What to manage as a tank?

[Supersnow845]

We're going in circle there.
If it is encouraged to remove healer but PF is so difficult to fill with healers, why don't those PF open to tanks instead?
That situation alone is a contradiction to your statement that the game encourages removal of healers.

You're just taking a gimmick clear out of proportions.
And no, I did not said Tanks can't be replaced. I just said there was more responsibilities. You can remove a tank by stacking mitigation on DPS or letting the tank die then ressing them.
But that's so much hassle no one does this. Like with healers.




Yes??? Weren't you the one arguing about my experience about tanks in other games?
Are you aware of the most iconic abilities of Paladins in DND, Warcraft or Baldur's gate?

If I say "Lay on hands" the first thing that should spring to your mind is a Paladin.

Because I said it’s optimal to remove them in casual content and that is extremely common, ever tried to join as a healer to farm runs of things like moogle tomestone events. Even in casual DF content healers survive by nature of DF not letting you queue without a healer

And yes we are going in circles because (I’m not attacking here) you won’t answer my question. You keep saying “oh but this” “oh but that” but you won’t say whether you would feel good about your role functionally being only present because the party isn’t good enough to dump it off. thats the state healers are in now. You can say “oh but most people aren’t good enough to remove them” but you won’t answer if you would feel good about every tier people celebrating clearing the games hardest fights without you, being less efficient at your own role than another role in half the games content and surviving due to average player talent being low

Simply answer me that. If your favourite role was an enforced burden on the party in casual content and a victim of player induced necessity in high end content would you like that? Would you feel your role is impactful? Would you feel like your WOL who is meant to be the strongest was adequately represented in your job?

Because right now healers don’t and our jobs aren’t even fun to play while we deal with this problem
