    This is factually untrue. As for the dude you were quoting, you have never died because a healer 'Just DPS'd', an inactive healer causes deaths, one paying some degree of attention does not.

    There are lots of things that cause death:

    Tanks over pulling. Tanks not using their CD's properly (Don't forget about arm's length!)

    DPS not doing enough DPS to kill mobs fast enough. DPS not using their self heals so healers can focus on these tanks who need more attention.

    Healers not using their CD's optimally

    Had a run the other day in Amourot (SCH) where the tank said I kept him alive better than a WHM. It's all about group efforts and using you abilities properly.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
