Dps As Healer

[ShaneDawn]

As a DPS, I also DPS the bare minimum and then more if I want to. There, I said it.

To be honest, people need to stop keeping their heads in their asses. We're talking about group instances; if you have the time to comfortably press more buttons without killing anyone, then do so and help your team. If you're having a hard time just healing, it's ok not to DPS. However, most people are not going to suddenly appreciate healers afking for 10s periods just because Yoshi says "it's ok".

For the same matter, obviously people are not going to appreciate DPS that only 123 and can't even do a proper AoE rotation. Or a Tank that only Flashes to keep enmity. But "it's ok" guys, let's all just play how we want. No need to take your party into consideration as long as you're having fun.

well to be fair a healer is there to heal and keep u alive XD and no sarcastics comments are gona change that role XD
everything else is just an extra element.

To be honest , if u spend 5 min more in a dungeon or 5 min more AFK in Idylshire is not gona change that much in your precious life :P

5 mins each time over 1000 dungeons is 5000 minutes or 416 hours. It adds up if you keep being paired with healers who AFK because their role is too easy.

True, Healing is the Main Job for a Healer, but the fights in this game par Savage are so ridiculously undertuned, that non-DPS healers will find themselves not doing anything for the majority of the runs.

We can concede to the fact, that DPS that can't do acceptable DPS is a bad DPS. A tank that only spams Flash to keep enmity is a bad tank. But the Healer party is the only one justifying standing around for extended periods of time as good play.

Maybe Healing as a whole should be made more intensive for Stormblood? That way healers would actually have to actively Heal instead of either being asked to DPS or being a dead weight 50% of the time by lazing around.

I'm not gonna initiate a vote kick against non-DPS healers, but I'm not gonna acknowledge actively sitting on our hands over several GCDs as a "good" way of playing for any class.

thats ok , tho always have in mind to be not inconvenient to your group ^^ i mean theres so many players with different play styles, mentalitys, and skills or awareness for whatever reason currently in RL someone has.
I can understand why it can be frustrating sometimes when u dont get what u want. It happens to me to.

But as community we can only grow , if we dont make us feel uncomfortable witch each other.
Mmmmh a healer whos uncomfortable with dpsing , is less likely to try to dps , as long theres people who start to immediately bitch coz the tank or someone else died if it happens XD

No one wants to play with someone whos constantly bitching around XD so dont make ur in game life hard by yourself :P

I'll say what I said earlier in the thread. Even if they do make healing more intensive in Stormblood, unless they add a mandatory unavoidable minimum ilevel synch to literally every dungeon, sooner or later we will overgear it and then this entire conversation will just start all over again.
