Yoshi P to Mr.Happy "Heal DPS is not mandatory and no expectation for Healer to DPS!"

[Hamada]

I thank you for letting us know about this. I play a more passive healing role and only DPS where I feel like we are lacking as the white mage of the party usually. That being said it is a combination of because healers are "healers" not DPS and also a bit of having to keep swapping to cleric stance. I have had instances of where I turn it on and then someone decides to not avoid an AoE or the boss crit the tank so I need to goback to heal but I can't since cleric stance is still on cooldown. Now with SB that won't be an issue anymore but I get the feeling I will still be in the habit of avoiding it when it isn't necessary. Which in this case thanks to Yoshi-P, won't ever be necessary. I shall give you no hate for I agree wholeheartedly with this post.

It is called foresight, you should be able gauge your party's skill level by the time you hit a boss and know when you might need to heal more. (see the story of titan HM my friend ran into today)

Again I ask why is healer the only job hat gets away with not having to mash keys like a madwoman?

Yet again, you may disagree.....but that is your opinion....nothing more. Game design is game design. DPSing as a Healer was designed to be Optional...nothing more or less even if you do disagree with the man who runs the game!

That is a lazy defense, did you even read the story I quoted? Again you did not answer why it is ok healers can get away with being lazy and DPS can't. The game design requres DPS to have fractions of a second tight rotation or DPS suffers considerably, why do healers get to be easy mode?
