What is this new anti dps healer attitude?

[Jade3173]

If I get a lazy healer who wont DPS and tops me off whenever I fall below 99% HP, I will speed run, mass pull, chain pull etc. and put their ass to work.

Yes! Love this so much. As someone that did the MSQ as AST (friend as PLD) I did easily find time to DPS. Now though for a change of pace I've gone BRD (so much support!) and I make sure to pop my 20% increased healing on my tank when he does the big pulls and once that is off I'll give him a nice 20% physical damage reduction so that the healers have less to heal and can do some nice damage.

One of the new scholar abilities, Excogitation, doesn't even trigger until you drop below 50%.

Oh don't get me wrong, that's just me being a worry wort. I still trust my group completely. You have to in these roulettes it helps everyone move along well together.

This all boils down to players making sound judgements

There is absolutely no issues for a healer to do DPS in cases where the party is cruising through encounters. What is the point in a healer standing idle during a 30 second encounter, where a maximum of 2-3 heals is sufficient to keep the tank (group) in a good health standing. 80% of healers time is wasted, when he could contribute to speeding up runs. Healers judge situation based on their experience and observation of current party capabilities. Obviously there are bad healers and good healers (just as there are smarter and dumber people in real world) but tanks/DPS should be smart enough to understand this. But alas, there too, are smart and dumb tanks/dps.

Essentially, apply some sound judgement to the situation.

On phone here bear with me.
So basically this new attitude comes from bad tank and healers alike. Healers tunneling in on dps and getting the heals off to late or forcing the tank to use the oh shit CDs when they are not needed. Also comes to tanks pulling everything possiple without knowing their classes limits and CD management.

Thing to remember is 40/40/20
40% of people suck at their class
40% are average
20% are good
So most of the time you are seeing people biting off more than they can chew or expecting others to carry their weight without testing the waters and raging on others for expecting to group with the top 20%

I used to not have issues with tanks using CDs, but lately with SB, they sure as heck wont keep up CDs.
Even if im only healing, and they are full HP, the period of time it takes to cast a cure spell, they die if mobs crit them.
They take waaaaay too much dmg.
(plus a lot of them are standing in AoEs, as they dont wanna dodge them, which pretty much is impossible to heal them through with enough mobs)

Queued for extreme primals. Primal left 50+% hp, 1-2 dead players, healers just Stone II until we wiped. I kind of feel the sentiment there.

I still hope and pray SE is making things hit harder and putting up more gates on purpose. It's NICE to not have to worry about trying to out race Sonic the freaking hedgehog for once. Healer dpsing and tank dpsing is fine when it's not killing the party. But I feel like these dungeons are trying to push them fro mdoing that.. and that's ok I feel. It feels good to have to be careful for once.-

This is edging between the different playstyle justification and outright harassment and if you had a shred of common sense you would see that. It's one thing to kick someone for playing their job in such a way that it causes deaths or wipes but entirely another to kick someone for playing a way you don't like.

Nine out of ten healers caused wipes by dpsing too much and being unable to perform even their basic job, leading to deaths. Yeah, I'd say my prejudice is well placed. Course, if I'm running with a healer I know, I'm more than happy with them DPSing~

You forgot that not only are they made up they're also so completely unrealistic.
