As a healer, is it my job to DPS? A new perspective.

[AristocraticCorgi]

It's your job to continuously contribute, as it is for any tank or DPS. To not DPS when everyone is topped off would be like your PLD, once having sufficient enmity, waiting out the DoT duration of Goring Blade rather than throwing in RA and RoH combos between GBs, or never using anything but RoH and Flash in the first place despite massive excess enmity (much like overhealing).

This is my creed.

So many people out there are not confident enough to heal and dps at once. Others are just unskilled and/or lazy and don't even bother trying.

When healers, tanks and dps continually contribute to eliminating mob, it becomes easier to clear out dungeons and achieve objectives more quickly/efficiently.
