Dps As Healer

[Hyperia]

We also need to remember that the devs are aware that a good chunk of people who choose to play a healer want to heal and don't care about DPS. If they wanted to DPS, they would have rolled a DPS class. They have access to better metrics than we ever will. I'm expecting the new content in Stormblood to be healing intensive enough to see that the healers who do DPS will be in the single digit percentile.

Oh and to the people who think that a healer who is not always casting is lazy... sometimes its nice to play a class where its not always 100% go go go go go. The little pauses are a nice stress reliever for those who want to have a nice job, keep people alive and relax. If your DPS players are complaining that the run is not going fast enough, dont look at the tank or healer to bolster your DPS, look in the mirror first.

Do I DPS? Sure do, when I want to or when I am comfortable doing so. I don't always do so, especially when I don't feel comfortable with the group and its dynamics. Though, even on those runs when I could DPS, sometimes I don't. Why? Well, because I got off of my full time job, finished taking care of my family and want to enjoy a nice dungeon run without the added stress of doing max numbers, perfect rotations and totally optimized performance. I do that enough in Savage raiding, sometimes I just want to chill.
