    It doesn't even need to be a hard enrage. Perhaps every time a boss loops back on its mechanics to cycle through again it gets a damage up. Or it could just be a simple timer that accounts for things like player deaths etc to make it fair for less experienced players, players with accessibility issues, or players who are leveling classes they can't play (I hate blm reeeeee but I gotta level it). Additionally, it could body check and when it sees that fewer than 3 players have been alive for a minute, an enrage procs. Lots of solutions here that won't affect players w/ accessibility issues.

    I haven't been in a situation where I've seen a tank solo a boss down from full or whatever, but it seems like an enrage would fix that. Thoughts?
    Absolutely not.
    Why do i as a tank who did things correctly get punished for my party's failure to execute simple mechanics and incompetence?

    Because in 9999 out of 10000 of these situations the tank wasn’t a flawless god with incompetent party members they were shielded from dying to something that would kill anyone else because of their ridiculous defensive capabilities

    If every avoidable hit in the game gave twice come ruin we’d see how “talented” tanks are over the other roles

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    Have you played an MMO before? You succeed or fail as a group brewski. I am a tank main and even I understand this much. You might be new to the game though or came here for the RP so I'll explain for you:

    Unless you can queue solo into a duty and complete it by yourself, you need other people there to beat it with you. That means that everyone has to carry their own weight, and it also means that when you pug with randos who aren't very good you have to either leave, or deal with it like every other grown adult has to. This is a core tenant of MMO's. There is a social aspect to it. If you wanna play a solo JRPG then go check one of the thousand "I'm quitting wahh" threads and see what your options are
