    Just simply do as you wish. If you want to dps, go ahead. If not, that is fine. You should not be forced to play a way that you don't want to play. Especially if it's not something that will make or break a run.

    This is fine in the spirit in which I believe it was intended, but also keep in mind that this is the kind of argument used by the WAR who needlessly spams Flash or the DRG who spams Impulse Drive; they're technically doing their jobs, but much more poorly than they could be, and to the detriment of the party. Time is valuable, and occasionally completion is also put at risk, even in casual content, if these people are bad enough.

    Giving one role permission to underperform compared to the others is a slippery slope.

    You should have used Bard for your example, as a Dragoon is a pure dps class they aren't support, so you can't compare it to a healer type that can ALSO dps.

    Though I get the point you were making . The War example is technically perfect.

    It's morning I barely woke up I'm not even sure if I'm arguing with you or furthering your point. I think I'm helping your point ?

    I think you're helping it

    But anyway, the DRG example applies because it's about not performing your role as well as you could.
