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

A healer that doesn't heal is just as bad as a healer that doesn't dps. If you can't do both in a casual dungeon, you are bad and unwilling to improve.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I can do both just fine. I just prefer to spend every GCD spamming dps because I like having the excuse to. It would be infinitely more boring if I had to actually heal. I play a healer to spam a simple rotation, not keep people alive~

So you choose to be a brat, for..... reasons. Ok then.

I'm honestly quite unlucky that I encountered so many Healers that just stood there, did nothing, and lost control even though they never attempted to dps. Never even tried to apply Dots or anything, nothing. They stood there, and still let DPS or Tanks on the brink of death or even die because of unavoidable aoe attacks (especially painful for players with lower gear who try to farm stuff and fill their currency). Maybe they're watching TV while running their Dungeons and Raids, or eating, or whatever. Sad to see that there are going to be future Healers that will use what Yoshi-P said just to do nothing. I am not looking forward to who will just stand there and do nothing or ASTs that never even play their cards. Imo playing a Healer must be boring when you just stand around and press a button or two sometimes, not using the full potential
I really do hope that the upcoming Dungeons and Raids will require much more healing lol

But-But-But... why else am I gonna let my party intentionally wipe if I don't spend my entire time dpsing? The healer must dps meta is my excuse to not heal my groups, without that excuse I'll have to actually do my jerb...

Or you can be a good healer and do both.

Edit: Oh, sorry, saw your other post. My answer would be the same than Aramina.

Well, my job as a healer is to make sure everything dies, rather than keeping people alive. I've kinda given up fighting it, so I'll just embrace the meta wholeheartedly~

Except people don't actually say that, you just feel like being a child which is whatever, but at least admit it. The meta is dps when there is no healing to do, as you full well know.

Agreed. Seeing as how I still see healers struggle with the Vault at high item levels to this day without casting a single DPS spell, this would make healing impossible for a lot of players.

See this is actually the reason i love the vault. half the time i straight up *can't* dps in there. going in on AST i just keep praying for Boles so i can get off a couple gravities. I kinda understand why you wouldn't trust people to be able to heal it though cos back when i was a scrubby ass noob i wiped so many times in my first run.

I am going to quote a person from youtube named Sotrubaby when he stated "When you EXPECT a healer to dps, you EXPECT a dps to heal you". That is all that needs to be said!

Most DPS don't have a healing spell they can spam, so if they do heal it'll be once every 60 seconds or so. Healers, on the other hand, have DPS skills. So they should also be using those, should those DPS heal.

Are his/her reasons any less valid than your reasons which are based your individual preferences and opinions? no they are not. Resulting to name calling offers little in swaying people towards your opinion.

Red Mage actually has a very strong healing spell, it seems. I wonder if people are aware of that.
