The game's training quests and the very story itself is telling you that the "I only want to heal" mentality is bad.
I don't begrudge anyone who comes to this for the first time looking to play a healer and only wants to heal. As far as I'm concerned that's their only job and everything else is a bonus. Do they have offensive tools. Well of course they do. They need something for solo content and main story progression afterall. I've always hated the "healer has to DPS" meta this game has created. So many complain when they see a healer in a dungeon just standing around not doing anything, if everyone is topped off. Me? If we're all standing then in my book they've done their job. Now it's my job to kill the trash and the tanks job to hold aggro.
