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

I know that once I get used to the new changes I will dps a lot more and become more confident, but I just wanted to put my opinion across that maybe the reason why some don't dps isn't down to "laziness" but down to confidence. Thank you for taking the time to read this

Hey, I believe that most of the people that claim in favor of healing DPS and say that people that refuse to DPS are lazy are not including people with some sort of disability, or new people that are learning, people that are adjusting, etc, since most of healers have been through that stage of learning and adjusting. Not DPSing because you don't feel like you can and are busy enough is one thing, not DPSing because you simply don't want to even if you have room for it is another.

It's just that, if you play this game and say that you are a pure healer or healers shouldn't DPS... Well, there's something wrong, you're probably choosing to stay idle. Because it's very clear that, for the majority of the playerbase that play this for a long time and doesn't have any sort of disability, the fights of this game, for good or bad, have a lot of room for DPS. You'll probably notice that even the fights that you struggle now, the more you comfortable you are, the less you heal.

Besides, when we're in a party we can clearly see when people are trying their best to heal or are struggling with healing and when people are just there, waiting for someone to take damage. Very different things.

Now that my rant is out of the way. I'll say, from the way they're handling it they want to focus healers not doing dps.

And yet people are still trying to force it.

Please go level your healers and actually get experience in this role before throwing stupid suggestions. Thanks. It is very clear, even from new content, that healers must DPS if they want to do SOMETHING besides overhealing.
