Genuine question but other than dungeon 1. What current content is war soloing. Because having seen and done many of these dungeons. Including the expert. Its simply not possible without a healerThis talking point got repeated already? Damn, my watch must be slow. Anyway, here's my refutation of this.
And WAR soloing current content isn't, because...?
In much the same way that the mascot is part of the sports team.
I want you to sit in the corner and think about what you just said. "Healers aren't allowed to do more than one thing, because they're part of a team, but it's perfectly fine for tanks to solo dungeons."
And that's supposed to excuse tanks being OP, because...?
Not as fast as an actual third DPS job would. With tank self-sustain where it is, all you really need is an RDM or SMN plus any two other DPS jobs for an easy 1T3D fast run. Literally the only reason to bring a healer is because the DF roulette forces you to.
I have become convinced that the anti-strikers are people who were tragically born without a sense of self-awareness.
You: "I figure if you want to dps, then play a dps."
Also you: "This protest frankly does harm not only to those who are trying to play and causing queues to be high"
Pick one already.
Yes, we're "elitist" because we want gameplay more engaging than mashing one button over and over. Yep, that's totally a reasonable conclusion that a reasonable person of reasonable intelligence could reasonably draw from the arguments presented.
What an odd way to end a rant about how we all have "god complexes" and "egotism." If it isn't that serious, why'd you get so worked up about it? Appeal to Triviality is a sword that cuts both ways.
Alexandria and strayborough deadwalk are super easy to solo on tanks because they have near no unavoidable damage and they don’t tend to overlap AOE’s, you just tend to die to getting hit a second time with a vuln stack on a healer/DPS, whereas the tank can take about 7 so that isn’t an issue to them
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 ex dungeon with the insane first boss? The one that's basically no melee uptime and 99% of people are deing in and even demanding a nerf. If war are soloing this; which I again would want to see evidence of because those doll ads do ridiculous damage and when I go in on war I'm low hp after just the first pull. Then that's taking some insane high skill teams to pull off. U know. Even tanks can be made useless if u shield a rpr enough. Does that give a mandate for a tank strike now XDAlexandria and strayborough deadwalk are super easy to solo on tanks because they have near no unavoidable damage and they don’t tend to overlap AOE’s, you just tend to die to getting hit a second time with a vuln stack on a healer/DPS, whereas the tank can take about 7 so that isn’t an issue to them
People want that “nerfed” because the adds hitboxes are terrible. There is 10,000 of them and if you get hit by one you can’t do anything for 15 seconds. There isn’t really much damage that actually goes out in that fightThe ex dungeon with the insane first boss?

I’ve never died to that boss on PCT and I haven’t seen almost anyone else die to it either, people just hate you are constantly hit with 15 second silence/pacification
