Will Healers Still be Forced to DPS in 4.0 Due to Lax Content?

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Thank you for this intelligent response, ignoring my point entirely to blame healers some more is one of the biggest issues I have with this games player base

Im saying I often pull TOP DPS as a healer. As in, my 1500 DPS is the top DPS in the team. True I don't expect a DRG to pull an extra 1k DPS, but as I don't see many DRGs in casual content even pulling 1k DPS, why does it then become the healers job to carry abysmal DPS?

Also I fail to see where kicking a healer out for not carrying poor DPS saves you any time, but if you want to wait around for in progress joins it's your free time not mine to waste.

And thank you for completely missing mine.

I couldn't care less what you pull nor did I indicate otherwise. My focus is your shifting of blame towards the DPS, who already take fair criticism for bad play. Just so we're clear. Even a subpar Dragoon is still contributing whereas a heal only healers is effectively useless upwards of 80%. I'll roll my eyes at both, however at least one is going something. It should also be noted healers pulling ahead of melee DPS on trash pulls is not necessarily a slight against them. Healers have incredibly burst potential where melee DPS require a bit of setup to push out higher numbers. If stuff dies fast enough, they simply won't have time. If it happens during bosses... they have no excuse.

I seldom kick anyone. The one exception is healers who hop around the map when they have nothing to heal.
