Big part of why I don't heal in this game. I hate that DPSing is essentially a requirement. I mean, I'll throw out dps when I can, when I'm not doing anything else and have the mana for it. But no, I am not going to work on optimizing and maximizing my damage output when I'm playing a freaking healer. No thanks. Not interested.
I'll stick to actually playing a DPS.
I'm curious what part of OP's post made you think they were idling in combat.
