If you thought the healer DPS debate would change with the change...

Someone didn't even bother reading before making a toxic reply.

If you did bother to read, then you would have understood that the OP isn't dpsing because they are HEALING. You know, their JOB? They aren't being idle.

Unless they have tanks that stand in AOEs and refuse to use CDs, all healers still find instances to DPS even in the ShB dungeons. During boss fights, especially. However, like I said to someone else, this assumption probably came about because the "standing around waiting for people to take damage and dealing 0 DPS because I'm a healer not a damage dealer" playstyle tends to be the preferred playstyle of those who make threads with this theme.

At least as a WHM, you can't not DPS anymore now that Afflatus Misery exists. But who am I kidding, they won't use it because those free and instant cast Afflatus Heals are to be saved for emergencies, right?

In this case, I'd say Kaedan is right - because OP explicitly said they contribute to DPS when they're able to, but focus more on healing and can't always fit DPS in. It didn't sound like they were "idling" to me at all.

Never a good idea to be rude based on an assumption.
