What if Tanks were designed like Healers?

[Aravell]

And sure, one could counter that by saying "But AST is and always has been all about buffs as its identity, and everyone who picks up AST knows that", but by that token, SGE has always been about simple DPS kit and healing since it was introduced, and honestly, so has WHM - even when it had all of one more DoT than it has now in SB or had two and Cleric in HW and ARR, it was still "the simple Healer" even then...

Personally, I'm fine with SGE remaining as it is, SGE has never known any other iteration, there's no nostalgia, there is only current SGE, so leaving it as is is fine. If the dev team wants to eventually bring it up to match the other healers later on, then great.

I also don't think anyone has ever thought WHM was complex, it has always been the simple straightforward healer and that's fine, I think the reason people find WHM is unsatisfying right now is because there's no reason to use half of their kit. WHM certainly does need something more, but I'm not sure more DoTs is the correct answer.

I personally believe that SCH and AST suffer most from job design problems and WHM suffers most from fight design issues at the moment, but that's just what it looks like to me.
