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

[Feyona]

And I'll explain why:

Tanks and Healers have a special relationship separate from DPS, wherin they can directly influence the other, and this means that in raiding, you can pre-plan and suggest when a healer should be doing DPS

Ultimately, raiding isn't a "do what I want" piece of content, and groups really need to listen to each other and sometimes compromise on what they are used to in order to overcome content.

Yes dont think anyone is suggesting that you do what you want and people do need to compromise, pf duties though may be another type of scenario where expectation is set a bit too high for all, and rarely is communication good. So negotiation between healers is lacking. Although you can assess the situation up to a point, it is a little more difficult and therefore carries more risk to do. The expectation at the moment, I have been told is not only healers expected to dps, but dps alot, on Zurvan ex. It may be a possibility that some, not all, groups are kind of expecting a little too much out of healers these days and sounds like its always up to the healer to make sure they carry the group to skip soar just wondering when this trend is going.Not that I wasnt predicting this problem in earlier posts on other threads. It just seems just a little too much as recentl had a tank in dps stance as well at the same time as expecting healers dps while spamming tank with heals. Tank died no soar skip and dps leave cos we 'arnt good enough'
