    I agree with this completely.

    The whole "I shouldn't need to DPS because the content is easy" argument makes me chuckle quite a bit..

    If it's so easy then you also shouldn't need to heal much. So you might as well DPS isntead of standing around, in order to speed things up and help yourself and other people do another run or get on with their other in-game needs sooner.

    I agree with the OP, you do you, and I won't rage at you for not casting offensive spells as a healer.. However I also won't commend you if you don't put in that extra effort where you can.

    It depend on the other 3 people in the party.
    Sometimes you have enough time to do dmg, sometimes someone get hit by every AoE

    My opinion is that we need more bees.

    I mean, sure. That's a given and pretty much didn't need to be said.

    If people are getting hit a lot and/or dying then sure.. No one in this endless healer should DPS argument ever suggests that DPS should be the priority for a healer.

    However in easier content, as the OP suggests, the danger of dying is very minimal. The argument that the content is casual content "so I shouldn't need to DPS on healer" is quite frankly stupid. I believe that's the angle the OP is coming from.

    If you have the time to DPS, and in casual content that is most often the case, then you should be encouraged to toss out some offensive spells. If you don't then you will likely just get less commends.

    Just to add to the ridiculousness of the thread .... Do you know that the sky looks blue?
