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

[Lambdafish]

Lol. I'm sure this game doesn't have to worry about such ultimatums. You and they won't quit and even if you did you'll be back. It's how this game and it's community works. Largely due to one simple fact... there is nothing else unless you want to play WoW.

Oh, they won't quit, but they might decide to play one of those flashy new DPS jobs. People complain about how DPS queues will be long because we got 2 DPS in the expansion, but then completely forget the fact that it is vital to make healers and tanks as appealing as possible to compensate.

Healers across the board have had too many strikes, no new healer is strike 1, WHM being bad is strike 2, and now this attitude of Yoshi Ps (which contradicts the design of content) dividing the community is strike 3, that's a bit much controversy considering how important it is for players to continue playing healer instead of trying the brand new expansion jobs.

It's interesting that some keep thinking that those endlessly fighting about "WHM being bad" or this kind of minutiae on forum and social media are any representation of the "community."

The community is made by hundreds of thousands of players, the vast majority of which never reads forums or reddit, care only if their job is enjoyable, and can't care one bit about a bunch of people in a hellhole of a forum bickering about tooltips that aren't even final.

Dude let me tell you, if I had an option to select a queue for my dungeon roulettes that only queued me in with healers who dps'd I would use that queue every single time as long as the wait time wasn't over an hour and a half. All the honest healers disappearing off the face of Eorzea would make me just as happy as can be. Now if we could get rid of the dps who insist on single target rotations in AE situations too, that would be the best.

I don't believe you for a second. You'd be finished a run in the time you'd be waiting even if the healer wasn't dpsing.

I have plenty of junk to be doing in game that isn't carrying lazy healers through content and even if I set aside the plethora of available in game content I can do while queued, I've got a 2nd monitor and my ps4 is in the same room as my computer. Long queue times have never bothered me *stares off into the middle distance, remembering 3 hour frontlines queues back around 3.2.*
