DPSing as a healer

[Rennies]

I wouldn't know, because that literally does not happen to me. I do know that the healer role is the strongest in the game, because it enables the team to be much tankier than normal while having straightforward (yet powerful) damage spells. It's basically the carrying role of the game.

If a team is failing mechanics and the healer can't keep up, they have no one else to blame and are simply uneducated on the dungeon+role of the healer. While the healer is meant to carry teams through unavoidable damage and a ton of the avoidable damage, they are NOT meant to keep people alive through screw ups like dying to the carpet bomb in Nidhogg Extreme or failed tank swaps.

As teams grow in experience, the healer will have next to no avoidable damage to heal through, and then that's when their role changes from "heal carry" to "50/50 heal/dps carry".
