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

[Judge_Xero]

I see here is posts that state that healers got nothing else to do but dps in between healing, either your in low content, or your in good groups, the majority of groups Im in you dont get the space really, like I said I can perform to 'maximum efficiency' if im with a good healer and with a good team. I join alot of casual groups that do require both healers usually. I am a very active player that helps alot of people clear too. In my experience most groups need alot of healing, not dps. Many of you may just play with friends or statics, which is a completey different scenario

While agree with your statement that good groups do make fights easier to DPS, it still makes me wonder why on your logs a SCH would need to cast Succor 22 times in A9S. Also with the large groups of mobs why a SCH would not cast 1 Bane. Visibly the WHM had the entire fight under control and due to the low gear level needed 2 Succor's for Acid Rain and Adlo for the Scrapline Tank Buster and possibly an Indom for the Faust AOE. The Fairy offered enough single target healing coupled with Rouse for when the Faust was out and Regens to sustain both Tanks.

Not to toot my own horn, but under near identical conditions I found the opportunity to perform 10X more damage back in Novemeber. This created a large reduction in the required TP for Melee Classes which in turn increased damage dealt directly to the boss and reduced fight time by 120 seconds.

I was almost capped on acc but took some off cos Im wmg now. I have been 'trained' in scholar. Im working at it, but not using it for static atm. Dont really want to play hardcore Im just enjoying progressing in a11s. Which I feel our team is good enough to do.

Awesome well I'm glad you are progressing well. A11 is the first large hurdle for most groups. ACC is still nice on WHM for any opportunities where you can DPS since the other secondary stats don't really do a whole lot in comparison.
