    You're asking for an Action RPG. FFXIV isn't really one.

    Personally I'm a fan of a team/party being required... although there are alternatives to the Holy Trinity that accomplish this, that's what the devs went with.

    But mostly Sumimi nailed it. There are games that do this, XIV just isn't that kind of game... It's a design decision to not have active blocking and parry, and instead you rely on tactical, timed use of cooldowns. It's not for everyone.
