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

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?

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.
