And I'm STILL disappointed; because I favor playing healer, particularly Sage. To quote something I read in the comments on Reddit:
Moreso than any exploration content beforehand, Tanks just end up as kings. Phantom actions devalue dps by giving huge damage buttons to everyone; healers are devalued by chemists spamming out infinite raises. Survivability is the thing most limited both by the mastery buff and by phantom actions, so tanks end up being kings of the zone. Phantom jobs have shrunk the player space, not expanded it.

And this is evidenced - from my experience at least - by the sheer number of Tanks in every CE or OC-FATE I enter.

The thing is, I never really finished fully levelling any tank job as I just don't enjoy tank gameplay. Which means I generally play OC as Sage, and it feels really unrewarding and redundant.
I actually am happy when I see healers in parties. There's a few CEs that are annoying without one. Also, admittedly, if I have one I can start using the Starfall strat and not have to Vercure myself lol.
