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

I only have to ask healers who only heal one thing. What do you do when no one needs healing? Stand still twiddling your thumbs? At what point does a DPS or a tank get to stand still and have a lovely little rest?

This is just how my team works but for us if there's a pause in healing i usually focus on calling out mechanics and reminding people of the next steps so there's no tunnel vision (*We used to have the mechanics TS bot but the owner left the static*)
Healers aren't the role of front line and they stay at the back with ranged classes (typically anyway) so yes, their game has a slower pace.

I do get why people think that healers should dps in their free time simply because the skills to do so are given to them but that doesn't mean its a solid enough reason to dismiss people who "heal only".

As an AST I play with cards.
A DPS can rest if there is nothing alive that need to get hit. A tank can rest if nothing is alive that can hit the party members.

Translation: can rest if the party AFKs? how can you not have a target to hit in this game lol.

An off tank can rest (afk) while there are no adds to tank or tank swaps to be made?
