Stupid reason to report someone

[DarkB]

And this is where you're wrong. The game (and therefor the devs) are expecting healers to deal damage. While their main focus might be healing its pretty clear and obvious that you should be dpsing if you dont have to heal. Again, the game is telling you so itself in the "tutorial" kinda thing. Healers have to stop denying that its also their duty to deal damage. You have the skills for it - use them! Dont just sit there and wiggle your thumbs (specially a scholar could practically just hit auto-follow; done expert with a friend of mine yesterday, he healed me like three or four times while the fairy did the rest and he was basically a third dps) and dont defend such behaviour. While it might not be a reason to report someone, it is a reason to kick that person. And when I can finish a dungeon without a lazy-ass leeching healer as good as with him jumping around me, casting a cure every minute, I will.

this is completely wrong and inaccurate. The game does not expect healers to deal damage. Its part of a very old content that came out when people couldnt even figure out the optimal dps rotation on top of lacking the appropriate ILVL gear. Now some people adopted the healer dps strategy to proceed further into clearing the content to be faster instead of waiting to be geared up, but that has nothing to do with the fact that you need to dps as a healer or a tank.

i've seen so many wipes caused by healers that instead of healing were dpsing, or tanks that switched to deliverance because they wanted to dps and they got annihilated by the next mechanic in their face.
you want to dps? go dps.

Actually no, the novice-stuff that inculdes those tutorials is not very old content; it was introduced together with the mentor-system. Just because savage isnt relying a 100% on Healer-dps doesnt mean that healers arent meant to dps.
