You would have to completely redesign Savage and how Healers work in this game in order to balance Healers only healing. Additionally, I genuinely do not understand why Healers needing to do damage is such a problem to people? You have to kill mobs in the overworld right? You have to kill enemies in solo-content right? That applies raids, savage raids, ultimate content, trials, extreme trials, PoTD, HoH etc, period.

2. Removing a DPS check in a savage encounter makes the fight DRAMATICALLY easier. If there's no soft/hard enrage and the same mechanics keep repeating themselves infinitely, the only challenge is getting through the mechanics with at LEAST a tank and any caster with MP so they can raise the entire party and keep going. If that were the case, once you've learned the mechanics you don't even need to execute, just don't wipe and you'll probably clear. A DPS check forces players to play well enough to clear the fight, optimize their damage when possible, and not make mistakes. If you take that away, you might as well just delete savage tbh, you've lost a huge percent of the challenge. If you can't make a DPS check with your party on a clean run, your party needs to get better, simple as that... Or just tell the healers that aren't DPSing start pressing those two-three buttons on their hotbars, . Savage isn't for everyone, don't make it accessible for those that want to put in 0 effort (arguably that can already be done in certain fights). More content, especially Normal Mode raids, should have DPS checks, not less.

OP is more than likely trolling but I thought I'd throw my hat into the ring as well. I'm tired of hearing people tell me that healer DPS isn't required and shouldn't be done, in Duty Finder.
Never said that healers should not dps its just not something fight are designed around. That fact that its needed comes from factors outside of design..
