Remind me of the day I was in Halatali, young new healer, and a summoner was there that insisted in healing, so I left said summoner heal the entire dungeon and I switched to being full DPS....I even removed Eos...worked fihe..you know..it all depends on the group to be exact... in al ideal world everything would work fine, just ebacuse you cant conceive something doesnt mean it cant happen, so yes, you can eat and have your cake, but again it depends on the group you are with. Some tanks dont require any healing at all or very little while others we need to heal constantly and even *three* of us is not enough....see my point ?..dont be that sure that only beacuse is a healer all he SHOULD do is heal...is all circumstancial.

Butthurt much because you are tired of everybody claiming what is true? That your WHM can be played by a 5 year old?

Well, just because YOU play with 2 buttons and you heard some forum kind agreeing with that doesn't mean that's actually how to play the class properly...

You want accuracy for content where you won't be able to do DPS until everyone is over-geared? Why not try and get more healing potency to actually complete the raids?

If you have time to do DPS without everyone raging at you for killing them, who cares if you misses some attacks? it's not like it will make any difference...

Why not give Mind to Summoner so they can do some healing in Final Coil?

If you're only using 2 buttons, then you are either not the best healer, or you're not doing the really challenging fights... A healer has more to keep track of than DPS too...

If you have the time and MP to throw out some DPS, you have the time and MP to throw up some stoneskins.

Something people miss - Energy Drain isn't 100% chance to succeed, which can take away a useful tool for SCH MP management when your ACC is in the toilet.

I'm sorry, but have you done endgame content? Most of the fights are tight dps checks. You have it completely backwards, healers need to DPS while you are under-geared because everyone is doing less damage.

Its how we started to clear T8 and T9 back when they where fresh, and it's still something we rely on for T10+, altho to a lesser degree since only our SCH can really DPS now.

And Regens.
BTW, does the OP know her breaking point of Tank HP when Stoneskin becomes more effective than Cure 2?

Which means this is a hint from SE that they don't want healers DPSing in those fights. Or at least, that's how it seems to be from my perspective.
