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

[Taika]

Ive seen the videos and see how healers do it in pro group yes pressing buttons, but in most of those where the healer dpsing 80% of the time, I dont see anyone messing up mechanics, healer just puts regens and thats it, trust tank uses cds appropriately, and thats all that the group seems to require. I dont see people dying randomly, or failing mechanics.

I'd just like to point out that people rarely post the videos where they themselves or their party members mess up, and that's probably why you don't see them. I know I only post our first wins (which are usually smooth because we have pushed ourselves towards that one perfect-enough-to-win run for weeks) and then my team's best run. 99% of my videos consist of silly mistakes, wipes, and messy victories, and those don't get posted. If you want to see good healers performing well (DPS included) in hard content on messy runs, watch streams. Those aren't cherry picked to show only the smoothest runs.

People here are actually doing the content...and as a healer whos doing the hard content, i find time to dps. In almost every fight i have been with the exception of maybe diablo, that guy is something else.

LOL, I feel the same way with Diabolos. If the raid DPS is low, he will absolutely wipe the group spamming his shared-damage AOE over and over again on the MT. No amount of healing will save that. You'll just run OOM.
