Dear Healers that don't DPS in dungeons

[Whippet]

Too bad this skill is useless in coil where you will be spam healing tank.

Wut?

I dps like 70% of them time on turn 1-2-4 on SCH


Turn 5 could send some random DPS between Death Senteces

And i also makle the WHM DPS in turn 2-4

find a better excuse

I heal quite often in Coil but spam healing? Hardly.

Yes we're on Turn 5.

Only time I spam healed a tank is during T1 Boss @ 3 stacks and when T2 ADS starts going batshit.

Does your dps not miss most of the time? I only hit conflags consistently.

LoL at these elitist dps whms.

We build limit during phase 1 and 2 where everyone takes damage purposely so i need to heal them . The only time i dps is during conflags,snakes and end phase. My dps is completely unneeded though.

Making sure tank is 100% before death sentence and i time my cure 2 properly is more important.

For SCH, Bio and Bio II never miss. Aero/II, Miasma, Thunder, Stone/II, Ruin/II etc anything with an initial "hit" to it can miss so WHM is a little worse off in that regard. That said in the occasional times I try for Miasma I wouldn't say I miss that often.

I rage a bit whenever I miss Energy Drain, but all that's done is taught me to save those charges for Lustrate instead.

Well i hate how cleric stance is unresponsive and i occasionally double tap it and i am unable to remove it. I would dps all the time if it was more responsive. Feels very clunky atm.

So all whm spells have a high chance to miss in coil but sch bio and bio 2 will always hit?

Thats why Lustrate can come handy

And please stop with the word Elitist, all we wanna do is make things faster so we waste less time (and bring a little more fun in healer)

Haven't seen anyone say that wasn't the case.

[sharazisspecial]

Well with unresponsive cleric stance i never feel safe. So i don't use during points i need to heal damage. Which is the phases i mentioned. In phases where healing isnt needed i may dps if my mana isnt low(which if i have to res it might be). Seems like quite a waste to spend xx mana on a spell that will miss very often in coil. There is no reason to not use the fluid aura on cooldown except the fact its range is poor.

During the times we beat TT i didnt DPS (i had to use mana to res though)

For trivial content(everything expect coil) i dps because my healing isnt needed at all. So either i dps or i watch videos and heal with macros.

I have noticed that Sch does very high dps in dps meters(i often beat the dps) but whm dps is terrible even if im going all out and using holy. Demon wall i kill as sch before adds but as whm he often survives.

So i get no enjoyment what so ever dpsing due to how clunky cleric stance activation is when i am using it in coil. But i do enjoy dpsing during trivial content. Because i can relax then and it is healable while afk.

I think you have two typed of healers. The ones who like and want to DPS, and the ones who don't want to and/or are uncomfortable with it. When I was undergeared, I preferred to focus my time on healing and only healing. Not that I have Relic +1, a few Allagan, some AF2 (AF+1, whatever you wanna call it)...I mix up healing and DPS a bit more. but a LOT of my decision to heal only or DPS comes from what type of tank we have for the run, who the tank is, how is the tank geared, how experienced are they, and do they have a particular preference on a healer DPSing. Keep in mind, i never do runs of ANYTHING with pickups. Not because I am elitist...but because I have an amazing FC and LS and someone is always running something. So why Duty finder when I can go with people I know/trust? But heals only or DPSing is all entirely situational.
