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

[bounddreamer]

but its not optional any more its being forced on healers to do and gone too far that way.

If I remember correctly, didn't you attempt Alex Savage with a group, and refused as a SCH to dps, and switched from SCH main to another healing job?

You're not going to change the endgame meta of this raiding tier because you don't like it. Healers add dps in savage for faster clears and phase pushing which means less party damage. Our SCH is in dps mode for most of the time in A9-A11S except for key spot healing/shielding/deployed critlos.

It seems to me like you're taking your bad endgame experience and airing it on the forum and trying to apply it at all levels.

No one's going to kick a CNJ in Sastasha for not stance dancing.

Refused? No that wasnt the case I tried, but couldnt get the space in a10s while learning the fight. Up to the week before that fight it was ok for me to heal, which I had always done in the group. My healing is fine. Strangely before then I didnt even know it wasnt ok for a scholar to heal. After being kicked a hard core group wanted to train me pro scholar but group split up cos of drama on a10s. Found trying to do both roles very hard on a10s.Cos was learng fight as well, nearly gave game up. But someone offered place instatic on wmg. Even if you want to think bad of me cos its suits your argument fine I can live with that. Oh and sorry, but thats why I can say from experience that it isnt always so easy. Oh and there goes the likes every time someone has a pokeat me

Iirc, she was kicked for having extremely low dps for a sch. I don't remember which thread, but she came in one of those older "omg healers have to dps???" threads complaining about it. People looked at her parses on fflogs and I think the problem is that she doesn't really learn when damage comes, she just waits for people to take damage then heals them more than she needs to. On the few occasions where she did contribute to dps, she rarely used cleric stance, if at all.

700 dps, on the last parse posted to be exact after I was trained. No one asked me to dps before then, it was my first static and mostly my first regular experience of proper raiding before then. Never stood around my healing was about 30% overheal I think but my ACTIVE time was around 95% the other healeranted to dps. Whole group was learning at the time Just want to add here that I thought you were tolerent of people learning. Did you know this static was just meant to be a casual fun group? I was only told a week before I was kicked that they wanted me to dps. And truly was not aware that real raiders only tolerate dps sch

This is a flat out lie. I checked your parses just now and neither Scholar nor White Mage boasts above 200. On your server, 700 would place you at 57th percentile against Refurbisher and 52nd on Lamebricks. If you were pulling that high, you wouldn't be nearly as vehemently against DPSing as a healer.
