Is dpsing and a healer becoming the standard norm!

No, you are incorrect, your reasoning is misguided.

The norm has always been to not sit idly.
If you have time to stand about doing nothing, then that time is better spent doing something. If no healing is necessary, you make it so other things die faster, thus, dealing less damage, and requiring less healing.

I've always been of the opinion that preventing damage is just as important as curing damage, and thus, falls under the umbrella of the healer.

Ikr, so many "bad" healers on the top 5 world palmares that it's really disturbing. C'mon. Not buying that.

Who doesn't get bored when your job is only healing and not dpsing while your party's tank HP is full all time? But nevermind you're leaving tho.

I get bored doing someone else's job because they're too lazy to do it themselves, as it just promotes less awareness for everyone and more DPS to be incompetent!

There can't be too much dps, things can always die faster.

If I have time to turn on Cleric Stance, no one's getting commended. And sure, there's no such thing as too much DPS, I DPS pretty much constantly as a healer, but that doesn't mean DPSing is engaging when I have literally nothing to watch for, and can DPS with one hand while reading a book with the other.

In the current dungeons, if the tank is doing their job right, you won't be casting heals non-stop. So what are you wanting, the ability to pay attention to that book with both hands?

Well I mean, I'm already DPSing with one hand while I read with the other. Personally, I want dungeons to get more healing intensive so I actually have to pay attention rather than just Hoy Spam.

The only reason why healers have the ability to DPS is so they are able to solo content, not to deal DPS in party's. Now if that healer is comfortable and he wishes to do some DPS in there then that's fine he has that ability. But the Healer main job is to heal not to DPS. Did Pre-Alpha/Beata-4 and the reason the job was deigned in this manner was to give the healers the ability to be able to solo content like everyone else. This is why they have the ability to DPS. People really need to stop making jobs into whatever they want and play it as intended.
