Tanks need more than just TankBusters

Yan auto attacks hitting for 65k each aren't enough?

They are basically the only enemies that do hit enough

Every boss should use yans as a baseline not as the pinnacle we achieve once per expansion

In fact, even dungeon bosses should, seeing how like raid bosses they're not autoattacking but casting their stuff most of the time, anyways. At least make the few autoattacks they do actually hurt!

but how would the average cure spamming white mage player keep up with so much boss damage

The answer is simply that they shouldn’t.

We are at the point where multiple aspects of the game are coming apart at the seams simply because the game doesn’t allow players to fail which makes the game utterly boring for everyone that clears the low standard for not being one of the ones that game protects from failing which in turn encourages lethargic gameplay in people who want to play properly

Take a step back, ignoring how conditioned we have all become to instantly answering “square would never let people fail” Is it really healthy for the average playerbase to protect someone who won’t engage beyond their level FOUR kit in level 100 content especially when it’s directly at the expense of players who WANT to use all 100 levels of their kit

There needs to be a basic level of expected competency, it simply isn’t healthy to externalise competency onto every other role so basically every role is self sufficient.

So, you are saying that real main WHM must still be stuck at wasting unused lillies just to get Afflatus Misery... you know, our "big DPS" button that you will only get one or two time by dungeon if you play without over healing.

i usually use the Lillies when a trash pack is almost dead just to get rid of them while still in combat.

And Harrowing Hell as the party wide equivalent

I didn't read the whole thread if this was already suggested but
Add "get behind me" mechanics where a healer or dps get targetted with lethal attacks that you the ttank need to intercept, not a tether, it would just hit the first target between the boss and his target. This would especially give off tanks something to do in normal content, where they kinda just sit there scratching their ass

Yeah this was pretty cool when the lasers in P12S did this, as people had to rotate around the boss and sort left/right for colors and get behind the tanks.
