classes to fill all roles. DPS and tanks equipping resto staves and healing abilities absolutely makes having a healer pointless. What about those that run nothing but healers? What are they supposed to do when the whole group can heal themselves?

    They're supposed to join guilds, socialize and find like-minded players who are willing to play with a dedicated healer rather than mixed builds and bars.
    And/or run challenging content like vet trials and vet DLC dungeons where dedicated healers are required.

    The amazing part in this game's design is that people can actually play how they want. The counterpart of this is of course that you have to move yourself and do the effort to find people who like to play the same way you like to play.

    Dps and tanks don't equip resto staves really in pve.
    They typically heal themselves other ways.
    Class skills, vigor etc.
    Pure healers(that don't buff/debuff and assist with sustain) really don't often exist in ESO the game isn't designed this way.
    Tanks are not meat shields and healers are more than hps, its the nature of this game.
    Personally I like it.

    So my Sorc shouldn't be able to tank because your healer feels useless?

    Hmm, I think I can self-heal just as well in the Damage Dealer slot, which makes this an exercise in pointlessness.

    All classes definitely should be able to fill all roles, but they must do so differently. Then it would be fun.

    If tanks are focussed on healing so much, they probably aren't doing their jobs correctly in the first place. Support roles are exactly that... support. Tanks debuff, buff and hold agro. Healers debuff, buff and heal. Options to add to DPS from both are also a nice addition, but if DPS are doing their single and only job, shouldn't be a requirement :)

    I feel ya though.. I do... it's why my healer is a hybrid for dungeon/4-man content pugging :)
