Return of Reckoning

While at healers patch, I'm curios why specific classes don't have any form of heal debuffs.

Dps- only sorc, engi, magus don't have heal debuffs. Meaning, despite their intended dps role, in presence of any healer they practically speaking lose a significant portion of their dps, compared to all other dps classes.

Rest of classes- only bo and sm don't have any sort of heal debuffs.

Wonder why exactly- don't remember it being mentioned on forums, but practically speaking it is a significant downside to those classes, compared to the rest of classes. Especially considering that, as I said, 3 of them are supposed to fill a dps role.

Sork is one big mess

Someone should make a big spreadsheet that shows all the impactful abilities (careful with how to keep some faction identity).

-Pulls
-Pounces
-Heal Debuffs
-Armor Debuffs
-Resistance Debuffs
-Classes that can debuff their own damage type
-Knockdowns
-Snares

etc. etc.

Then look at the combos. e.g. Pounce/Execute. You'll find it's the combos that make the most noise and need counterbalance. e.g. Give mSH a single target execute to balance WLs or give Maruaders a pounce sorta thing.

And then you can have great balance conversations.
