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

[Dogempire]

If the developers wanted Healers to not DPS, they didn't need to give them Cleric Stance or DPS skills for the MSQ, the far easier thing to do would be to ("Healer=Y? Then: BIG NPC that needs healing()").

...because that would be a ton of extra work that could easily be solved by letting healers do damage? Plus how lame would it be to heal Raubahn to death?

They take the max possible DPS of the DPS classes at min item level, no mechanics, lower it a bit and make that the boss HP+enrage timer.
It's still impossible to actually complete without Healer DPS at the min item level.

You just said it yourself, boss health is calculated without healer dps in mind. You would have an argument if they also took into account x healer dps in addition to the two, but if the group wipes because the DPS can't meet the DPS CHECKS then you shouldn't be blaming the healer, not like healers have some spell that buttonmashes your skills for you to make you achieve max dps and they're too dense to use it.
