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

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".

Are you unable to call mechanics while like... pressing buttons?

I was wondering the same, since I've actually been the one actively calling out mechanics for our raid and extreme groups for a long time while healing AND doing damage.

Typically yes i just call mechanics because as healer my eye is focused on where everyone is and what they're doing so calling mechanics is usually my job for the static. But i dont DPS during slower heal times as the Off Healer is doing dps. Its not that i CANT, i just choose not to as my position in the static isnt DPS. Also my DPS are good enough that we dont NEED me to DPS as theirs is very high. If your static is at the stage of NEEDING your healer to DPS then maybe your DPS should start pulling their weight instead of bitching and shoving all your problems onto the healers who already have their hands full keeping you alive ^^

On every page in this thread we're going back to square one because people can't read. Feels like discussing with a wall at this point.
