That results in the same level of balancing nightmare because now they have to account for less healer damage in encounters if they increase healing requirements. As for the impact in older content, I say that it's too far gone to be saved at this point. Look at how they never considered that buffing the Lily system skyrocketed WHM's damage in TEA, when they changed lilies to 20s instead of 30s and made Misery DPS neutral. Same with MNK and Masterful Blitz. These were substantial changes to how these jobs performed but content was never adjusted to account for them. The old content can't be saved. Newer ones can.

You do know that if the item lvl you have is 100 higher then the synced ilvl you get more stats when you take old bis for these fights ? Older content in general is trivialised if the over 80 deaths ucob is clear is a indicator.

If they equalized both tank and healer damage that would be a huge increase in damage across the board. Sure you cannot 100% save older content but making it far more trivial is not the answer either.

My point was that SE doesn't give a damn about older content being trivialized. Between potency adjustments, poor ilvl synch, retroactively adding in new skills and systems, etc. the only way to save it at all would be an entire rework of the game from the ground up at this point, which isn't going to happen. Would it be nice if they did? Sure, but I'm not going to hold my breath on it either.
