A question for tanks~

Response to Maelwys..

Yes and no. As someone whose healed and tanked for a while I'd say that it really boils down to the encounter in question. It's not always necessary to keep the tank topped up at max health especially if it's going to result in unnecessary over healing (Where avoidable of course).

More often than not healers would only overheal during periods of expected high damage and then go back to 'normal' healing the rest of the time. You also have to take into account class mechanics i.e. some classes being pre-disposed to reactive healing or overhealing.

That sums up the entirety of this thread. I've stated this previously in another thread, but the ability to do DPS on WHM really depends on how well your party performs.

Nullie, please keep trying to squeeze in whatever DPS you can during dungeon runs. There's already enough players who believe healers should just heal and then stand there and do nothing until another person takes a hit. That is -a lot- of potential being held back due to status quo.
