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

[KDSilver]

There's a funny thing with all of this cause, I'm definitly sure there are some non-dpsing healer who are whining on us that don't even know how to heal properly.

Healers who =>KNOW HOW TO <= stance dance/dps are far more reactive, providing both good heal and dps and have a better mana management.

You can say whatever you want guys, but until the day 100% of the content will ask you to perform heal everytime, any extra heals you do or any moment you watch thing happen, you'll be bad.
Not a bad healer, but a bad player. Especially in Stormblood since you don't even have to stance dance.

By the way...

How does it feel to know that...
You will be dpsing even if don't want to by using assize and earthly star ? And The Lord Card.
I guess you'll feel like you failed at your 100% healer role.

*sight*

I can't be anything else than sarcastic with everything I read.

No one is asking healer to be DPS.
It's learning how your healing action work and helping your group with what your class can do.

DOTS NEVER HURTS and they are almost all INSTANT CAST now.

Side Note/Edit : It's the same on other RPG like in the Final Fantasy series. When your party is at full health, if the healer already has some offensive magic on his toolkit, you'll use it to beat the boss. The best example is Holy which is a White Mage skill (Rosa, Yuna...).
Here, it's the same, except that it's in real time, and you're only playing one job and with people.
