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

[Dogempire]

I said earlier there are times when healers not dpsing is fine. However it does bother me when its obvious someone isn't trying, like my lazy dps example, which you conveniently ignored. 30% of healers actions are dps. Use em. Stop defending the lazy.

It's already been said before, but if healers didn't have damaging skills what about quests? Would we just heal the enemy to death?

My issue isn't about if you SHOULD DPS as a healer, of course you should DPS, standing around doing nothing during combat is could reproductive.

My issue is with the people who say you HAVE to DPS. If I'm in a new duty and I'm uncomfortable with the content and the damage patterns I might opt out of dpsing until I get the gist of it.
