Dps As Healer

[DamianFatale]

Just to clarify, I DO dps, and I'm pretty good at it. I just don't feel like it is required. If you're exhausted, sick, or just having a bad day, do not feel forced to dps. It's much better to keep the party alive, and go at whatever pace you want. Be comfortable when you have to be.

Can I use this excuse to not keep BotD up? I'm having a bad day and it's just too much effort to manage all my oGCDs. What about defensive cooldowns? I just want to Fell Cleave for days and blowing Vengeance and Raw Intuition means more Fell Cleaves or Decimates.

Not doing damage as a DPS and focusing on DPS as a tank are not interchangeable with not DPSing as a healer. Excellent healers attack. Good healers keep the party alive. In any case, in case someone's having a bad day I never complain on things like Expert Roulette. Those are there to be friendly. If someone's having a bad day, just be nice.

Not doing damage as a DPS and focusing on DPS as a tank are not comparable to not DPSing as a healer. Excellent healers attack. Good healers keep the party alive.

No player can be classified as good if they ignore a third of their toolkit and spend half the fight standing around doing nothing. By technical definition, a tank only has to maintain aggro. I can easily do that by spamming Flash. Not using cooldowns does not mean I'll lose hate. It only makes the job harder for the healer. Likewise, my only requirement as a DPS is to deal damage. There is not stipulation on how much damage that entails.

This has been an ongoing debate on the healer forum. Someone made a video where she did Xelphatol with FC members and literally spent 80% of the dungeon jumping around the map and spamming emotes. Her contributions were that low. Does this sound like a good player?

Was looking for it actually. Found it!

If they didn't let anyone die then yeah, yeah they do sound like a good player.

Does this criteria apply to tanks? As per my example, a tank spamming Flash will maintain aggro. I guess that makes them a good player too.

So the godly dps matchign buttons every 1-2 seconds is less then a good player then one that hits one every 5 minutes?

Hyperbole really isn't a good way to argue your point.
