DPSing as a healer

[mp-please]

since every content in this game is clearable without healer DPS - words of the devs.

Ok now this is getting out of hand, that line never applied to DF content AT ALL. When yoshida said that it was for coil and endgame raiding to determine the duration of the enrage timer.

Yes. Since all DPS jobs will be increasing up through level 60, it makes sense to have the white mage's DPS extend by a proportional amount as well. For development, such as with Bahamut's Coils, the development team assumes what the item level should be for general equipment on players when they clear a raid. They sum up the basic DPS for four DPS and tanks at that assumed item level and cut that by about 10-15% for the minimum clear DPS. Healer DPS is not taken into account when this is set.

People have been misusing this excuse for so long that people managed to completely distort it's purpose.
