    I suggest you look up my lodestone. All healers 70. A tank 70, and some DDs 70. I'm not going to go into the nitty gritty of the DDs since I'm not the best at them. However, in FF games past, healers have always traditionally been able to pump out decent damage and healing, and this carried over to FFXIV. Here's the thing though, damage dealing is actually a form of mitigation. Less healing needed overall. And besides, I know WoW is pushing healers to do DPS as well, due to overall tuning there. But that's nothing compared to the damage a FFXIV healer can do. You're expected to do more damage here. Also, to note, even in Ex trials, I'm doing damage as a healer. Not as much as in a dungeon, but still doing it. I'm midcore at best. I'm not hardcore, I'm mostly casual actually. I'm still doing it. Trying to compare this game to other MMOs won't work, it has its own structure and its own way of working. Either adapt, accept the problems you'll have with the community for not adapting, or quit. It's that simple.

    Now, I will add if you can't adapt due to disability, that's a different kettle of fish (and most of the community are understanding where something like disability gets in the way of someone's playstyle, reasonable adjustments and all that), but a simple "I won't DPS because it's not my job" is the wrong attitude to take and will get you into problems. Also, expect people to remember your name from the forums and kick on sight from duty as soon as they can due to playstyle differences you admitted to (oh, and playstyle differences is a valid reason to kick so a GM won't side with you).

    As I'm sure you are well aware, it takes more than one person to be able to kick a player from a duty, so in all those instances there were at least two people agreeing they'd be better off without you tanking.

    It seems you didng got the joke and why should i care about your loadstone? Do you whant me to see how big your d...g is or what? Oo Im also aware how it works in the other FF Parts, but that dosnt mean that something that works in an offline game is as good in an mmo. Good for you if you are to do dmg in a group, but like i said for a healer this allways should be optional and never a must have.
