Regarding healers acting as DPS

[BorisDaBlade]

The community really needs to make up its mind about healers DPSing. One minute it's, "Lazy healers are just sitting on their thumbs the whole dungeon, if they would just dps this would go so much faster." The Next minute it's, "WTH healer? Why are you DPSing and letting my health get so low? I almost died in that last trash pull. You need to git gud and just spam cure on me." Ah, DF life.

My thoughts exactly. If I had to spam heal to play catch up after one Stone III cast, then you've asked for something completely inefficient. I have what I prioritize and it keeps the DPS and tanks focused on their job. Healing is a situational job and more often than not the healer knows their limits or will figure it out quickly.

False dichotomy. Decent healers have no problem both doing DPS and keeping the tank at comfortable HP levels.

"Confortable"? what's the meaming ?
It's more than 10% ? 20% ? 50% ? 70%?

You want to dps ? Tell him.
You Stress too much when your hp is under 30% ? Tell him
Just communicate, it's not that hard.
