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

Yoshi-P commented on this a bit.



So according to Yoshi-P, all of the game is designed to be beaten without a Healer having to DPS, but the option is there for people that do want to utilize it. If you're queueing for Duty Finder and your Healer is keeping everyone alive, that should be equal to a Tank consistently keeping enmity the entire run, or a DPS doing consistent damage throughout the run.

Holy mother of out of context. They said that Savage content is designed around not needing Healer DPS because it would be over-tuned. There's no Savage raid group in the game that at least one healer isn't DPSing (the SCH).

Further, they even changed the Hall of the Novice text (originally it said nothing about DPSing) to incorporate text regarding damaging the enemies when no one needs healing. Why would they do that? Because too many healers were bad.
