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

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Just curious do you play healer in Alexander savage? Because you sound like you know alot about what a healer can do and even how they think apprently

No, but I know the roles and have played with plenty of very skilled healers. One managed to pull over 1,200 DPS on his opening rotation in A11S. That amount of raid contribution is immense, and while many wouldn't be able to pull it off. Even half as much still contributes substantially to the raid.

How is my experiences false? I specifically stated "I find," thus insinuating a subjective stance. Likewise, I also said my "assumptions" towards healers only stems to those who willfully gimp themselves by refusing to DPS out of principle. You've seen enough of my posts to know I actually support weakening healing potency or readjusting content in some manner to better emphasize healing. Nonetheless, until that happens, any healer who refuses to adapt to FFXIV's design is lazy.
