I agree with you though, mostly. I just hate nerfs as a solution.

I also hate nerfs, but in this case, to warrant a healer, stuff would have to hit so much harder that a tank couldn't keep itself alive with its own heals. Which kind of defeats the purpose of them having heals in the first place. So just remove/nerf the heals helps solve a lot of that problem. It doesn't fix healing, which needs other things. Esuna should matter again. We used to have targeted damage going out to randoms on top of raidwides and tank busters. Tank busters used to be a lot harder to cheese.



We really just need a rework when it comes to encounter design, more so than job design, in some cases. But there's still other issues.
