White Mage: You should DPS and here's why.

[Tanaya]

If you're so determined to stay active in dull moments, then how about renewing Stoneskin on everyone who's been hit?

You're assuming the tank sucks and everyone is taking hits.

I agree that us healers should DPS when possible. Problem is, other people don't like it. Too often I'll have another player throw a bitch fit and shout at me to stop "dpsing and heal!!!" after I cast a single Aero...

I still make use of Aero and Aero II when I can, but with the exception of Demon Wall, I avoid DPS as much as possible just to save myself the grief.

I'm waiting for the day when this'll happen to me. But for some reason it hasn't. In fact I've had more praises than complaints.

Different experiences though. I suppose I've just been lucky.
