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

[Feyona]

No one cares that you do 1k dmg a raid, even i would find that difficult to do at times without pots and food. You are already a normal player and don't really need to defend the players who enjoy healing only. You are not the one we end up getting mad at, the ones who don't try are the ones. So yes maybe you are wasting your time, not because of what you think, but because you were never really the target of our main criticism in the first place. You try and are willing to take advice and grow and learn. There is nothing wrong with that. It's only the entitled player who don't even try who are the ones we criticize. I deal with toxic players all the time too, not all of us are dps edge lords, i don't parse anyone at all i just expect players to not stand around during a fight and constantly be at full mp.

Thanks for your reply I am listeng to people that at least cosidering the points Ive raised

[Cleftobismal]

Do you know how to use the Edit function? Your quadruple posting is getting a bit nuts.

Cos two people disagreed with you. Thanks for proving my point.

As for this ^

I have summoner at 252 cant dps for shit, 700dps was last parser I saw on thordan not cos Im not trying, but cos Im shit full stop. That is why I play healer.

You said it not me. I don't need these imaginary people to disagree with me about your self esteem levels.

And you seem to have some real control issues that almost seemed to give you a breakdown the other night.

Let me introduce you to a brand that values and cares for your confidence levels. May it forever empower you.



Because you're worth it ~

This is probably my favorite post of yours.

DoTs between heals, sometimes forgetting to use CS. I'm generally okay with that, and I think many other players of a similar mindset are okay as long as they perceive effort. It's the blatant standing around, jumping in place, or mid-fight chest-opening tours that piss people off.

Thank you for your reply I do understand how things in instaces that can become irritating, like an ast that casts aspected heios in noctural field right after ive done an adlo spread. I guess because we are all thrown together its better to try make the most of it. I dont think anyone Ive played with could accuse me of not trying. Some people here have assumed that I dont. Im end game though its not that I dont know what Im talking about. some here that say what a healer should do dont even play one

Cleftobismal what IS yor problem? You seem to have a personal issue with me, get over it before it becomes an obsession

Yah lost me. Your accusations about anything are getting worse by the posts. I wish you the best.

Tell me where I said specifically it was you that I was talking about

Its confusing with the way you type. And also you quoted me.

Yes sorry ( meant genuinely) I will try to type better as well as play better. I know I type badly sometimes, Those were just specific replies to mine I guess, my comments were not, initially aimed anyone personally, just how players are.In general. Just seemed to get personal in the end. Typing on a controller btw.

The responses are getting very immature here. If you have nothing to say of worth, just do that; say nothing, post nothing. Sometimes not having the last word has a bigger impact than a poorly veiled insult and dismissal.

I main heals. I play every healer job, and I like to consider myself a healer specialist (of sorts). I completely agree that healers should at least try to dps while in fights, especially in endgame content. I truely believe that it really helps to boost a person\\'s reaction time significantly.

My static and I have been working very hard to beat a11s. Thanks to us healers assisting with the dps, we are able to push some of the really difficult phases, making our jobs easier. In a11, there are tons of spots where there\\'s downtime (no healing needed), and even main healers should assist with at least putting up dots. It makes a huge difference. It seriously helps to make the whole groups job easier, as well as make the chance you\\'ll clear higher.

It's okay to not be good at stance dancing, but even just putting up dots helps A LOT.

On a serious note: Those who use parsers, don't say it on the forums. Technically it is a third party and people do get banned for using them once reported.
