Dear Healers who don't DPS

[era1Ne]

Also, leaving tank stance increases the workload on the healers, which is clearly a downside. Good tanks know when that tradeoff is a gain for the group.

Did i say anything different?

There is absolutely no risk whatsoever in doing damage on a fight like O2N. None. The damage that's coming is telegraphed so far in advance that you could stop and do nothing for 2 GCDs to get ready for it and still have over half the fight to DPS freely. So you're back to a double standard where someone else should do more than the minimum because "there's no downside", but healers are special snowflakes that should do as little as possible because reasons.We all got different skill level and if you have watched as much videos of healers

Let me rewrite the start of your post to make my point. If you watched videos of insanely good healers you would know that, there is absolutely "no risk"(There still is a risk imo.) in doing damage on a fight like o2s (or every fight for that matter). The game is designed in a way, healers only have to care about low auto attack dmg even in savage and then spike dmg every now and then.

So correct, right? The problem with your argument is that 90% of all healers are not using every gcd to do something and they are not 90% of the time doing dmg, even if very, very good healers (probably only 5% of the community) actually do it. The proof are their videos or streams. Healers can do so, so much in this game, but most healers can't do it. So while the goal should be always doing something (ABC!), most healers don't do it. The question is why aren't they only healing with ofcd and keeping dots up 100% + doing most of the time dmg skills. There has to be other reasons than just "lazy!, bad, don't want to put effort in", since even decent or good healers have problems casting everytime, depending on the difficulty of the content. This imo has to do with exp, skill and confident.

For you it seems to be easy to do o2n and you can push dmg their as you said, while you can't understand people not doing much dmg there. Fine, others could argue, it is easy to do dmg in savage, so what would you argue against that, if you don't agree with them? Perspective plays an huge part here. For you it could be easy, but this doesn't mean that it is easy for everyone. If you want an answer from me, then i would say there is enough time in every content to do dmg. Savage or not. But we shouldn't ignore the difference in skill, exp and so on.

I never technically said that you do, but since you chose to argue with me without knowing my stance on this you confused me and I guess I confused you. I mean I tried multiple times to tell you; it just wasn't getting across.

In insight, we should have done better at reading/understanding each others posts. And sry, if you did feel insulted or something about my "emotional" comment. Didn't mean it that way
