That's not my yardstick for balanced, that's my answer to hysterical claims that an entire role has been removed from the game.

Now if your yardstick for role balance is "well one time these guys didn't use a healer so clearly the role is GONE" or comparing one WHM heal of many to one WAR heal of few while ALSO thinking that WHM should do the same damage with glare as a tank using a full damage rotation?

I mean we're just not gonna agree on some things.
I mean WAR is literally the best at everything right now (well second to GNB for damage but since you have 2 tanks anyway it doesn’t matter) DRK only passes it in hyper optimised groups that specifically use a DNC to buff its two minute window which is incredibly niche. Otherwise it used to be DRK for damage WAR for sustain, now WAR just gets both

And I don’t mean healers habe literally been removed from the game, I mean tanks have all but superseded the need for healers in casual content and the need for single target tank healing in savage

What if you got a WHM and their holy just infinitely stunned the mobs, or kardia healed you for 1000 potency per hit so you never had to mitigate outside of a TB, having another role so your job for you simply isn’t fun at all
