do I hafta..

As a SCH, I find DPSing feels like a waste of time. By the time I'm done applying dots, most of the stuff is half dead anyway. When I'm on WHM, spamming Holy seems infinitely more useful - but on SCH, I tend to not bother with DPS and just keep people alive, for the most part. I may DPS on bosses, but not on normal mobs.

sounds like trash content comparison. How about a perspective on endgame where accuracy actually matters?

You must be so bored during the trash then, having Eos just heal for you... bane is seriously a miracle.

honestly I DPS the crap out of trash and tend to hold back (for most of the battle at least) during bosses because I'm so paranoid about everyone dying then.
I mean of course I do some stuff during bosses.

Short answer: You don't have to..

Question: Why can't you dps with your SCH on Praetorium? I find that when I play SCH, there's really no healing to do because Eos takes care of most of it..
on a WHM, stance dancing is a little bit more risky and people don't expect you to help dps unless it's for aoe.

If you read the OP, they're hardly talking about "endgame where accuracy actually matters".

I'm not questioning the OP, though. I'm questioning you

What? Healers doing damage? HEALERS DOING DAMAGE!?

Can healers do damage? Yes. They do have skills that allow them to DPS, so yes they can.

But should healers be doing damage? If you party is not dying and you are comfortable in the fight/your party/your tanks/your healing/everything, then go ahead. There's no law that says you have to DPS just as there is no law that says you cannot. Just... do whatever you're comfortable with.

You are a healer, your job is to heal. Everything else is just gravy and cherry on top. You main top priority is to keep everyone HP on check, takes care of status removal, DPS is the lowest in the totem pole and the least of your problem. When your healer has to DPS to help the DPS check, guess what??? You have a bunch of DPS who have no idea on how to do their rotation... and just pew pew or die.
