But...I...I don't wanna DPS, I'm a healer...

[PriestAlseid]

Question!

I was running a dungeon on my SMN and the healer was an SCH but they weren't doing DPS. I read somewhere that DoTs don't stack, is that true?

If yes, ah okay.

If no, -now- I get the whole "DPS" as heals thing, cause I was like, "You're standing around. You could DoT that, and that, press your Bane button."

i m pretty sure both SMN and SCH can apply DoT without issues

i never force healer to dps

but when i heal, i found it boring just standing there

when i heal, i first observe how my team do, may be after 1st boss. i have confident about my party

i will drop DoT and some attack spell, but i would first do it without cleric stance until i m very sure

i dont play SCH much, not sure how it compare to WHM and AST

yet, i always find there are time allow me to at least drop some DoT when playing WHM and AST, unless the tank pulling all mobs from start to first boss

Yeah standing there only healing is boring as hell.

As a SCH main I always DPS regardless of my tank, throw aldo on them before they pull and together with Selene/Eos you'll have plenty of time to switch to Clerics Stance, cast your dots and bane them into the pack at the very least and switch back to heal the damage before using Ruin/Broil until the dots are close to wearing off. Then just repeat

Don't forget you have Rouse to give your fairy a heal boost on larger packs as well as Eye for an eye too. There's plenty of ways to mitigate damage as a SCH to allow you to DPS easily
