Feelings on FF14's Trinity System?

[Supersnow845]

Because right now the biggest problem facing the support roles as a collective is tanks and healers disagreeing on how much agency the other role should have in keeping the tank healthy (healer damage options and oGCD bloat are seperate issues that are healer specific)

Healers lean towards wanting to have a purpose in keeping the tank alive and not just be functionally ignorable while tanks would rather have complete agency over whether they can keep themselves alive

The problem ultimately boils down to not wanting your job to basically be a subsidiary of another job you have to rely on to play semi competently to keep yourself alive

Replacing tank healing with active tank mitigation allows for both roles to unilaterally force competence at the expense of the other role by dropping your own damage (healers can already do this with GCD healing) but coordination allows for both roles to do more

Thanks shouldn’t incidentally create their own survival agency just by pressing the buttons they were already going to press anyway

Let's be honest, as a DPS player I'm completely dependent of my healer(s) to do their job and heal me. Why would tanks be exempt of this? Tanks are the most frustrating spectacle to watch those days: they can eat shit forever, break records in vuln/damage down stacks because nothing can kill them but body checks, and they can heal back up on their own (depending on the tank). They even burst better than half the DPS roster, it's ludicrous.
