    Because the healers want things removed from the tanks that directly encroach on the healer role. The devs ripped out agro management from tanks and made them immortal melee DPS with training wheels. Losing what makes tanks tanks is not an excuse to then demand to basically take the healer role away from the healers

    I want excessive healing removed from the tanks BECAUSE I want the tanks to be given utility that DOESNT encroach on the healer role. Cover is a fantastic skill, shareable TBN is another fantastic skill, intervention and HOS before the healing upgrades are great skills. The tanks raidwide utility (minus the excessive healing on SIO) are good skills. I’m also a fan of adding other utility such as a sort of cover equivalent that pulls debuffs off other players. Imagine if a DPS got a spicy DOT and you could pull it off them and tank it with your better HP. Covalence like skills where you can pass healing through you and amplify it is another avenue I’d like to explore

    I don’t want the tanks healing to be removed so they can suffer, I want it to be replaced with tank specific utility that doesn’t encroach on the healer role. I truly don’t understand how people see the tank being 80% of the healer role and see the healer role rotting in the corner and go “okay guys we can’t touch the tanks while trying to fix this problem”, if you tank fantasy is huge AOE healing and healing other party members then are you really a tank or are you just lamenting the healer role is garbage by playing a role that’s more fun to heal on than the healers.

    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
