Please buff Second Wind

[Exiled_Tonberry]

Second wind is good enough for what it sets out to do. It's not supposed to be some reliable self heal, it's just a small safety net when maybe that one enemy that escaped the tank is on you or you screwed up and got hit by something before a raid wide, second wind can usually save you.

I'd still like a buff so I can solo FATEs easier. Or maybe even solo PotD on not-RDM someday. It really wouldn't hurt to have this little bit of extra survivability for DPS.

They need to buff Physick for SMN is well. The amount it heals compared to RDMs Vercure is ridiculously small.

there's no reason why melee DPS shouldn't have a bit more survival than they currently have(plus it makes the game more fun).

As melee you've got: Second Wind, Bloodbath, Arm's Lenght(the slow works great as mitigation for mobs and on bosses you got a healer) and Feint. SAM also has Third Eye and Merciful Eyes, MNK Fists and Riddle of Earth and NIN Shade Shift. That's a lot if you're talking soloing.

Heck, I've tanked reasonably sized trash pulls on NIN for a good while, after tank derped and died or just somehow couldn't keep aggro.

That said, even on the non-melee, nothing in solo content really lives long enough to be a threat if you're a DPS job and in group content you've got tanks and healers - your best defense is offense, that's kinda the point of this role in the trinity.
