PLEASE, stop teaching/telling new healers to DPS

[Jyoeru]

Thanks for taking it out of context. Want to see how ridiculous your posts sound if I do the same?

Took what out of context? It was a direct quote. You said that. I disagree. The expense isn't worth the so-called benefit for the most part. The stun isn't anything to write home about either.

If they need you to clear the encounter, you're right; the DPS are probably undergeared or dead too often to make a difference. You are however helping your DPS out by doing DPS as a healer, which is a good thing; which makes you better than those that don't. If you're slacking as a healer in order to DPS, then you're doing it wrong, but if you're able to do both at the same time; great!

Garuda Extreme comes to mind often when I talk about this. Even post nerf, no other DPS comes close to matching up with Holy AoE DPS; and it takes out those plumes in no time, so that they can concentrate on the Satin Plume. Do you need to use Holy? Of course not. Does it help the group? Yes.

I don't disagree with trying to do all you can. Then again, now that I am leveling a tank and DD, I can state that most healers don't have a clue how to heal (which I can also say just from healing experience with another healer). I just prefer we not give people labels based on the extra extra stuff they do. Soon enough it becomes expected. Fine for me, I do the extra stuff. Bad for community, imo.
