I'm in the Process of Leveling Summoner. However, as someone who has always played a Black Mage as their primary class, I will be perfectly honest; I came across FAR too many SCH's who thought they were DPS, not healers. Do you know how ludicrous it is to spam Physick as a Black Mage because the SCH can't be bothered to drop out of Cleric Stance and actually heal the tank? I -really- hate to say it, but that's happened to me more than once in my time playing. It doesn't keep the tank alive, but part of me hopes out of pure SHAME the Scholar will get back to healing.

So, I don't Stance Dance. I'll toss some DoTs up now and then if I know there will be a lull in incoming damage, but my priority is to keep the tank alive and the party in good shape.

As a thought to leave off on, is a DPS slacking off if they're not healing with what healing skills they possess?
