Yes, yes! Push the healer must dps meta! I like being able to relax and take screenshots mid fight. ouo

This is not true, these are two entirely separate issues. No one is saying healers should DPS to cover DDs' slack. What's being said is that healers should DPS because otherwise they're being much less inactive than any other roles (a healer can get by casting 1 heal every 20 seconds while tanks and DDs are using all of their GCDs - and then some).

Factually incorrect. Dps have no responsibility in this game because healers are so happy to carry them. If what you're saying was true, people would actually be pushing for the dps to be better instead of demanding healers carry them. Trying to say otherwise stinks of hypocrisy.

What?

Someone mentioned it earlier in the thread - both DPS and tanks (assuming that they are players who aren't half-assing content), are always doing something. If a healer is JUST healing, I can guaran-frickin'-tee they are going to have down time unless they are overhealing like it is going out of style.

Moreover, as I previously mentioned, it isn't about carrying anyone. Adding more DPS to a given run (dungeon, primal, raid, etc) doesn't take ANYTHING away from the run assuming that the healer is doing their primary job of keeping everyone alive.

To reiterate, there IS NO CAP ON DAMAGE.

If I were to take your statement and put it in the context of savage-tier raiding, it just becomes absurd. DPS have to work just as hard as everyone else when it comes to raiding (lest they get dropped like a hot rock), and if the healer is able to provide some damage to ensure things go more smoothly, that isn't a carry.

None of this is difficult to grasp. I think the majority of players just want people to TRY. This applies to everyone, not just healers.
