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

[CBellz]

"If you're a MNK and are not using Blood Bath to heal yourself, you're a bad MNK."
"If you're a DRG and are not using Foresight when taking physical damage of any kind, including physical AoEs, you're a bad DRG."
"If you're a BLM and are not using Eye for an Eye on the Tank, you're a bad BLM."
"If you're a NIN and are not using Keen Flurry, you're a bad NIN."
"If you're a BRD and are not using Second Wind, you're a bad BRD."

If you're a BLM and are not using Apoc on the tank, you're a bad BLM.

If you're a NIN and are not using Shadewalker or Goad when needed, you're a bad NIN.

If you're a Bard and are not using Foe Requiem, you're a bad Bard.

I just gave 3 examples that are much closer to the healer DPS analogy than the examples you gave. Want me to go on?
