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

[Hamada]

"Healer DPS is not mandatory", said the madman that tunes Savage to be cleared by above minimum ilvl 80-90% dummy rotation performing damage dealers.
Now tell me how healer dps is not mandatory to clear content without waiting for gear,therefore making content's life longer by a gear wall.
Ah yeah, if it wasn't like that you would then complain about the gear wall. Healer dps is a contribution to the team, like tanks optimizing cds/doing dps and dps using support/healing/defensive cds.
*slow clap*

Even if I don't agree with Mr Yoshida latests decisitions, I have respect for the man. That doesn't exempt him from making statements like this that are contradictory with the game's design, which makes it a stupid statement. He's a hard working and respectable developer, but sometimes he just needs to take a step back to take a look at his game and weight what he's going to say in anticipation.

Agreed.

Does he know a nondps healer is played like this:

IS THAT WHAT THE GAME IS INTENDING?

Yup, if the healer is keeping you alive then they are doing their job. That is factual game design even if you do not like it. As I have stated to everyone, try to get employed at SE and change FF14 for healers to dps as mandatory. Til then....nothing more needs to be said.

This sounds like a group project in highschool.
There's 4 students, one jumps up and says, "I wanna be the ideas person!!" The rest of the group sort of sighs and says ok.
The project starts, the ideas person does in fact come up with ideas, awesome. Work on the project starts, the ideas person is now on their phone. When asked why they aren't helping. "I come up with ideas! You guys do the rest! I only wanted to do ideas! Don't tell me what to do!!"

"Just healing" doesn't require full-time attention/effort in equivalence to tanking or dpsing properly. You have a right to be lazy, sure. Others have a right to call you out on it and potentially kick you if they want.

I personally don't even care in roulettes, but I'll continue to DPS as a healer myself, because I try to be considerate of others.
