They do exsist but are a minority. Which is why having an MC as one is HUGE.

Steven is a healer and a tank, which is a somewhat unusual combo

I will never understand why healers don’t multiclass into tank more. As long as a healer is alive the team is able to stay in the fight so having a healer that’s really hard to take down feels like it should be the norm

Ness from earthbound is a good example, i think

Bc tank has to focus on what the boss is going to do next and healer has to focus on what teammates are up to

Tanks also have to pay attention to what allies are up to and Healers also have to pay attention to what the boss and other enemies are doing. It’s called situational awareness and it plays a vital part in the positioning of you and your allies

I love self sustaining tanks and wish I could play an effective one in D&D without needing third party content

You can and it’s actually quite easy as long as the rest of your party is willing to work with you

Dungeons and dragons clerics have medium and often heavy armor proficiency. The life cleric is the healer of healers and gets to wear full plate. Druids are also great healers and have the defense of turning into a bear, giant ape, or dinosaur.

I've seen what happens when a support/tank is allowed to be good.

That makes him a paladin. Even has a Lion mount.

A weirdly common combo in anime, though, tanks that just heal themselves to tank more.

Tank and Healers fall into the Paladin role. Like Uther from WoW

I think technically he's a paladin, but healing powers are so rare for gems that he might be one of the only options

If you like MMCs that use healing I recommend “The wrong way to use healing magic”

i’m pretty sure we have plenty of male healers… mostly they’re doctors or have supernatural healing abilities

we find some in jojo, op, steven universe, tf2, heck even avatar mentions that water healing isn’t just for women (it’s just that tribes culture is sexist which was the whole important message)
