All DPS clears highlight a problem with encounter design in ShB

[Recon1o6]

As just seen in the has anybody quit healing thread, E4s is now doable without a healer. Now excuse me, but that shouldn't be possible until we are at level 90. Not 80 in the next tier!

sure, summoners and paladins are horrendously overpowered (especially paladin, so much content they can solo) but this is just ridiculous

Casual content is far too easy now. I went in orbonne yesterday and the unneccessary nerfs to thunder god were noticeable more than ever. Duskblade was failed by my group and did...15k damage? Even worse was the shadowblade bubbles. not just one pair of bubbles overlapped but two. So a 4 stack bleed.
Our whm solo healed it in 370 gear as the ast didn't cast anything other than malefic the entire raid apart from a single helios at the start

Remember Sephirot ex? Nidhogg normal? Tsuki nm? All fights where the healers had to put work in, and two of those fights were touted as being hard but fun across all roles because they had mechanics you had to heal for and still had nice periods to do damage

Actually, what they are demonstrating is that E4S was doable without a healer before 5.2. That is a Chinese clear. Look at their HP. They're around i470.

Frankly, we need to get rid of healers. Just have support build options, like summoner has a meaningful playstyle option. The healer-targeting mechanics can be adjusted to a transparently assessed support index, just like we have enmity.

Feels like it is almost there. Give couple of healing cooldowns to each DPS and you are set since healers almost don't do any GCD healing anymore :/

"It's probably summoners, like the 1 healer Shiva."

"Oh look, it's 5 summoners."

When I saw Dancers get an aoe heal, SMN get an AOE heal I was pretty pissed.

What is the point of healers if everyone else in the game has decent healing / shielding on their own?

When it comes to AoE sustain, they should really halve their potencies and give it a 'healing received' bonus like Chakra.
But in the case of things like Everlasting Flight's regen effect, they could just make them unstackable.
