In the unlikely event that there is actually someone managing the community, someone who can bring things to the developers attention, I would like to ask them a question.
Why is it that Tanks are allowed to do damage, but Healers aren't?
The damage output on Healers is incredibly low, and the kit we have for dealing damage is so bad it almost might as well not exist.
Why is it like that when Tanks, who also aren't intended for damage, have so much more than Healers do?
Tanks do not need to deal damage to cause threat/enmity, the game had Flash, which did no damage and just caused threat/enmity. For the sake of tanking, all their damage dealing skills could be replaced with Flash.
So that isn't a reason why Tanks have damage.
Going through Solo duties is an argument as Healers also have to go through them, but they're even worse for Healers because we don't get to do damage.
Not always being required to tank and needing something else is not an argument because Healers aren't healing 100% of the time in every fight but aren't given anything for that.
Bad healers not doing enough damage or healing is not an argument either as a bad Tank or DPS is also going to similarly prevent you from clearing content.
