RE: "DPS does more than 4K!"



Then that means that the healer's contribution is EVEN SMALLER! Thank you for proving my point that I made with the napkin math post.

"You don't parse so you don't get to talk about it."
I can, however, do easy napkin math and apply common sense and round figures. I don't need to see parses to know that if a healer does 2k DPS and an actual DPS does 4-6k DPS, that the healer doing 0 DPS is going to add 15-30 seconds onto the total time it takes to kill a 10 minute boss.

15-30 seconds. Wow. whoop-dee-doo.

The better the DPS are, the less the healer's contribution is going to matter. Now, in Savage Raiding, yeah you need to squeeze out every DPS and you need to squeeze out every single second, because each second means that someone critical could make a major mistake and wipe the whole raid or what not...

But we're not talking about Savage Raiding. We're talking about Duty Finder.

Nothing in Duty Finder is that difficult where 2k DPS is even going to get anywhere near wipe-or-win.

"You Focused on the DPS!"
Because quite simply, you resorted to "But, but, mah healer DPS!!!!"

Obviously I focused on the DPS, because DPS was the #1 reason you were throwing about why overhealing is bad. "If they're overhealing, they're doing less DPS". That's what you said, right? Part of what you said, that is.

Now, I agreed with you about MP and MP Consumption. If a healer is running themselves low on MP by spamming too many heals, yes, that's a bad thing. Obviously. I note you didn't quote/reply to the part where I said THAT, though. Of course you didn't. Because we agree there.

I was replying to the part of your post(s) where I did not agree that it was an issue, and that is the whole DPS aspect.

And obviously, before you misconstrue something I say, I am NOT saying healers shouldn't DPS. They should, when they have the time and MP to do so. Obviously.

However, the lack of healer DPS is not a wipe-or-win for anything on DF and if it is.... you have bigger problems than healer DPS. Tell your actual DPS to stop standing in junk and dying, for starters.
