If this is the case, why can’t we just do roulette with 3 dps instead? If you are going to have a healer role, make them crucial for success.

Is the logic that, they are afraid of giving healer too much pressure (“if you die, we all die!”)? So that if a healer dies it’s not that big a deal?

The solution is make damage hit hard enough that you can -at best- maybe skirt by about 10-20% of a boss hp bar without a healer. And just give other jobs raise abilities, even if it has a really really long cooldown. He’ll give bard/dancer/mech a 5 min cooldown raise even. Let the healer die, but make it crucial to get them back up.

Some dungeons have bosses hard enough to need a healer..but most do not. Most non dungeon content doesn’t even need a healer (like deep dungeon).

So, why is that?
As is, if the tank goes down, you can kinda survive until they get raised, but it’s hard to do 80% of a boss without one. Why not the same for a healer?
Soooo this. Just goes to show the roles redundant at this point.
