    I have literally used the example of a BRD refusing to sing in comparison to a healer who refuses to DPS in this very thread. For example here:

Just like a BRD who refuses to sing when they could boost their caster DPS or their healer has died and needs MP is a hinderance to their group. Bard songs aren't required for clearing any content, either, but it doesn't make it any more acceptable to refuse singing.
    If a BRD player was to start a thread on DPS forums about how they shouldn't be required to sing, I can promise the reactions to that would be exactly the same than they are in this thread towards healers who refuse to DPS.

    The main difference between the two is that somehow some people are actively defending a healer who argues refusing to DPS should be considered a valid play style (within the current meta), while you're very unlikely to find anyone to defend a BRD who refuses to sing. I've said it before:

If a DRG (or literally any other job than a healer) would start a similar discussion about feeling too stressed about having to use their full rotation and all buffs, especially in the difficult content like Savage, and wishing to choose to use only half of their abilities instead because of that, absolutely no one would support that. But for some weird reason some people think we should accept that for healers - and healers only.
