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

[Zanika]

But I think it's mildly hypocritical to say "SCH can keep DPS'ing, and SMN's can off-heal, but don't expect a WHM to do it!" This just puts me of the impression that you play a White Mage only.

ARC is the only DoM I have yet to reach lvl 50 on, but I've seen what they're capable of. WHM's don't have a near inexaustable mana pool, a little fairy summon that's capable of healing everyone, or a minature primal that can tank/dps for them. WHM may be seen as a better healer overall, but their resources are limited. And I've never took a pre-made party into dungeon runs. Random parties make things intresting in my opinion, and that's where my cautious insight comes from. If I ever were with a group that I KNOW can hande what's comming, then I'll dust off my Stone II spell. But until then, I'm going to stick with Heals and non-agressive Support. Where I feel I belong.
But to answer your qusetion, my overall glvl as a WHM is 54. Not too high, I know.
