Tank mitigation should be balanced to dungeons

[Supersnow845]

This is why I've said in multiple threads, Healer's can focus more on cleansing for a start, then because of the fact all the tanks have sustain the content will be changed to reflect that. I mean we already have some previous dungeons getting reworked like Copperbell Mines and Thousand Maw Totorak, but yes it will take time to get everything reworked but that's just the state of the direction. Again, we have multiple dooms coming in dungeons at this point that require cleansing when before, you were lucky to see it in something like Sunken Temple of Qarn as a stage check. Going back to the content having to challenge all tanks even with their sustain, Healer's in general should be worked more to be like Sage in that offense=healing. They would have more offensive buttons to deal more damage and be active in general, instead of just spamming dia>glare>glare>glare and being bored all day.

I'm tired of the assumption that if all tanks had sustain in general, whether it's similar to WAR or god forbid they make all types of sustain unique but at least usable, that NOTHING in the game would change at all to accomodate that. If you're worried about destroying old content, we already do that by default, try running Satasha's at any point now vs remembering how it was in SB. It was probably even more different in ARR and HW too. That's not even a valid excuse anymore but hey, at least they're trying to fix old content piece by piece so who knows where everything will be in time anyway.

Meanwhile WAR is one of the few tanks that had actual really big issues, like unable to survive tankbusters in ARR, or doing not enough damage in P8S that you have to go GNB or DRK or you're trolling. PLD has it's own issues but I don't see any of them whining about WAR. The only reason WAR gets unbalanced is DRK and rarely GNB it seems want to just try to drag WAR down when they should try to bring themselves up. So by extension, WAR gets buffs when there's actual problems that get addressed while the others don't because they don't address their own stuff enough. WAR is fun, and whether or not you like WAR, asking for nerfs ain't going to go well.

When we have to wait for the bald man to fix DRK's Living Dead by spotlighting how bad it is when he isn't even a DRK main, that's pretty gruesome.

Restructuring 8 seperate jobs and having to tweak 5 expansions worth of old content because 1 class can’t handle a nerf is a massive problem, nobody thinks that the content wouldn’t change, I am saying that changing all that content rather than just nerfing WAR is a totally unrealistic expectation

Have you ever stopped to consider that healers may not want to be cleansers; I don’t want my entire role restructured because you don’t want your job to be nerfed, that’s essentially what you are asking for. The complete redesign of 7 other jobs to accomodate WAR’s OP self healing

Not sure why you are mentioning WAR having “legit issues”, you don’t hear AST mains going round demanding they be the best at everything and doing the tanks job for them because AST was damn near unplayable in 3.0

Yet they're already changing the content as is because things have changed. We don't have TP anymore. We don't have to keep Stone 1/2/3 on our hotbars or worry about attribute points and cross classing, or elemental resistances. Things have already changed, it's not that unrealistic. Especially if all jobs had a universal kit of sorts it can actually be planned around it instead of accommodating for DRK's lack of healing in dungeons, but then having to make sure we don't have a P8S incident again in higher content.

Healers in general would love to have more than three dps buttons that's for sure. I would love to see them be more active with the offensive healing which would also solve the problem of Cure bots. Cleansing is just something they can do that nobody else can, like tanks in general taking much less damage than anyone else, and DPS doing more damage in general than anyone else. They're already doing it with the dooms lately in dungeons, as I'll repeat over and over and over again. Just give them Erase at least on a shorter cooldown for some OGCD cleansing and maybe some more options so it's not too much of a pain. I shouldn't even have to bring this up here though considering this isn't a healing thread but there you go. Also can just use the same argument that WAR's don't want to lose their kit, but it's not valid because it's just so good. Let me know when Raw Intuition can res cheese Lahabrea's doom in UWU, or kill him faster than a Melee LB3, or allow tanks to aoe nuke like a Caster LB3.

If tanks are all fun, healers will have to get changed for the better given their horrible position at the moment. To suggest content wouldn't ever change going forward when an entire classline is getting changed is ridiculous. But hey, if we keep going in circles like this, WAR and PLD I guess will just be the only ones with proper sustain and have to help fix DRK and GNB as well since they would rather tear down others because it's simpler.
