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

You are linking top AoE Dps of savage raids while I'm pretty sure LunarEmerald meant dungeon runs. (60/exp).

Cant really have my MP sucked dry by spamming Holy in savage raids...but I usually have plenty of time to recover my MP inbetween pulls in a dungeon.
And I'm telling you there are some pulls where hardly anyone can beat my AoE Dps. (Aero III -> Holy -> Swiftcast Holy -> Assize -> Continue Holy Spam...depending on the situation/overall dps/pull you can use Presence of Mind in the beginning as well for another +20% castspeed and ofc Shroud of Saints to sustain your MP...I keep those for the larger pulls).
My friend REALLY dishes out some serious dps as a SMN, he mains it, hes a beast. But on some pulls he simply CANT overtake me.
for example, If I end up in Baelsar's Wall and we are on this moving platform, I'll always ask BRD/MCH (if available) to refill my MP
INBETWEEN pulls, cos my dps is BRUTAL there.
Some good BRDs/MCHs will generally do this inbetween pulls though. (Heck, I can even precast my Holy there before the mobs are attackable, because Holy doesnt need a target xD its glorious!)

WHMs usually dont finish first in overall DPS though, because we drop down during boss fights (although we can still sustain a pretty decent amount of dps there too).


So really, we are solely talking about the moment the AoEs hit the large packs, not about the overall dps you see in the end(which is what the parsers will show). We will never win that (unless the dps dont know what theyre doing at all...)

No actually... it that you can't see the DoT damage in your chat log...

At level 50 and ONLY an ILVL 70.... My DoTs are doing 360-370 AoE damage per tick when stacked... and that's before I step up and do Bliz 2 Spam adding another 110 damage per tick... and not even getting into the Pet damage.

Those upper end Summoners you see in the FFXLOG I posted like are level 60 and in ILVL 280.... so their DoTs are likely doing AoE ticks for a good 2000 or more per tick, before they even get into the spells, deathwyrm, and pet damage.

That's why their DPS is 4K while the WHM is only at 2K max. But hey... give it time I'll be there too... the WHM will not.
