    BA is accessible because elemental armour makes you so incredibly powerful

    A full set of elemental armour halves your damage taken and almost triples your damage given

    Arcanauts armour doesn’t decrease your damage taken and current OC BIS only increases your damage by 40% (majority of which comes from mastery stacks). Even if they doubled the gear stats in north horn (so either increasing the left side to +5 or adding +2 accessories with the same stats) then 52% from mastery stacks and 27% from gear equals 98% more damage but still no reduction in damage taken

    Then when you factor in it’s almost never enrage you actually die to in forked rather being mechanics and this theoretical +26 mastery stacks and all +2 gear being way less accessible than elemental gear and it’s just…..you aren’t going to outscale forked unless they dump SAM entirely as the flat high damage job that does nothing else and introduce something massive like flare star and even then you will have to clear mechanics like fire towers or bridges which don’t care about DPS

    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
