    Meanwhile the dungeon bosses are still difficult enough to where if you're a dps or healer you're not able to survive getting hit by 2 AoEs at once without mitigation, hell, 4th dungeon 3rd boss literally one shot me for failing another mechanic after I got 2 vuln stacks.

    Mind you, I'm not asking for a nerf to the boss damage, but jesus, why do tanks get baby mode mechanics while everyone else has to actually respect them? Doubly so because if the healer dies they can just solo the boss in its entirety (Unless you're DRK/maybe GNB)

    Genuinely when I play tank I just ignore the mechanics in casual content

    They can’t hurt me so why should I care

    It’s so stupid how little damage tanks take from mechanics in this game especially considering the things that should hurt them (autos and Tb’s) also barely do any damage

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    The second boss in the 97 dungeon, when it puts up those fences and does the rotating aoe, I just ran through it the opposite way it was going, vuln stacks up to 4 almost instantly, still had half my life and didn't care about anything else for the rest of the fight. It was funny and sad all at the same time.
