Healer & Tank DPS (WoW vs FFXIV)

[Fealow]

It's because 1. healing and tanking gameplay themselves are very simple and don't require much attention, so there's a lot of room for them to focus on DPS, 2.

This has actually triggered me... I never use that word when referring to myself because I save it for the snowflakes, but wtf? Have you even played a Healer or tank in this game in any kind of High end duty content. They are the most demanding roles! DPS is heavily focused on muscle memory for the role to be played optimally, Healers and tanks are reactionary and predictive based roles who also have to pick up the slack if a DPS is lacking in any department.

As a healer, if i'm only paying a little bit of attention as you suggest we only need to do then someone is likely going to die.

Don't get me wrong though the DPS role can be played smart to the benefit of the entire party, but the bare minimum that is required of a DPS is enough for the role to function as intended. The same is not true for healer and tank roles.

I normally would not attempt to butt heads with another forum user so soon, but you are delusional if you truly believe "very simple" and "don't require much attention" to be true for both healers and tanks.
