Why would you refuse to use 1/3 of your abilities? This game has no pure healing jobs like some other MMOs and developers gave you all these attack spells for a reason - to help your party when there's downtime and no need for healing. Also you are wrong about bad DDs and tanks, no static will ever keep them if they don't pull their weight.

Well as you can guess i dont play in any static, i allways use the dungeonfinder. As for the question why i only heal, maybe u dont will understand this but i like to focus on my role (in every game and every mmo). Its allready sometimes challenging for me to mange the hp bars, if i would now also start with dmg not only mana would run faster out (sometimes if the team is bad it realy finish a bossfight with 0-1% mana left) it also would increase the amount of concentration i need to keep things under controll and would increase the chance for mistakes. This is nothing you can compare to the playstyle of a tank or healer. Both only need to keep one enemy in target and spaming their skills, watching hp bar of the enemy all the time is also not realy necessary.

As healer you need to watch the hp bars all the time, if you now add the dps role to it you also need to switch between friendly and enemy units all the time, this allone increases the chance for mistakes. Adding a half Dps role to healer increases the need for higher concentration at player more than it need to be. There is a reason that there is as good as no other mmo that do things this way and just because someone made this stupid design choice that dosnt mean i nead to except it. Of course healer classes in other mmos have also some dmg skills, but there are meant for the solo part of the game where you do quests or farm something. I have never ever seen in any other mmo that their people that expect you to do dmg as healer. If you want place a dot or cast 1-2 dmg skills because its a bit easier at the moment its your choice, but no one will force you to do so (not even in raids or stuff like that).
