Dawntrail's mediatour dungeon was already cleared without healers.

[KageTokage]

It's a dungeon, they're designed to be easy. Practically any dungeon in the game can be cleared day 1 without a healer, especially with a warrior tanking, so why would you expect Dawntrail to suddenly be different? I'd love if dungeons were more difficult but I'm not going to get upset and set myself up for disappointment when I already know the expansion isn't doing anything new with them. Maybe 8.0, but expect the same type of gameplay seen in Endwalker in Dawntrail.

It's not like healers are going to be stuck without being able to dungeons because everyone wants a third DPS. Most people run dungeons through the duty finder with randoms and that forces the typical party composition. If your friends are going to exclude you from content because you play a healer, then they're probably not very good friends to begin with.

I think this might be the only game where the difficulty has steadily gone down over time as the expansions progress because the incoming damage in dungeons has remained proportionally static while the mitigation/healing cooldowns keep getting more bloated.

It's really not asking much to be pressured into having to actually use your entire kit in normal mode content.

I was promised Enhanced Encounter design, this is more of the same.
I didn't actually expect anything different though.

Yeah for Extreme and Savages. Dungeons are unfortunately designed for those that don't like having to think.

It's why I'd like to see a big overhaul with how combat and jobs are designed, however they already said that won't be in DT so I wasn't going to get my hopes up.

They kind of built themselves into a corner with most jobs where all they can really do is add bigger damage numbers or stronger buffs. Even in the current state, they're scared to challenge players in casual content because of the few that hate even having a single wipe so everything boils down to "Tankbuster, Raidwide, Move out of AoE, Stack Marker," repeat. The few fights that do something new don't punish you for failure, you just take a bit of damage and maybe a stack of Vulnerability.

Damn I don't remember Yoshida saying that in the quote. Do you know him personally?

Yes, we have tea every other Sunday. Would you like me to get an autograph for you?

This is ridiculous this hasn't been addressed yet. Isn't there a lot of noise on the Japanese community? I say that because it seems for the most part it takes them in an uproar before SE even listens...

Nerf warrior healing and increase damage of the group content. I don't think there is a need to balance all the tanks but maybe I am wrong.

I didn't hear any Scholar mains complaining about Expedient getting a 10 second nerf on the movement part, even though it really isn't that bad how it was originally.

Yet anyone that suggest Warrior needs some nerfs, Warrior mains completely lose their minds.

Well, seeing how Warriors put themselves on the winners pedistal when it comes to tanks, ofc they don't wanna get nerfed so they get on the same level as the other "lesser" tanks.

Probably because those are two totally unrelated abilities. When warrior nerfs get suggested, they're usually in regards to its ability to keep itself alive via hp restoration. I would say this is nowhere near the same as "being able to run fast for an extra 10 seconds," but even then as someone who plays every job and does have warrior leveled specifically for dungeoning with randos, I could see why it should've been nerfed. I was shocked to see the devs double down. It was honestly strange to me.
And then you just have the sad, sad case of SCH players simply being used to disappointment. Like a beaten dog, they just accept it. As a former AST main, I understand where they are mentally, as a community. They're probably glad they got to keep the skill at all. It's sad.

As a warrior and paladin enjoyer I wholeheartedly am in the camp of nerfing the hell out of tank self-sustain and putting the responsibility back on healers to heal. They might even have to cast a couple GCD heals in a dungeon or something.

It's design for peeps who doesnt have time to play 6-10 hours per day of ff14. Only 1-2 hours gamers. Dungeons are fine. If peeps goes crazy for dungeons then do harder content, aka extremes or savages. There be a timers,enrages and how to play good. Biggest issues with content is small party arent good enough to be rewarded. Like criterion, it's ass rewards but if try it's hella fun. SE need to fix that. I'll bet the game will be healthier or peeps complains about it.
