I should not have to, but i will explain myself because this type of argument is getting boring..

What is being said, is twofold:

1) The healing problem in FFXIV goes way beyond just tanks being able to heal themselves, and focusing exclusively on that like many posters here, is silly.

2) Like you said yourself at the moment we are little more than blue DPS with a lot of self-sustain, and that self-sustain is literally the only thing that makes us feel like the resilent chonkers we are supposed to be.

If that has to be removed for the sake of healers, then it is only fair that further tank oriented changes /redesigns happen so that tanks can recover our chonky resilient defensive class fantasy, and the FEAR is that they are going to do nothing of such.

We are not saying :

"screw the healers, leave us as is and healers be darned"

We are saying:

"If you guys are coming for our self healing this better come with something in exchange to make up for it and make tanks feel the way they should again"

And i do not think i can be blamed for being extremely worried about Squenix halfassing the solution because there are a lot of precedents of it.

And because this game is entirely based around DPS and not the defense that tanks are meant to represent, so i do not see them changing that anytime soon.

So what are we to do, just become pure and LITERAL blue DPS so healers have more fun? Is that what you want? I do not think that is fair either lmao.
