Healers that don't want to DPS are like DPSes who refuse to move out of AoEs.

WHM is usually "main healer" in raids and use this as an excuse to never DPS even during downtime.

Oh, you were being serious. I thought we were still carrying on the string of jokes from the top of the page. (I thought the person you quoted was referencing SCHs being "toxic" due to their DoTs... ^^;; )

And it's always the WHM who stands around doing nothing after healing. Very bizarre.

When my joke is misunderstood:

[Gothicshark]

DPS is only there for damage. Why should they be burdened with having to dodge and lower their own DPS?

Tanks are only there to hold aggro and mitigate damage. Why should they be able to swap stances and do damage?

To the healers that only heal:

Go play SCH with auto Eos and run any dungeon. Tell me how much fun you're having.

No.
Passive Aggressive much?
You are wrong, about everything.

[Gothicshark]

I DPS as a healer and let me tell you something.

SCH IS BORING AS HELL TO PLAY

I find the fun in the healing, not the DPS. I'm actually leveling it via SMN because I can't stand SCH.

It's why I love Astrologian, I love healing, and Buffing a party, but I refuse to do Random Dungeons as a Healer, because of toxic chips that want you to play as they do without adaptability.

the joke was you all are doing your damage here. against eachother. instead of in-game. it wasnt a suggestion. it was a jab about how the forums are filled with people just attacking eachother about this topic. And now that i had to explain it, it is dead.

Maybe there are just a number of players who need to unplug for a while if they are getting that tense? I've noticed a lot more complaining from people since I returned to the game, the forums seemed more chill when everyone was contributing to lighthearted threads like the "Gifs for those FFXIV moments." That was the first thread I visited when I started to sub again.

Stop telling people how to play. If they wanna dps they would roll one.

And if they want to only heal they're playing the wrong mmo.

While it sucks when you get healers who never throw out a DoT or hard-cast in a dungeon it's not the worst. But it sucks when they don't break their comfort zone and let a tank or DPS hit at least 70% before pressing their buttons. Obviously excluding wipe mechanics and needing to top everyone off.

Healers primary job is to heal, it is the priority. You can dps of course but when you are sure your team will be fine for the time you add dps. That's how i'll always use my white mage. Healing > dps

Some players might try to do their best and be sure to keep everyone alive because they just started healing. Gotta show patience and understanding.
