Pretending to dps in dungeons, is this a new fad?

[AlexiIvaniskavich]

The way I see it:
Tanks need to keep agro and use defensive skills.
DPS need to do the most damage that they can and use their dps buff skills (many do not use this, why?)
Healers keep everyone alive, raise the dead and make sure the buffs are up.

Aslong players are doing these things, they are doing their job, in my opinion. Everything else is extra. That DPS that uses Virus or Eye For Eye or helps healing when the Healer is having troubles keeping everyone alive is a amazing player. The Tanks that contributes by doing alot of damage, they are amazing players. The Healers that are able to switch between healing and dealing damage, are amazing players.

Bixillarla might not be taking full adventage of her skills, but this does not mean that she is not doing her job. Lets not forget prior to 3.0 not being able to do speed runs meant you as a player were not doing your job. Untill SE comes here and says that Healers NEED to do DPS, I reckon Bixillarla is doing her job correctly.

Our "job" is to clear content.

People don't run VA just to tank something/heal someone/dps things. We are in there for loot drops and ESO. In order to obtain these items, you must clear content. (pretty simple right???) I would be able to run an entire dungeon usine the combination of shield lob, flash and circle of scorn (for aggro) along with defensive cooldowns and still do my job according to you. Would any one of you believe this is acceptable???

Why does a healer get a free pass for doing nothing for the 10 seconds inbetween cure cast times? (I am disregarding times when mass damage is going out and all you can do is spam heals, those spikes of damage happen, but they do not run for the entire length of a fight)

I am tired of the "it's not my job" argument. It is a self-centered thought and a crutch that too many people hide behind. So you rolled a healer, and your job is to "only" heal. Please let me know when 8 healers clear Titan (or any other content) by only healing.

I am not asking for healers to put up 1k dps - but you can do something.

People seem to lose sight on the fact that there are 3/7/23 other players in the same room with them, and that the content being worked is a TEAM effort.
