I'm in agreement with healers doing damage. In my early days of ffxiv I was often asked to stop doing damage because healers are supposed to heal, and party members found it really uncomfortable that I wasn't 100% hovering ready to heal them.

My argument is simply that this thread doesn't give people the knowledge how to heal and do damage. It just says they should and that's truly not helpful because you're assuming everyone is intelligent enough to figure out how and when they should dps, yet calling people out for not being aware and not understanding their skills. You can't tell a four year old they need to learn how to read and write and not teach them.

I'd say a quite a few people take other peoples beliefs and use them as their own. Lots of people don't do the work, don't do the math, they just take someone seemingly smarter then themselves opinion as fact and throw it around as truth. These people read these forums, they agree slightly and make the belief their own.
