    If the role is too difficult, then either practice in easier content or play something else. You are basically advocating people willfully accept someone else gimping a portion of their abilities because "it's too hard for them." In leveling dungeons or mentor roulette? Sure. I won't get on your case about lack of DPS contribution because those roulettes are intentionally designed for inexperienced players to learn. When you've reached Xelphatol or Alexander, you no longer have any excuse. Furthermore, I'll straight up comm any healer who at least tries to stance dance even if they panic out of it. At least they are putting forth an effort-- one I hope to encourage with commendations. It's the healers who flatout don't want to DPS that most people complain about.

    Im replying because you quoted me. You do not seem to understand that healers still need to learn afight like alexander before youknow when its safe to dps, so your comments are based on presumption. It is just thse same presmptions of what healers can and cant do which is what I am talking about

    No one is saying you have to DPS day one of progression. In fact, I wouldn't even turn off Grit much (if at all) until I learned the mechanics and what I can cheese through. We're talking about once you've experienced everything and know what mechanics are coming. If you've cleared A9S, you should know when to anticipate damage and when it's safe to DPS. Or you can take up solo healing the entire fight. There are healers who refuse to DPS ever. They simply won't turn on Cleric Stance even when they're well aware there won't be any incoming damage.
