Any point to bringing a healer in Rathalos EX?

[Risvertasashi]

A tank could probably work their way in as their DPS isn't *that* far below DPS jobs, they have utility like shields, and tank CDs are pretty powerful.

But healer DPS is pretty terribad. And with no spell-based rezzing and an anti-magic-healing debuff...

Is this going to be a DPS+tank party? :/

It'll probably be best to just bring 4 dps.

[Risvertasashi]

Sigh. Well that's a disappointment. Finally get 4 person high end content and SE does this...

[Canadane]

It's a damage oriented game.
If people could do away with a tank and healer or two in any content, they absolutely would.

So really, this is to be expected.

And this is coming from a tank main.

This is how it's suppose to go down according to this post that I just saw:

[Canadane]

Yeah it's very exciting.
I can understand of you only have a healer levelled you might be worried, but that's motivation to either level and and learn a new class, or work on that healer dps!

We won't know how viable anything is until it's out though.

The struggles, not even a scholar barrier ( brought from aldo or succor) would help. I'm curious on exactly how long the debuff will last and whether the potions ( not just applying hp) will reduce the timer on the debuff. Just in case, I'll be sure to get my monk to level 70 if people start to leave healers behind.

Yet... somehow I doubt they adopted FF14 roles on the MHW side of the crossover.

or work on that healer dps!

The problem with this is healer DPS is crap even at the highest levels. There's simply no potential for it to come close to a proper DPS or even tank, no matter how much you work on it.

If the debuff is spell-based healing only, 4x warrior comps will probably still be a thing, and CDs generally will still have value. A bit different from "the majority of your kit now has no effect."

all I see s a nice big challenge to clear it with 4 healers

They vaguely mentioned something about hitting the head of Behemoth causing it to target you more, akin to a tank holding enmity here, so there's that.
