said, but either you made that up or you have one HELL of a grudge against me to go digging that far back to find something to try to bust me over - or worse - to have remembered it all this time and been waiting for an opportunity to drop it.

But hey, I guess if you can't beat a person's arguments, you have to ad hominem and strawman, amirite? If you clearly aren't capable of defeating someone's arguments, you have no other choice, after all, then being a petty little man. Well, other than NOT doing that.

If all you have are snide comments - many of which aren't even right to begin with - then you should just stay out of the discussion, since clearly you can't add anything related to the topic itself.

My kingdom for a good faith discussion...
