there's a lot of sensitive people in this game

This. I mean seriously, the whole questline was about a girl who believed healing was what all Conjurers should do and was basically told otherwise.

I understand that some people just don't have the ability to multi-task, but don't act like Squenix never made it obvious that this was the point they was getting across.

The conjurer questline was about healing the land and working with the elements. Slyphie was killing herself just healing without doing anything else.

And they tell you about the elements with attack spells. Read inbetween what you are talking about. Hell, the issue is twofold, it's not that Sylphie's problems, but the fact that healing is the ONLY thing that matters.

So the fundamental for a Healer in this game is they have to do all the Healing and at the same time, also do DPS jobs??? So to those who thinks this is a very basic of becoming a Healer, tell me this why not these have became standard to be a good Tank or a good DPS, fail to do so will result in being marked as bad,aka HORRIBLE:

Great Job on missing what people is saying...

No one is saying healers should do huge damage or any other nonsense like that(congrats on that huge level of assumptions), people are saying WHMs and SCHs should do damage WHEN IT IS APPROPRIATE!

Or are you gonna tell me that WHM's should stand around and do nothing while Ultima Weapon/Odin charges up their ultimate attack and the only way to stop it is to kill them before they kill you? Or when there's such a lul in times to heal, you can't pop off even a single Aero/Stone/Holy? I found plenty of times to do these even without putting on CS and I still helped out in the DPS department.

1/Do you expect the Tank to hold agro and at the same time, dealing over 400 DPS?
2/Do you expect DPSer to deal 400+ DPS whilst keeping themselves alive and heal themselves?

The first one is ridiculous, the second one if the boss is only capable of AOEs and the tank does their job, DPS should rarely need heals past room hitting spells.

I don't argue with you that Healer should have contribution in DPS, however, by thinking that is compulsory or they will be marked HORRIBLE, is just wrong and stupid.

Okay, so BLM's shouldn't NEED to get Quelling Strikes right? Or DPS don't need Invigorate or B4B or Mage classes don't need Swiftcast either? Or WAR getting Provoke? There's a difference between having them and not having them and to not use something to it's full advantage isn't horrible class usage, but it's pretty damn crappy.
