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

[bounddreamer]

Im not disagreeing with you, but in the context of healer dps which is what we are talking about I am obviousy able to do it without it. So the qualified to do it in that context doesnt really apply. I still feel apart from that if anyone works hard enough to get there they can, not just based on whether anyone else thinks they can. Groups are different anyone can have whoever they want in them true, but I wouldnt use the word non qualified to describe a non dps healer

So by that virtue because you are able to do it, everyone should be able to?

You yourself have argued against people expecting just because "I" can do something, I shouldn't be able to expect everyone else to do the same.

I'm trying to establish a baseline for discussion. The baseline is savage endgame content. The standard of play expected from those who can clear it is higher than that of the average player. Therefore, the higher than average player is one that generally, though not always, will add dps as well as heal if they are choosing to tackle savage content.

Or, for healers who choose to heal only, I've seen them solo heal pre-Echo. Been on a few of those clears myself and they're pretty amazing. But everyone has to perform their role perfectly to minimize stress on the healer and eliminate the need to waste mp on raises.

Just throwing it out there but there are people who main heal and don't provide any dps at all who still can't do it. Tried and failed. If it was so easy, that savage clear rate would be a lot higher across the entire player base.
