Tank mitigation should be balanced to dungeons

[Supersnow845]

I still haven’t seen anyone actually provide a reason why bloodwhetting needs to be per target rather than per GCD, it’s functionally how it works in raids and it’s also how the healing on holy circle works

Questions around if skills like shake it off and equilibrium are too strong for tank skills or not is a valid discussion but what is the remote justification for bloodwhetting being 4 benedictions on a 30 second CD

Would tank mains be happy if they changed bloodwhetting to once per GCD then gave dark mind Omni mitigation and half the CD of abyssal drain, I still feel like PLD and WAR are too strong from a healer perspective but I also understand tanks in general don’t like being entirely reliant on the healer so it is what it is

Some of them might say that "War could always do that" from Shadowbringers, or some even cite earlier in Stormblood when they added the 80% lifesteal to to Steel Cyclone while still having access to Bloodbath.

They conveniently leave out that Warriors with Nascent Flash had to pool offensive resources to spend into it to achieve good but still lesser healing values than Blood Whetting does now, or that your ability to use Steel Cyclone back to back in Stormblood was dependent on being in Tank Stance which again meant you were giving up offense in order to take advantage of built in sustain.

Not only were these limiting factors, they were exchanging offensive power for the ability to heal. Bloodbath was also an inferior self healing option compared to ShB Nascent Flash and especially double that for Bloodwhetting.

Bloodwhetting is stupid, and it shouldn't have been allowed beyond the first couple weeks of Endwalker. It was a mistake to leave it as it was. Should have ripped that bandage right off.
