    Is a healer, unless I'm feeling extremely lazy / dungeon burned out, I always dps like crazy.

    And as a result I'm complemented a lot. People sometimes even go out of their way to tell me I'm one of the few who do my job.

    Honestly though it makes me a little irked and want to stop dpsing. Even though I dps I don't believe in any form that healers HAVE to dps. Half the time I dps in the first place is cause dps is lazy themselves and I want to end the dungeon quickly. Im not understanding why tanks and healers are constantly being questioned but never dps.

    Edit I guess there's a small one in phase 2 but the dps themselves are more then capable of handling the adds and you actually have to be careful not to kill them too fast either so yeah I just hold off till phase 3.
    DPS Check or not, you can make your and the tank jobs easier by DPSing and help pushing to skip extra TB's etc.

    As I mentioned, it's not hard to fit in, as the damage is very predictable. If it was hard to fit in, then I'd be the same and just take it cautiously.

    Heh wow, no one has ever actually verbally acknowledged my DPSing on my SCH. In fact, I often find I am more likely to get commendations if I don't DPS and I just sit around and heal once in awhile.

    It's something that I actually love about healing in this game about being a healer. If you don't like it, well.... Sad I guess. But at the same time, like every other MMO out there is already catered to you at that point. So I can't say that I feel all that much sympathy for you because ONE game happens to cater more towards me and others in terms of healers roles.
    Seriously, if I didn't dps and stance dance. I'd probably just be standing still for long extended perids of times. Which is quite often exactly what happens in other MMOs. Healers in this game can actually put out some good dps.
    So yes, if you have the capacity to put out good damage. But you just stand around doing nothing for extended periods of times and refuse to dps '' cuz healer ''. No, you're not actually playing your character correctly.
    And quite honestly, I don't blame people for becoming a bit moody at people who refuse to do it. What are you even doing? Why are you even playing a healer in this game then? If you solely want to heal and nothing else, there's.... Every other MMO ever out there...
    Obviously, I don't condone people being assholes or anything.
    But I'd be lying if I said that it didn't bother me when people refuse to do it.
    As I said.... You have every MMO ever out there. It's rather self centered to throw a tempter tantrum and refuse to do it and slow everything down for everyone else. Just because healing in this one game doesn't suit you.

    I mained SCH and then AST for a while, until I decided that if I was going to spend more time dps'ing than healing then I might as well just make a dps job my main. I just don't like having to play two jobs at the same time, I guess.

    Healers shouldn't feel obligated to DPS, and ragging on a healer for not DPSing should never be okay. If they wanted to DPS, fine. If not, let them be the job they chose.

    [QUOTE=Reinha;3616560]I also think healing should be made harder, but in a different way. By nerfing heal potencies. /QUOTE]

    Interesting idea, but it highly depends on how much you want to see it cut. If the idea here is to make healing more intense so that healers must spam healing constantly.. Seeing how current system works today, this might be very problematic. SE always try to adjust content based on existing player power. So new content are created knowing how much healers can heal. If you cut heal potency in the next update, you will see suddent difficulty increase in raids. Players already die under the skilled, well geared healers watch. I don't think SE will consider this as an option, also, they don't see healing as a problem, but healers simply adding more DPS and content being completed faster than expected. That's why they nerfed holy twice, removed accuracy from gear and now require melding.

    It's because being a DPS has absolutely 0 real worth outside of top end raids. Not having a dps won't stop you from clearing content, it just might take slightly longer to clear content. It's fairly common to be fully capable of clearing everything without a single DPS job, running nothing but healers and tanks because healer DPS is frankly insanely high.

    Yep. I fat fingered 2. Either way, healing the Seph EX fight is pretty easy, unless your DPS kill everyone on adds I guess.

    A20: While the feature can be implemented, it’s currently masked. It’s currently masked because we would like to prevent players from harassing each other just because they know they would never party together in the future. We will continue to monitor the situation carefully as we move forward.

    Well maybe this is why tanks and healers are becoming scarce. So many people are trying to dictate whatever they do. I'm just going to say this. If the healer is keeping you alive. Just worry about that. They are doing their jobs. If you want a healer to dps so badly. Then roll a healer yourself and do it. But don't force other players to play a game the way you want them to play it. You are not paying the sub for them. You have no say how they play their class. If they want to DPS, then that's great. If they don't? So what? It's not going to determine if you live or die in a dungeon.
