Dear Healers who don't DPS

[Cynfael]

Perhaps you should work on your tanking skills rather than point the finger at those you deem lazy...

While we in no way needed this thread, I will agree with Deceptus that it is still depressingly common for healers to stand around waiting to heal, regardless of whether or not the tank is geared and playing properly.

I think the situation has improved somewhat, but no, an inactive healer is usually not the tank's fault.

I didn't say inactive. I said that healers don't generally DPS if they don't feel like they can and keep the party alive. Sure, you'll have those who don't but most do. It's boring otherwise. I can find better ways to do nothing than go into a dungeon. xP First couple pools, I'll test the waters. If the tank goes from 100% to near 0% constantly, then I'm not going to DPS the rest of the dungeon (for the most part.) My job is to keep people alive, not DPS. Healing comes first.
