Dear Healers who don't DPS

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Dps has to do damage
Tank has to keep agroo
Healer has to keep the team alive.

Dragoon spams True Thrust -> Vorpal Thrust -> Full Thrust
Samurai spams Hakaze -> Jinpu -> Gekko
Dark Knight spams Unleash
White Mage spams Cure/Cure II

All three of met your baseline criteria yet only one role has a built in excuse whereas the other two are universally shunned. Bear in mind, each dungeon has a 90 minute time limit, thus if we're going by the dev's generous determination, success is completing it in that allotted time frame. I can assure you this group will finish any current dungeon. It may be agonizingly slow but nowhere is it stipulated DPS have to deal a specific amount of damage nor tanks have to deal more than the absolute minimum (none Paladin). If you're okay with an hour long Kugane Castle, fair enough. If, however, you expect more from the DPS and tanks, I expect more from you.

Dear Tanks,

Don't pull wall to wall if you want Healers to DPS. Thanks.

Can we please knock off the strawmen?

No one in this thread has advocated healers need to DPS above all else. We want them to be doing something. If tanks pull wall to wall and you can scarcely manage to get off more than one Aero III and maybe a Swiftcast Holy, good. You're spam healing, thus you're adhering to the standards of every other job: Always Be Casting. This thread is about healers who refuse to anything except heal regardless of the circumstances. For example purposes, I got into a row with a healer who insisted you were garbage if you ever allowed the tank's HP to dip below 80%. That renders abilities like Tetra and Essential utterly worthless since you'll never be low enough to truly benefit from their potency potential.
