Healer should not dps in the dungeons?

[Sapphic]

If anything, it's easier to dps a boss than it is a huge trash pull

When im healing on my alt SCH, I get bored standing around doing nothing :P. <3 pairing with a WAR as SCH due to that bonus 20% on adlo shield (40% for crit adlos ^^). Crit Adlo+eye for an eye on big pulls, hit rouse for pet healing and get to dotting! XD

Even when Im on tank, for most bosses in dungeons ill switch to DPS accs and sword oath for the bosses. Turn 9 geared + 120/130 ilvl dps accs, makes the boss drop a lot faster.

Flame me if you want... but I will continue to play the same way that served me well in XI and other MMO's here as a Healer.

FFXI has a TOTALLY different combat style, so playing WHM the same as FFXI is not playing WHM in FFXIV well. Most every MMO has differences in healing, you need to change to adapt to each MMO to be able to properly utilize the role. Same with tanking, same with DPS.

Albeit there are some tips which work cross MMO. Better to approach it as being totally new and forget the previous MMO ^^

Just like using STR accs for NIN :P

Oh definitely, if I have time to DoT I do. The tank I usually run with in a premade just has a propensity toward making me work really damn hard to keep him standing. It's all in good fun, though. :3

I use DPS acc/sword oath on PLD on bosses as well. It's amazing how much it actually affects the damage output.
