Would tanks be okay if SE swapped the damage between tank and healers?

[Shurrikhan]

I too can present incoherent arguments resulting from a deliberate disuse of reading comprehension, but I'll spare you the example.

The problem of tanks having enough in-house healing to obviate the role of healer is not solved by turning tanks into healers and healers into DPS with party support. That is so bewilderingly ass-backwards it makes me wonder if you're only defending the notion as a gimmick.

Didn't you just say you'd spare the thread intentional disuse of reading comprehension?

No one suggested turning tanks into healers. The person you have quoted merely pointed out how they ALREADY frequently replace healers (because it's an rDPS gain at little to no added risk).

No, giving the role whose damage is actually hurt by doing their role a duly higher damage ceiling so that parties aren't so rewarded for replacing them would not make healers more interesting, but the OP didn't ask anything about that. It was instead, though more nicely worded, whether most tanks' egos would be too fragile to put the game's broader health ahead of feeding their own main character syndrome.

...I suspect we have the answer now.
