Healers are actually really popular in JP servers. Either way, this is a dumb take considering everyone knew they would add trusts to older content eventually regardless of whatever your opinion was about certain job roles.

Hey, whatever makes DPS players live's easier, right?

Speaking of dumb takes.

Some people will defend this game until the very end. For the most part I've been one of them over the years. But recent developments have basically shattered my view of the dev team. I've seen it all before in multiple MMOs. I just wish I'd have seen it sooner here I guess.

That's fair. I missed that bit. But even if my point doesn't apply to you, I will stand by it.

Like it or not it still relates to low level progression of roles and how the player base relates to group content. In my eyes it replaces a dissatisfied part of the player base, and to me it looks like an attempt to remove any weight they might have in the game. I will admit my wording was unnecessarily inflamatory, though. The state of hrothgar hairstyles is also getting to me. I am growing really frustrated with the devs as of late.

Indeed, healers in particular being the sore losers in that aspect. I am not sure if you've tried healing with thrusts but I will say its one of the most miserable experiences in this game. Group play with other player already feels very monotonous in terms of actual healing when nobody gets hit or makes mistakes, I can't imagine Trusts being an exhilarating experience when it comes to that, unless they program thrusts to make random mistakes from time to time.

Healing/Support the role that is supposed to thrive in group content, removing the need for the role for low level content feels like another nail on the coffin.
