Healer DPS or no?

[AlexionSkylark]

you are right, you have to save Mp , but thats what LD is for, if its on CD, my stopping point on dps is when my Mp reaches 15% of its max amount, so if mp on 15% or lower, and LD in CD for more than 10 seconds, i stop dpsing, else i just dps, theres really no reason to sit on max MP the entire fight, if you need to ress multiple times follow the basic rule: if a dps dies twice in arow for not avoiding dmg or due ignoring mechanics, just leave him on the floor, you are doing more dps than him anyway.

It's all a matter of how you see your responsibility to the party as a healer.

You can either see yourself as a guardian angel of sorts whose main contribution to the party is to ENLARGE THE MARGIN OF ERROR so you can get a clear with less tries, or as a Half DPS who don't give a single proverbial F to people who fail mechanics and only deems acceptable for everyone to perform flawlessly, only feeling that you need to heal unavoidable damage.

Each of those different healers will have a different answer to "should I be DPSing". And each of those different healers are better suited for different groups. If they match, then it's wonderful. If it doesn't, you AND your group are in for an awful time.
