It'd be severely limiting, honestly

yeah

i think it's fine how it is atm

they are changing things for shadowbringers so some abilities gonna say BYE BYE

Because imagine a Bard or RDM only speccing in.. buffs or Dmg, respectively

and introducing specs for each job would make balancing impossible

All that utility, poof

thjeyre gonna remove abilities then add new ones to fill that space

Yes, and the new abilities arguably serve more specialized and constant purposes

I'm so hyped for shadowbringers

the new red mage set looks awesome

they took away take agro combos and now we generate agro by just going tank stance

which THANK firetruck

so theyre not actually tackling the issue of bloat

theyre just adding to it

the dps loss using it was bad

btw they said they want to remove that healers are forced to dps in the raids. does this mean that healers lose their dps abilties or that healing just gets harder by increasing the frequency of incoming raid dmg

no

they want a role to focus more on their role?

@Liftea Well, for WHM, they are going to make them more specialized in healing, but they intent to give them more DPS abilites to use between heals

they still can its just not focus

Woah!

doing dps is an important part of the healer role

during downtimes

not massively though is it

yes, actually.. every little bit of dmg helps and decides rather everyone will die or not during the wipeouts

if you don 't do dps as a healer during downtimes you play intentionally bad

^^^

then get better DPs then

there's no reason to not do dps
