Can Accuracy and Parry be removed already?

Did I do the same Novice Hall missions as you did? The Novice hall only suggests you add some damage when everyone is full to speed things up. It is a bonus not a must have. This falls exactly into the "luxury, not a requirement" (prefer the phrase "Nice, not Necessary") mentality. Now if you needed to DpS in order to clear the Healer training you might have an argument.

Depends did you read the same toolkit as I did? Because I'm pretty sure all healer classes have battleskills and I'm pretty sure you need to use those skills to clear the job quests. A healer not using battle based skills is a player not playing the class to its full potential. Which is why they tell you to weave in DPS skills. A healer just healing is the equivalent of a tank just using flash, overpower and unleash and nothing else because that's all a tank technically needs to do.

Since you main PLD you SHOULD know that your combos are not a luxury and a requirement and you must use them otherwise you'll lose aggro left and right just by flashing and likely get kicked out of instances. If they didn't want healers to DPS they wouldn't have made Cleric Stance, they wouldn't have given SCH access to SMN DoTs and they wouldn't have given AST DPS skills either. Healer DPS is a requirement whether or not you or any other healer wants to agree with it.
