Are healers lazy or do some really live by "I only heal"?

[KarstenS]

- She unambiguously complains that all she wants to do is heal

...and the point of the CNJ questline is that she shall do that by using the power of the elements and not by draining her own life

Cleaning up with the unclean elements is there to show that the elements are in danger itself (but in most cases its just the lack of creativity of the designers). The aim of all that quest is a different: get your connection to the elements.

EDIT: I'm not against DPS by healers. I just want to show, that this example is completely cut out of the real context.

But in my eyes, except for hard content: As long >90% of all DPS player in i190+ do less damage than I did as noob DPS at Lvl 50 in around i120, its ok for me if a heal do just heal.

The cliche about agreeing to disagree comes to mind.

You aren't wrong about what Sylphie's story concerns when it comes to the whole life force bit, but I maintain that my broader interpretation remains valid and appropriate, especially when used to draw a comparison to players who similarly refuse to use the tools available to them. Not at all the same thing as being out of context. This hair really did not need to be split.
