There is no other options. This is for veteran difficulty dungeons.

A) be in a group that has a very good tank but does not have a good healer

The unfortunate truth is most if not every dungeon can be done with a bad or no healer. A bad tank, however, means bad times. I assume in this situation I am DPSing, which I only do while queued with a tank I know personally. I can heal myself fine and even heal the group in this situation as DPS.

If the group has a very good tank, there is mostly no reason to have also have a good healer. I'll simply sacrifice a bit of damage for some buffs and/or healing and I'm good to go.

On the other side, if the tank is bad and you get the wrong dungeon, it can become quite tricky due to problems with positioning, add stacking and that sort of things.

Definitely tank, if it's smacking them then it ain't smacking you.

Its very hard to do a vet DLC dungeon without a good tank. You can run almost every dungeon without a healer. Sorry, healers.

i can at least heal myself, but i can't tank and deal damage.

though a healer is also very important and i would rather have a tank and a healer

As someone who primarily heals, this is a bit of an awkward question.

That said, I know I've been in situations where a bad (usually intentionally fake) tank has sunk the whole group. On the other hand, there have been very few cases where I've felt like my (somewhat mediocre) healing was holding the group back (and most of them also involved other members of the group doing their jobs poorly), and there have been lots of cases where I've felt irrelevant due to really great tanking and/or DPS carrying everybody.

If the tank is good, I can self heal whatever little damage I take. If the tank isn't doing his job, then there probably won't be anything left of me to heal.

Because, we can build hybrid healer DPS.

Good tanks are worth their weight in gold.

A good tank allows you to take 3 dps with some self sustain. healers are absolutely pivotal in trials but in dungeons- even vet and hm they are not required tbh.

I would in basically every dungeon rather have a decent 3rd DPS than an actual healer.

If the tank is decent youre barely ever going to need an actual healer.

Saving DD is main role for the healer. So almost fake tank usually kill everyone.

Anyone voting B has never done a veteran dungeon before straight up. Healers can’t save groups when the tanking sucks because of one shot mechanics but a good tank can survive most content with minimal help from healers. Much more doable

By the way, my main character is real tank.

When I got group leaving punishment by the "terrible FAKE TANK" as DPS or Healer,
I felt huge complaining against then. It should be removed immediately.

Can't out-heal one shots, and can't dps properly if the boss is chasing down a headless chicken.
