The arrogance of some people

Thing is a DRG is required to do that because it's their job, healer DPS is and always will be optional. you just have to live with it.

No DPS who plays with you should ever be expected to dodge AOEs then, because reducing the amount of healing you have to do isn't DPSing.

True, it's not DPSing. It's not tanking nor healing either. As such, it can't be attributed to any role in particular. Which begs the question who is responsible for something nobody is explicitly responsible for? Clearly, we need a "dodger" role that pulls all the AoEs to itself and is responsible for dodging them.

That's fine, as long as you can live with the fact you are a 2nd rate healer and people don't like you.

Ah, the joys of people putting words in your mouth, i actually do dps if the tank does not need much healing, my point was any fool who thinks DPSing as healer should be mandatory has lost the meaning of doing their job, i in fact have never had a PT dislike me for any reason, however, the fact remains the same, Regardless of how silly that post you just made was. We all make mistakes.

The difference with that is, standing in AOE's it's just plain dumb and silly because they are willfully taking the damage due to tunnel vision or they are just slow, that is a terrible comparsion, because you can beat any content fast and effective without a Healer throwing DPS, but as i corrected the above poster who also thought he was making a point but ending up looking silly, foolish comments like this do not change facts. Healer DPSing is optional. for me i do it so i don't get bored and just stand there.

However this thread title was a perfect example of those 2 posts.
