You could, you know, do it as part of a group?
Okay, I main tank and yes, the dps content kind of sucks.
Here is the thing though, it doesnât have to. Ffxiv does the same thing but healer and tank jobs get some sort of solo scenario buff. They do competent damage. They arenât going to finish as fast as a dps job, but you wonât be in there over twice or three times as long as the dps like with wow.
Wow could really do the same thing , then the content isnât bad for tanks and healers.
Alternatively : fewer mobs if you are solo tank or healer

Of course it is designed for dps, just like leveling in any zone, it is for dps only. That is 100% the intent the devs have, when you need to do solo content you have to dps.
It is sad that the best part of 8.3 you simply can only do for 15 mins a week.
Have you thought about playing with friends?
^^^ This, my gaming rig is in the shop but have at least 3 people who have my back when Iâm up and running again. OP,your issue sounds like a people issue NOT a game issue as your friends sound like selfish buttholes if theyâre refusing to help you and make dismissive comments. Also sounds like you should find a new guild if they arenât willing to help anyone outside of their raiding clique as well since the point of good guilds are to make friends and help one another out. Take the initiative and socialize with new people otherwise at this point,youâre going to be perceived as making excuses.
People like you who just need to get good, Iâve gotten my cloak to rank 6 as healer and tank solo. Perhaps itâs the ones complaining about it that are the problem.

As someone that designs systems, interfaces, websites, etc. I doubt that. No, I guarantee they designed it as it has been released.
It would have been too much work to build for different roles; would they need to add NPCs to be party members, would DPS of healers be calculated into the mix.
Instead they tested it most likely against DPS cases and allowed grouping for specs they didnât test or to get the content out by a deadline.

I agree with people here.
Content in WoW has always only been designed for DPS.
Thatâs why there are two other roles.
Iâm sorryâŠIâm a healer main, and this type of complaining isnât a bit too much. While I do agree that itâs a bit of an oversight, and the system is really bad with the cost of Visions, itâs really not that hard to change specs. This is also an MMO, and playing with friends is generally encouraged. By this week my baby Shaman healer who has no gear is sitting at 5 Visions + 10,000 essences already. Iâm waiting for when my friend gets his next so we can run through it together, because friends shockingly play games together if they arenât jerks.
This is one of those situations where the issue isnât the design of the content, itâs just the entry. This game hasnât been super healer or tank friendly for most of its life outside of instanced PvE, yet many healers and tanks have survived to this day. This feels like a âlearn to playâ type issue, though Iâm not trying to discredit the people struggling. The amount of complaining is just a little over dramatic and unnecessary.

This is a valid criticism though. Horrific Visions are tuned in such a way that tanks and healers are kind of a burden and canât really solo well either. It is a flaw of horrific visions that is worth discussing.

This problem also exists in Islands. Maybe they could set the scaling to a negative in just these two areas for tank and healers? Go in solo as a tank or heal spec and the scaling drops like 5%?
Say you have a group of 5⊠all dps⊠so the scaling is exactly normal. 100%. Go in with a balanced group of 1 tank, 3 dps, and 1 healer? 90%. Get through there a little safer, but a little slower.
Iâm just throwing out ideas of course and not advocating anything except giving all classes and all specs their own gimmick free interrupt. cough healers, warlocks, and boomkins cough cough
@Fluffyclucks, honestly I dont know what your issue is as a healer⊠group up dude⊠I do visions as a tank with a healer and we duo the content without issue⊠Both cloaks at rank 7. Healers and Tanks both have the ability to put out enough dps to complete the visions to get the required items to upgrade your cloak. Heck most if not every healer Ive run with in dungeons and raids will dps when there are down times⊠this far into the game, healers dont âonlyâ heal⊠But like others have said, donât try to speak for everyoneâŠ
WellâŠ
âŠeven with it costing a vial.
And these are people you call friends?
Making content for healers and tanks would take more work.

while they arenât real specific, they have mentioned they have attempted to get into groups.

Iâm curious; unless youâre pushing contentâŠHeroic or Mythic raiding or high keysâŠjust what exactly is the driving rush to progress that cloak as quickly as humanly possible?
Definitely not a problem since you get a vessel every like 2.5 days now due to the massive bump in CV gains. People in my guild are swimming in the things.

âMost advancedâ?
Hardly. This character wasnât even 420 when 8.3 dropped, and if you look at the character, âmost advancedâ or âelitesâ would be two of the last things you would describe it as. Now Iâm at Rank 6.5 (one wing into the two I need for 7) and still only i433.
Part of the reason is probably all those âTHINGS YOU HAVE TO DO IN 8.3â clickbait youtube videos.
