What are you asking for here exactly? Go do hard content that requires healers to heal. Or don't, not my buisness. Thread is full of people who only do easy content complaining that it is easy. Do hard content then.

I did some savage and was still spamming the one damage button most of the time. Where do I get to use GCD heals?

I think my "Be careful what you wish for" still stands. Those duties, granted during a period where people had less to their kit, were a result of people asking for challenges.

I know sure as heck I on war cannot keep 2 let alone 3 dps alive if the healer dies/is not in duty, and that's me knowing my kit. I can maybe do it on pld, but that's reliant on dps not standing in bad multiple times, and I am more skilled in Pld than I am on War.

Yes I admit that some content could be more challanging now, but not to the extent that a tank's kit needs to be nerfed.

Yes Xeno said he was sloppy on that run, but him sloppy on that run, he still is skilled. If I was sloppy on that run, people would die.

Let's be real there's like no healer main streamers so they obviously don't care. To them this is content to consume and entertain their audience we won't get anything interesting out of them for the conversation. YouTubers are different ones who discuss the game will probably have far more of an actual opinion and points.
It's just the differences in the hustle.

You can learn to play warrior and become immortal in dungeons within an hour or two. Literally it's just cycling cooldowns something you should know as a tank by level 90 it's really not that hard.

Aitherea is a healer main and she made an interesting video imo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI_z9yVIvZY

Xeno has played MMOs for years so he is still skilled even without his usual gaming mouse and keybinds.

That said I imagine Healer spec might be more engaging if they had WAR/BLU kit of very few but powerful Healing options and the rest is all DPS/Utility.

BLU has only 8-10 healing actions and the rest is just DPS or Utility.

Warrior has even less then BLU and both make for great and versatile Jobs that fit an All-Purpose Neapolitan Role that can do it all.

I've told so many healer mains and tank mains which are bored to play blu. It's literally support with mechanics.
If anyone wants to still heal but wants to go on the healer strike play blu healer instead and run old hard content, you'll have so much fun. Even if it takes a while to get your blu levelling and skill acquisition done it's worth it.

One is a limited job that gets a healer spec, other is a TANK.

A DRK main here.


I was reading the thread, My personal impression as a tank main, at least, is that some complaints are certainly valid, Especially, the WAR one. War is far too busted in the self sustain department, and I wish either for a hefty nerf or DRK to be buffed. How they achieve it, I don't care. I just want the level to be equalised a little as I feel DRK being a tad frail when it comes to certain content, which is probably something healer mains approve of? Appreciate, I guess? As we give them some work to do, or not. Who knows. I don't know the other side that well to call a judgement.


Anyway, I got the impression from some people here in the thread that dungeons are basically brain dead content and two or three heals see any tank through. With the consequence that they have barely any work to do and barely have to sue their full healing kit, which is why the healers call now for a damage increase to make them relevant again or an actual DPS rotation worth its salt.


Granted, I don't know how these people run their content. And granted I am a casual here and basically dungeon peasant, which I find fun to run, but these views don't align with my experience.


At least, from my impression, some healers have quite a hard time. One, two or three heals and some mitigation don't cut it. It can be quite sticky at times. And from time to time, I bite the dust for being a bit too eager.


I might be wrong here, but I don't get the impression from a tank perspective like there is nothing to do for healers despite the claims dungeons being brain dead content. It runs counter to my experience.


Even in lower level dungeons, which I enjoy honestly at times with how hectic they can be. Especially, with some sproutier parties. Like Satasha. Brayflox. Quarn. Cutters Cry. Stone Vigil. Darkhold. Aurum.


But as said, I am a tank. I can only relate my side. I don't know the healer side. That is why I wonder, am I wrong and a bad player or are the healers here in the thread just better skill wise or do they have a different experience? I frankly don't know.

Harrowing hell and jwaves for sure. Pretty normal in Wroth flames. Generally some in DKT's mechs too. WC2. Friction I guess? Probably a good idea in downtime too, like the end of wormhole. Have you done any of these mechanics?
