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

Do you even know what a strawman argument is?

Anyway, my comment still remains. If you are going to push performance out of other classes, be prepared to push your own in every way possible.

I'm an old FFXI player. We always brought foods for every intense fight. I still do in FFXIV. If you are going to complain about performance from someone else without even maximizing your own, in my eyes you have no right.

The one you just made.

I reiterate, your food usage standard wouldn't exempt healers, thus it's a completely irrelevant argument. It also doesn't address the actual criticism people have towards heal only healers: that they aren't equally contributing. No one is demanding anyone optimize and perform their select role perfectly. They simply want to see an effort put forth. At this current time, content is too undertuned, which leads to healers having frequent amounts of downtime. I recently did Sohm Al Hard and opened with Divine Seal + Regen + Asylum on the tank once she grab everything. Despite having six mobs attacking her, I had to cast Cure II once in roughly 15-20 seconds. Am I to stand around doing nothing because that's precise what would happen if I only healed.
