    If you want a more complex rotation I don't see why playing a DPS or a tank isn't an option. If you want more complex healing that I could understand but wanting more complex DPS... what?

    Why do tanks get a more complex DPS rotation

    They are supports as well, all they need is riot blade spam and 30 ramparts to do their job

    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

    So why isn't playing a tank an option if it's filling the support role while having a more complex rotation? Seems like the issue is already solved. I mean we all know they're not going to be giving healers any more complexity (unless we think that they'd suddenly change their minds after 8 years of nuke and DoT mentality) so why not be realistic and just be a little happy? The thing you want is already in the game, just play it.

    Issue isn't solved because acting as the party shield isn't always the role I want to take. I enjoy tanking, but sometimes I want to play that supportive role of keeping people alive from the back as a magic job, but instead I end up pressing Glare 150 times and scarcely have to heal unless I have a team that can't stay out of the orange circles.

    I had fun when SCH had 4 DoTs and a spread ability for those DoTs. I don't have fun on SCH when I have only Broil to press for the next 30s. In what way is me playing PLD fixing the issue I have with SCH? I have more fun on PLD than SCH now, but it doesn't bring the playstyle I liked from SCH back.
