We all seen a tank or healer go splat several times because someone was greedy to not look their gaze to the wall.
    That’s really not what they are asking

    They are asking about your opinions on “selfish mechanics” like energy drain

    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

    I do think there is somewhat a similar mindset at play though, it's just the greeding mechanic is on the content itself there, and is something everyone has to deal with.

    The DPS classes encourage doing this sort of thing and also make mistakes all the time, but again, the party doesn't feel the penalty for it as quickly or strongly compared tanks/healers, especially in casual.

    Maybe the tune could change a bit if enrage was easier to reach (i.e. less body checks, rezzes on a few more jobs, and better emergency tanking on some dps) while the dps checks were harsher? (or maybe that'll just cause more problems with the meta?)

    ED is variable, you still have plenty of options even if you used them up. Eat the fairy, all the good players do it anyway for ED or emergency stacks especially back when Living Dead needed 100%
