Before anyone starts throwing their opinion and starts a flame war about what you should or shouldn't do, lemme tell you this: keep the party alive no matter what. That's your duty as the healer. Do what you must in order the party lives. If you have to help the dps a little bit to make whatever dps check, do it. If you feel like you're gonna have to focus on healing then do so. Trust your judgement and you're a team. Everyone in your party has one goal: down the dungeon. It's not you against your teammates. Help each other out.

Do what you must in order the party lives. If you have to help the dps a little bit to make whatever dos check, do it. If you feel like you're gonna have to focus on healing then do so. Trust your judgement and you're a team. Everyone in your party had one goal: down the dungeon. It's not you against your teammates. Help each other out.

Pretty much this, your first priority is learning how to heal your party. Added DPS means mobs die faster means less healing, but you can't DPS at the expense of your team dying. Find the balance of the two facets and you'll be a much better healer than most healers out there. Every situation will be different, and it's up to you to learn how to make the correct calls.

Good luck~

...you're a team.

Actually true. Not a fat joke.
