Dungeons are the skill floor

Skill floor is being able to do the primary job you're signing up for: healing and keeping your subject(s) alive. To do more than just that means you're already going above your skill floor. Today's ceiling is being able to spam your 1 nuke button ad nauseam (75% - 95% of time), and maybe throw in your other non-healing button if you feel like to (which we either lacking or have no need to, or combination of both), while fulfilling your primary duty to heal (less than 10%, if you're with a WAR then maybe 1-3% lmao).

Well said.

The ironic thing is, the first comment still points out that even the uh "shit players" (their words not mine) notice how bad the role is.

Play savage/ultimate and say the role is boring: "But poor Johnny Casual can't play the dungeons if you give him extra DPS spells he can ignore if he struggles to heal!"

Play casual content and say the role is boring: "You should go play ultimate, dungeons don't matter, ignore that we still have to press Glare for 60-80% of the fight."

It's a never ending cycle that can't be won and shifts the goal posts.

Yep. Many players don't want the status quo changed because it would mean their jobs would be reined in. So, they do put out these nonsensical "gotcha" posts which have nothing to do with the topic at hand.
