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

[Dogempire]

Saying it's a healers only job to keep everyone alive is like saying it's the tanks job to tank only the mobs that will kill a dps. Or a dps only really has to try if there's a dps check, no dps check? "Well, he is doing some dps" "but he's only using venomous bite" "it's something, who are you to judge".

No, it's the tank's job to keep emnity on all mobs, your example is bad. Besides, if you have a problem with someone else's play style and it's not causing anyone to wipe then YOU can leave and eat the 30 minute penalty.

Besides, I'm not even concerned about the issue anymore, I'm worried about the lack of compassion to other players since all people seem to care about is "BUT MAH DEE PEE ES." It's just a game, a 30 minute run vs a 20 minute run won't kill you.

Also refer to this thread if you think all healers should DPS and heal:
