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

[Deliciou5]

The way i always seen it if ANY job in the game is not using 90-100% of it's abilities throughout the fight they are just a lazy/bad player, and they should feel bad.

Healer dps is not taken into consideration for 2 reasons:

1. Healer dps helps separate good parties from excellent parties, they want players to have a way to propel themselves to even greeter heights and have a meta for good healers.

2.During bleeding edge progression, or any progression where healers are a minimum or lower item level, its usually better to hold off on dps for the most part until you learn the fights, it would make the fights near impossible if they had to heal AND dps when doing savage at min. item level. It's really the only time healers have a good reason to refrain from dpsing.

Healer is the only job you can get away with being lazy with for most of the game, that's why you see so many entitled people in this thread to just simply be bad players. The problem isn't JUST with them, its with SE shitty design where they baby everyone until level 60 and make it way to easy to slide on by and never motivate players to better themselves and not just stand around cause they don't NEED to do anything but heal to clear most content.

I have always been motivated to dps on healer, after all why run dungeons longer than you have to when doing the daily roulette grind? Why not get to end game faster when leveling up for the first time?(It already takes a while, why waste more minutes of your life you will never get back?) Why not use those tools SE has given to me to use?
