Random Query: The Trinity System

[Saccharin]

So the goal here is really just to have a (unlikely...but I'm trying anyways...) friendly discussion/musing on the Trinity System in this game.

While the trinity isn't perfect but it means you can have much more interesting encounters.

If you have no tank them you have to make sure bosses dont hit too hard and any damage can't be too frequent as you dont have a dedicated healer to mop up. There also can't be any type of dps check since you have to heal and tank yourself.

I miss support roles that aren't these pseudo hybrids. Would it work? I don't know. The game is designed that everyone can solo content in the open world, and I wouldn't want to lose out on that.

Support roles exist for the sake of support roles. A support role provides nothing original and just adds unneeded complexity.

If a support role adds a debuff then you need to tune the boss because of the debuff or it becomes too easy. Can't existing tanks have that as a cooldown? Maybe support could add some heals , well can't a healer do that.

Considering raids are 8 man it would mean losing one damage dealer so to make up for that, and more, the buffs would need to be huge.

The little support we have at the moment is more than enough. Bards songs are useful but in no way needed.
