How will the new changes effect Healers and Tanks?

Auberon1983

Let me start off by saying I am absolutely, bottom of the barrel BAD at PvE DPS. I can play PvP Brawlers "OK", but my highest parse was about 40k on a MagPlar, which has been a fairly hard hitting class. So, because of this, I main Healers and Tanks.

I've been reading through many of the upcoming changes, and honestly, it's just a lot, to the point I'm getting confused. So, can someone please kindly "dumb it down" for this old man? Thank you in advance.

PS I am so, so sorry to all of our amazing DPS players. You guys and gals already have the hardest jobs in Trials and Vet content (for the most part, at least from what I've seen), and it looks like it's just going to get harder.

Radiating Regeneration is taking a 40% hit to healing. This will likely mean that players that are not in close proximity will be getting significantly less healing both because the ability will be less effective and because less people will be using it.

This in turn will lead to players either being more careful about their positioning, players dying more, or healers getting out of position/burning resources to heal the person in the wrong spot.

Healers might actually have to work a bit harder. Maybe. Tanks are going to be even more boring to play in overland but we do now have armoury to address that.

Not clear - it's possible with the LA nerf being so big at this point that for dungeons at least it'll be better to just fire the healer and tank and take 4 DPS all permablocking into the dungeon instead because the la is so weak it's not worth using.

Tanks are similar with self healing as all HoTs were changed to tick every 2s.
