Baldurs Gate/DnD in general/quite every other RPG: Cleric/Druid will hit enemies or cast offensive/cc spells if no one needs healing (unless player character lore forbids)

Pacifism is not part of the healer meta! [/b]
Pretty sure you don't get the point of my post. I'm not saying that Healer's should never dps. I am saying that it should never be EXPECTED by anyone. A healer's #1 priority is healing, not DPS.

Also, don't compare different platforms. The whole point of a FPS is to shoot a gun .... If you don't shoot a gun you will fail in a FPS. Real life War should never be compared to anything digital ... ever.
