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

[Lambdafish]

I was refering to the fact that sub par dps are expecting healers to carry them sufficiently to skip soar which dps should be able to acheive by themselves even with 70% of their potential. I hope that I get that point across sufficiently without having to explain it again.

I think the only person who has said that is you actually. The situation isn't you aiding sub-par DPS, the situation is that everyone should be DPS to their fullest in that first phase because it is a massive DPS gap (remember those? we talked about them, and you said that you struggled to identify them). There is no outgoing damage unless someone messes up, and DPSing hard enough nets you a phase skip. EVERYONE should have DPS on full.

Even if it were the case that DPS was lacking and the party couldn't skip soar, the sheer refusal to DPS as a healer, given the above statement is not valid in the slightest.
