Keep in mind that I'm on your side about other points made. I'm just trying to stress that choosing 'You can get through some story dungeons without a healer' is NOT an effective rallying cry. You think tanks are a thinly-played role now? Take away their agency to keep themselves alive in basic casual dungeons and you will reap the consequences.

Also, a lot of you aren't doing your cause any favors. For example: I've seen a couple of posts of people complaining that Summoners have Physik. Baffling.
That's the point, the DPS *dont* die so long as they are not standing in things. And even then, if you have a tank that can do a little off healing, that alone can keep up the DPS who do stand in things. You can see it in the Xeno video that started all this, whenever there's an unavoidable AoE there's an unbelievable amount of time for natural HP regen / incidental AoE heals like Phoenix to top people up.
