Unless ofc you mean rezz specifcally the healer, but even then we would have weird stuff like "Why did you heal yourself healer? Your DoT was off for half a second!!! I had a rezz ready for you!"
    You realize what Weakness and Brink of Death are, right? Dead DPS means they'll be dealing 25% less damage for 2 minutes.
    In what way is 1 GCD from one player equal to what amounts to 12 GCDs from another player? That's without factoring in the loss of uptime that the DPS will have by dying, their combo breaking/loss of Enochian, the fact that they need to resummon Carbuncle/reapply Huton/have lost their Song/Dance until the next one is up, and have lost all of their Dragon Gauge+Firstmind's Focus/Polyglot/Sen+Kenki+Meditation/White+Black Mana/Ninki/Song Gauge+Soul Voice Gauge/Soul+Shroud Gauge/Heat+Battery Gauge/Fourfold Feathers.
    If you're somehow dealing 12x the damage of a DPS in a synced party AS A HEALER then you should just vote dismiss the DPS.

    Then my first argument triggers that it's false hope. Just imagine everyone with Brink of Death and dealing so low DPS that despite doing perfect, after dieing of course, they trigger enrage. What is the reason in this? People will just reset because "we will do too little dps" which already happens. What sense does having more rezzes have then if not a negative?

    Will put you on ignore if you can't form a logical argument but argue nonetheless
