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

[Feyona]

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:



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:

You cant compare a bard to a healer though because bard is dps and stays dps to sing. A better example would be an ast not using cards. Dps is a different role to healer it isnt one role, and the difference to me is like the difference between choosing a dps class to play or a healer. Dps IS a different playstyle, and would like that choice back. That was orinally intended in the design of the game. And I dont care if some want to dps or not but would like it optional
