Another Post About Healer Dps

[MoroMurasaki]

Man, reading this topic has made me lost what confidence I had built as a new healer.

I feel like this is needlessly dramatic.

Yes, all sources of DPS matter, even healers. You should already know that as a level 70 AST. It only becomes more important as a SCH or WHM because without bringing the utility of cards to the table those jobs rely more on personal DPS to help their groups.

I can say AST is harder to DPS on consistantly as you're managing cards adds an extra layer of complexity that other healers don't have to contend with. Try DPSing as SCH or WHM before getting discouraged, it's actually quite fun.

There is a difference between actively looking for opportunities to DPS in content that you're comfortable with and the hyperbole you suggest with your post that you would need to leave your tank so low all the time just to find the time.
