Where are all the healers?

[Alisi]

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make in your second paragraph either...especially when you contradict yourself like this.

I'm not. There is a difference between when I can and EVERY available moment. I do my best but there are times in fight when I want to precast, even if the group is topped up. I'll stop dpsing for things like pre-casting or upcoming mechanics or waiting for a DPS to do the same thing he's done on every pull and nearly kill himself. In other words, I'm judging the situation via the group dynamic. But people don't understand that. They just see me being idle for a couple seconds and think I'm being lazy.

I don't know why people keep saying this, no one is arguing against this! Even the people saying healers should dps are saying their first priority is to heal.

People will stop saying this when other people stop making 'dear healers who don't dps' or 'when your healer doesn't dps' threads. Obviously just keeping the party alive isn't good enough.
