Rant on healers acting as a dps role

[Ghishlain]

I do not disagree with you at all. What is interesting to me-- Well, suppose you consider a healer's responsibility to be the following:

1. Heal (or mitigate, etc) unavoidable damage.
2. Fix mistakes (heal avoidable damage, res)
3. DPS

I'm seeing more in endgame LS healers that know the theory... and want to cut out #2 completely. So that's the attitude I'm referring to. The "wtf" comes not from a lack of understanding of the theory, but from the expectation of perfection.

In some respects, I can't disagree with them. Depending on the content and the party's ilvl, the only way to clear the content is absolute perfection (A3S and A4S say hi).

But... that mentality for say... Void Ark? Well, they're barking up the wrong tree, that's for sure.
