The idea that we need to DPS must go.

[Deceptus]

Not only that but also because the hardest content in the game simply requires healers to DPS in order for the group to be able to beat the enrage timer - even when your tanks and DPS are pushing 100% optimal DPS.

This is just misinformation. Healer DPS isn't taken into account when DPS requirements are made for bosses. That is per Yoshi-P himself.

The reason healer dps is required is groups are undergeared for the content they're trying to down and healer DPS gives them a bit of breathing room / mistake room BECAUSE the dps aren't 100% optimal. No one except the best players in the world are.

How long do you think you need to wait for everyone to be geared enough in order for your average dps to pull 14k and average tank to pull 8k? Answer is a while (I'd be surprised if that even were a thing at all this tier). r

1) Average players generally aren't in savage level content.

2) Good Players are ALREADY pulling 13K+ and tanks pulling ~7300 DPS at the 75th percentile with the lower end coming in at approximately 12K.

Look, I advocate for healer DPS as much as the next guy, but at least keep your arguments honest.
