    We've had real situation where WAR, PLD, MCH were barred from PF, this isn't one of them.

    95+% of the parties play with 2 healers, even in unsynch'd EX Farm where everyone's HP massively increased.
    That's a fact you can easily check yourself.

    Just think 2 seconds, healers and physical range are scarce, if tanks were strictly better and so broken they replace healers, then why isn't PF just replacing the healing slot with healers? The answer is simple, people value more a balanced composition than 4 tanks.
    You truly don’t see a problem with the mantra of “this is literally only a problem when PF shuts out healers”?

    Stop and think for a second, square moves at a literal glacial pace, let’s say this situation actually came to pass, square has shown they can’t turn on a dime to fix this, that entire tier at the absolute least will just block out healers and there is a good chance the tier after that will as well since they will already be deep in the design phase, it’s also likely that PF will start considering strats for any future tiers that could also do it if square doesn’t actually attack the root of the problem which we know they almost never do. Letting something get to the complete non functional stage before trying to fix it when square moves as slow as they do would be a complete unmitigated disaster because they simply couldn’t fix it in any reasonable time. How would you feel if the situation was reversed. Healers going “I’m willing to sacrifice the entire tank role for 1/2 entire savage tiers before I’m ready to call for nerfs to my own role”

    Like I said the only reason they haven’t done this anymore is not because “people value a balanced composition”, it’s because braindead strat videos haven’t told them how to do it how to do it without healers yet. Unsynced farm parties just want bodies, comp literally doesn’t matter at all
