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

Question for healers that do not like to dps may I ask why? I am a fairly new healer and for the life of me I simply cannot figure out if why someone would not use their entire class kit.

This is not an attack or troll I honestly want to know and better understand the mindset.

I do dps in group content when I feel comfortable but never a fan of it
For a few reasons
I sign up as a role of heal not DPS with healing ability, and I come from MMO that heal is so intense you don’t even have time for MP regeneration but drink MP potion like an addict. When HW first release when everyone isn’t over gear like crazy, some dungeon like The Vault is quite heal intense in certain boss fight and I found heal intense fun just like some ppl prefer dps with heal

2nd, I don’t like some mentality of being force by other player. I know my own merit, I have my reason for dps or not dps in a dungeon.

About the tool kit, it is one way saying but also we need it to go through solo content and in case of emergencies when everyone die and boss is just few % away. I have play some Korean made MMO that heal have absolutely trash dps and can’t progress anything without a team to help you dps down and I can tell it is no fun playing

I hope I have give you some insight, I am neither pro nor con heal dps. More like male heal intense and dps only when you feel comfortable type of healer. Last time I trust a SCH I end up sleeping on cold hard ground, so I guess I am not really a big fan of the “must” campaign

Thanks for the insight and that makes sense and can I respect the mindset. My mmo background is rather limited in terms of verity but I never been a fan of traditional healing, I do remember in one game it was possible to heal content as a DPS spec, so when I had to heal I did it that way. Way you explained it also makes sense why I have friends who rather heal 24 man content and do not heal 4 or 8 man content with a 10 foot pool because they enjoy the more frequent requirement of heals in 24 mans either due to co healer problem or group problems.
