Sloppy and unoptimized, but I didn’t exactly have anything in mind for this.
I saw some post about another tank doing this to make a statement about healers not DPSing in dungeons, and while I agree with them completely, this is a double-edged sword in my opinion.
The problem is that SE has historically demonstrated that they don’t want to pressure the average healer into doing DPS. Good tanks can do things like this, and it’s a rewarding and enjoyable experience. It’s also very rewarding when you can play well enough to not rely on a healer at all in some cases, but the moment this translates into: “The tank doesn’t need healing, therefore healers need to dps more”, these “I’m just here to heal” players will have a cry about it. We can see historically, instead of encouraging these healers to get better, SE has punished good warriors by nerfing the job and making them more reliant on healers. SE will continue to cater to these people. Warrior will be nerfed again. It’s a damn shame

Only WAR can do this, other tanks cannot. Even PLD, the constant healing will drain your MP and when you heal, you do no dmg so it drags on forever. As a healer, I love it when the dungeon has a WAR tank in duty finder!
I haven't played tank very much but I'm curious how WARs do this. Is there a certain defensive rotation you do or just rotate all your self healing defensive abilities? There have been a few times that the WAR has soloed the rest of a boss and it makes me wanna play it. I just don't know how 100%
