Should healers now be allowed to play how they choose to play?

[bounddreamer]

There is a big but here, can I start dpsing in a 15 sec window on Zurvan ex or a10s? No I cant.

Calling B.S. here.

1. Zurvan phase one: very little damage going out. Crit a shield on the tank, switch to CS, co-healer casts a regen, both of us are in cleric stance for the full opener, maaaaaybe a tetra or essential dignity for one of the dps who ate an aoe to keep dpsing (perfectly acceptable). Both healers have about 99% dps uptime.

2. Zurvan phase two: reapply party shields, reapply tank shield, disable Zurvan, as the off healer I have almost 99% dps uptime in this phase unless someone Does A Dumb. As the main healer I reapply dots and focus target and cast a regen and keep the tank topped off, and reapply dots during/after Biting Halberd.

3. Zurvan phase three: adds phase requires good synergy with your co-healer. As off healer I can usually throw out some gravities on groups, apply dots to wiles, then synystry the tank through the critical hit adds until they're dead, then more dots and gravities. As main healer that phase is mostly healing.

4. Zurvan phase four: Even as main or off healer in this phase there is time to apply dots if you're in there with a good co-healer.

Is healing the first priority? Yes. But there's a reason this fight can be solo healed; the healing requirements are not difficult if you have a good party and your co-healer is worth their job crystal.
