I'm sorry what? Have you played any DPS class in this game? I'd say that DPS are the ones that require the most technical skill ever since 3.0 arrived, and if you really just button mash with one hand and use macros, believe me, the tank and healer are gonna notice because things are going to be dying VERY slowly. I'm not one to point out things people in DF are doing wrong because it's not really my problem, and I probably won't see them again ever, but awful players come in all classes. Tanks that can't hold hate or don't use CDs or self-healing are annoying, DPS who deal low damage and get hit by everything are annoying, and healers who just stand there doing nothing through the entirety of a run are also very annoying.

Saying healers are the only role that get this kind of treatment is silly and short sighted. Saying DPS "have it easy" when you're advocating for a style of play that literally has you standing there doing nothing, while everyone else is CONSTANTLY contributing something to the party with every GCD available, well... that leaves me speechless. And no, using Cure/Physick/Benefic over and over with every GCD isn't contributing anything.

I don't hold it against healers who don't want to DPS because they don't feel comfortable or safe doing it. That's perfectly fine. But if someone could do something and instead does not because they don't want to? That's being lazy and selfish.
