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

[TaleraRistain]

FTR: this thread wasn't really meant to address healers that aren't comfortable DPSing. It's meant to address the argument that it's good and acceptable for healers to choose not to when they otherwise could.

That said, if anyone reading this isn't comfortable with cleric stance, I would recommend experimenting with it at low level dungeons to acclimate yourself in a low pressure scenario rather than just writing it off as too difficult (if your not a CNJ/WHM, put it as your first cross class to have access to it in Sastasha, for example). It introduces complexity and fun to the job, in addition to the added utility! Best of luck!

How do you tell the difference between someone not comfortable doing it and someone who can but doesn't just from the fact someone isn't DPSing? Most DF groups don't even talk, let alone get into extended discussions about gameplay and their motivations.
