Healers that don't want to DPS are like DPSes who refuse to move out of AoEs.

You're wrong Lexia actually. ^^
I'm not the only one but, trust me, we can be able to dps and save some lives even if they fail some mecanics that does damages.

It's make part of knowing its class very well.

Not everyone plays video games to master them, they play for fun and enjoyment. This is very apparent that it caters to casual players so the hardcore gotta master the game is in the minority, with the way SE treats the game.

You said that dpsing didn't allow to save someone life.
I'm telling you that it is actually possible if you know your class very well.

That's all.
Dpsing includes the fact that you know what you're doing.
If you're a casual gamer that nearly know healing, don't play very much, well it's better not to dps at all.

Let's not mix everything.
And by the way, if I may... mastering is also a form of fun or enjoyment you know.

It depends the player's profile.

Quote me where I said that, in that exact phrase or least some where close to it.

Because rather than seeing a healer as a functional part of the group, they are perceived as a burden to be carried along for those rare moments the heroic tank and valiant dps actually get into trouble they cannot burst down before they have to engage their brains to do complicated stuff like "fight mechanics"

I think maybe you should stick to single player games. Calling out around 4/5 of the population, and basically calling them idiots, is not exactly the attitude to have in a game that takes cooperation with the rest of the population you're calling brain dead.

Exactly. The problem is, the OP is berating any healer that doesn't heal. Healers should DPS if they can/want, but shouldn't be required to. As an AST, I even added piety to my anima just so I could keep the orbital bombardments dropping and dubstep cannon firing, but that should be my choice, not requirement.

Well this => If I'm the healer I will heal you but it comes to a point that even a healer can't heal you quick enough if you eating stuff left and right.

At least that's what I understood.

You do know how to use the reply/quote function right? Like you see in my posts? ^ and yes some fights are AoE intensive and if you have a dps standing in every single one they can find which you are going to have to be healing them instead of dpsing. Cause last I checked healing ability is crap if in cleric stance and dps power is pretty low with it off. Anyways I mainly play dps anyways so don't have to worry about me being a crappy whm.

My point of the original post was "person stands in crap all the time they going to die unless I'm healing them which means having to spend more time healing and less time dpsing" Which was the reply to the OP.

It's attitudes like this that make me want to stop maining a heal.
I didn't call out anyone for being anything, merely noting how people perceive the heal in their group.
Take a chill pill and read it again. Seems you were confused the first time.

When I play dps or tank I don't care if the healer is dpsing as long as the party is alive because regular dungeons and normal trials aren't savage raids or ex primals

You don't know me OR anyone I play with, so saying that tanks and dps view healers as "burdens" until they have to engage their brains to avoid mechanics, as you say, is an insult. Maybe be a bit more careful in how you word things in the future.
