As a healer, is it my job to DPS? A new perspective.

[Taika]

content is officially not designed with healer dps in mind, although it helps a lot at several dps checks - true. I can understand why Fey is so stubborn about this... because "saying" the game and jobs are designed for this manner is just not true - and even its proofed by different user with different dev-quotes

This is exactly what I said: you and some others are basing your arguments on extrinsic factors like developer comments which have nothing to do with actual gameplay. While the other side is looking at how the game actually works. And because the developers have obviously designed the game as it actually is, it's a fair argument to make that things like healer DPS is part of developers' intended design (because they have all the power to disable it), and what they say have no relevance to the discussion (since what they say has no actual impact on gameplay).

uhh if someone who build something and explained his intentions behind it - u can't say its untrue and for at least one side you mentioned it got a high relevance o.o

Once again, this is a perfect example of what I was describing, that you and some other people are viewing this as a valid basis for the discussion. While others, like myself, are not, because I don't care how the game is described to work, I only care how it actually works. It's like in FFXI, when the developers designed Ninja as a DPS job, and it ended up being a tank - because that's how it worked the most effectively. The developers could talk as much as they wanted about how it was supposed to be a DPS job, but in the actual game it was played as a tank.
