Create more content for tanks and heals. Like vMA test. Like DPS dummy test.

Honestly it's just ridiculous how much the game oriented towards DDs. I have 8 maxed out chars for all possible roles, but it makes me sad that any time I need to get gear for my tanks or heals I switch to DD's to get them that gear.

Why not create healing or tanking challenges, where support roles could test their skills and get a reward if they are good? Or even get ranked?

    Weird. I use tanks to get gear for DPS. Treasure Hunter due to points going in that tree anyway, and very fast dungeon pops.

    You are apparently not trying to get trials gear. with 8-9 DPS per trial and 1 tank, it's way easier to grind trials as a DD. Also, tanking pugs in a trial absolutely sucks.

    I farm all my gear on my healer. No problems ever finding a group because I make the group. I can also mitigate most of the idiots in the trial with my healing to keep them alive.

    Need a dungeon farm? Support players have the shortest queues.

    Because the whole point of tanking and healing is to convert uncontrolled situations into controlled situations.

    Giving us controlled situations to test our tanking and healing is by itself counter productive.

    True. And a benefit in ESO is being able to quickly change to DPS. I dps overland on my tank. I do not change any CP or attributes. Merely change gear and skills. Giving how many skill points there are in the game it is easy. Anything not overland or open, except some WBs, does not require much dps. Everything else can use a tank.
    Really, idk

    In WoW we had something like this and I thought it was great. It was basically a challenge where you would earn medals and before competing you would choose which role you would compete as so to test your healing abilities, tanking, and dps abilities.

    I found what I was talking about if you guys are interested in how I could see trials being set up for all roles.
