    Also please note that I'm not saying I think tanks and healers contributing to dps is bad - I think it is awesome and put out as much damage as I can on both roles, personally. The thing I find issue with are the posts saying people will kick or harass healers/tanks who don't put out enough dps or ridicule as 'bad' those players who choose to play their intended role in a way comfortable for them. They didn't sign up to dps, so any they do should be accepted as a nice bonus, but not expected and abused if not done.

    And I'm not ranting, actually, though it does piss me off when I see extremely sub-par dps complain about healer/tank dps who are actually doing more dps than they are...I mean, yes - please let me keep you alive and help the dungeon go faster while also doing more dps than someone who actually signed up for that role...

    so stop dpsing and watch them kill stuff painfully slow ...thats a legit moment to call the DPS out on their bs. dont even need a parser to see when dps are trying to get a carry.
    I've started doing that and at least sometimes, it makes people miraculously wake up. Its simple, why would I put double effort as a healer when they arent?

    You want to enjoy a real slow dungeon run? Sure, be me guest then.


    People need to start calling DPS out on their bs. It doesnt mean youre gonna get banned for parsing. Just gotta be a bit smart about how you do it.

    or "You haven't cast a single fire IV" / "Use your goddamn songs". People already do call DPS out on their BS.

    The people who are saying this are in the minority. Most players don't care if you don't DPS at all as a healer or stay in tank stance throughout a whole run.
