The reason we healers DPS

[althenawhm]

When I play my healers, I'm playing that job to relax and chill.

In other words, "I wish to be lazy and not contribute to the team effort"

Mmm, I just love these "I'm gonna shove words down your throat." 'retorts'. Really helps convince people to listen to you when you just attack them.

It's not like anything we can say would convince AFK healers that their party would appreciate them chipping in now and then.

Then move on. If you've accepted that they will not be convinced, then just move on. Attacking them does nothing. It just makes you look childish.

So a healer that isn't DPSing is AFK now? Keep digging that hole.

I mean with how non-threatening everything outside of Savage is, you have to have some -real- bad luck to be constantly healing. Try again.

Oh look, a red herring! Because I said nothing about needing to constantly heal.

Well, if you're not healing, and you're not DPSing... what ARE you doing? Either your gear is awful so you need to constantly heal, you're DPSing, or you're just sitting around for the majority of the fight. That's just how it is in this game, even in hard content like Savage.

So if you're not constantly healing, and you're not keeping the GCD rolling? I can only surmise that you're watching Netflix.

Yes, a healer is AFK if they're not either constantly healing or DPSing. Or you might as well be. Is it so much to ask that you contribute the bare minimum effort of remembering your ABC rule?

It's more a faint twist than a shove. To pick a job specifically so you can "relax", as compared to any other role, is precisely an intent to be lazy.
