Fair enough. But really, DRK needs to be linked to a starting hub to get the most benefit out of that. Unless the plan is to make Ishgard into one post-restoration?

I don't think a convalescence buff really solves the underlying problems. It was still bad even when we had Convalescence. This is a five year old problem with a longstanding history of complaints behind it.

As an example, WAR has consistent access to a lot of self-healing with this patch, much moreso than anyone else. So if that's the 'theme' of the job, then make it job exclusive and build around it. We don't all need token self-heals on every tank. If DRK is going to focus on barriers, then we don't need token barrier shields on every job. Get the others to give that up in exchange. Otherwise you have four very similar tanks. The problem is that people get greedy and want everything that the others have +1. That was especially true for the past three expansions. Now that we have a level playing field with Shadowbringers, I think some negotiation is in order.
