Playing devils advocate here as this was originally my suggestion that was never designed to be taken ultra seriously

Question 1) why would it be such a detriment for tank and healer DPS to be flipped? Not saying I actually support this as a valid idea because like I said it was originally my brainfart but I have also not actually seen any actual refutation of it besides “just because healers are bad doesn’t mean you should make tanks bad as well” even though the root cause of healers being bad isn’t that they do less damage

Question 2) why is the question always “we need to think of other things to give the healers to make them feel like the tanks do.” And never “why are the tanks doing what the healers are supposed to do, why can’t we give healers back the healing and give tanks something interesting that isn’t the healers job?”


This circles back to an old point that I tend to bring up in most rank and healer forums, people seem adamant they don’t want tanks nerfed to to fix healers but nobody can ever provide a way to actually fix healers without nerfing the tanks that doesn’t amount to “make the healers do something completely different that isn’t healing so the tanks can continue to heal”
