    Which does nothing to disprove the original assertion, which is that healer dps doesn't add nearly as much as people like to think it does, instead just covering for sub-par dps.

    My personal experience after farming lore in Gubal Hard for 4 relics is that every 500 dps lowers the total run time by around 1 minute, for that particular dungeon at least. As a healer I was typically doing 1500-1700 dps throughout the dungeon, which would account for about 3 minutes of the run time compared to a healer that would do nothing but healing.

    Considering a decent healers DPS can come within 75% of a decent DPS in a dungeon scene on trash packs (Or more), that's like saying that having one of the DPS not DPS doesn't do that much in the first place.

    And you really need to stop insinuating people are arguing that Healers are replacing DPS instead of adding to it with comments like "covering for sub-par dps" that you love to throw into these threads. Nobody is arguing that healers DPSing is an opportunity for a DPS to slow down. Nobody. It's great when people can have open dialogue about opinions on the matter, but fighting arguments that were never made isn't helping either side.

    From my perspective, the majority of DPSers that I get in roulette are sub par.

    Makes me wish logs did a better job of handling dungeons, it'd be much easier to just upload everything to give some easy to read figures for this.
