i quoted your whole post because im on mobile and quite frankly didn't feel like trimming that whole thing. didn't know that was such a big deal.

enjoy your coffee.
Awesome. Thanks for telling me what I already know. The thing is, the poster that was quoted didn't mention anything about sitting at a comfortable level of HP. He talked about sitting at sub 10% makes him very uncomfortable, and would rather the healer pay attention to that instead of 'muh-deeps'. Check the subject of the thread title, and his post; this isn't about why healer DPS is a good thing, or why overhealing is bad.

What's nonsense is had this exchange of comments taken place in a duty: One player asking their healer for heals so they don't die from an unavoidable AoE which will surely knock out the remainder of his 10% HP, and the healer's response is, "Doing more damage gets me out of the dungeon faster, overhealing does not." Unless you'd like to tell me how healing a player at critical HP is an unnecessary heal, then I will continue to see that response as a strawman.

Thanks for trying though.
