Your argument is not logical and you still haven't presented any actual arguments for why should healers be expected to only heal. Is there anything else to it apart from the role name or the assumed developers' intention, neither of which have anything to do with how the game actually works and thus should not have any standing in this discussion.
Funny, because you are the one who is actually being illogical here. You are going directly against quotes in-game and by the lead of this game because of what you think and not what is.

How about some quotes in-game?



Oh? What's that? "primary role" you say? I suppose it was that simple.

And I wonder what a Bard does? Hmm..surely a class labeled as "DPS" with a bow and it's core design aesthetic and name being based around music might just be relating to that?
