The arrogance of some people

[Jim_Berry]

I just have the mentality that, if I'm healing or tanking, and the mobs die slow, it's boring and takes too long. What do I do? Continue to roll dps. What I'm saying is, everyone that says the healer SHOULD dps, should just roll as a healer ALL THE TIME if that's a pet peeve. Perhaps you can do it better. I have no true reason WHY I don't dps as WHM outside of getting too comfortable with that one extra Stone and miss the timing to heal; I simply just don't do it. Lazy? Nah! It's just how I play.

*EDIT*
There were times when I popped Cleric and charged Stone III. The tank got slapped hard for some reason. Cleric was still cooling down, so I threw a Cure II, which did NOTHING, so I had to toss Benediction. Then, the BLM lol'd at me, asking me why I wasn't healing. I had too many instances like that to the point where I'll NEVER dps again, as the tank actually lost all HP, called me a sucky WHM, then he left.

If you need a straight healer, I'll go. If you need a healer that can dps, ask someone else. I get praise and recognition for my healing prowess, being able to calmly handle those "oh crap" moments. That's what my healer is known for.
