It's time to kill the argument that DPS abilities keep healers from healing.

You're still accountable, and no one is forcing you play a healer in braindead content. If you were tanking and your healer just let you die, and their excuse was, "Sorry, healing is so boring and I got caught up in Netflix." what would be your reaction? While you might be more understanding, I'm pretty sure you would still know that your healer is at fault for your KO.

Another thing I will point out is that the tank and DPS members in your group are most definitely not looking at Netflix while in a duty, and while they have less reason to be than a bored to tears healer spamming one button, it is just good etiquette and shows respect giving them the same courtesy. And yes, I am aware that negligent people exist playing all roles in the game. Their lack of attentiveness and care does not pardon your own.

You miss my point. Ofc it´s my fault as healer, when the tank is doing everything correct but still dies. I´m not here for excuses.

My statement is, that the game itself doesn´t force anything from me in this way and there are more than enough players out there who never really focus in content out of savage. (Yes even casuals.)

- Healers spam one button 95% of all time yes. It´s either aoe into adds or that 1 cast into bosses. In case of SCH you need even less heals thx to the fairy.
- Tanks on the other hand run to the front and spam aoe or 123, 123, 123. They can even facetank any bossmechanics easily. Not even a tankbuster hurts as it should be.
- DPS do pretty much the same, aoe or 123, but they´ve atleast a handful more ogcd´s, bursts or positionals to care about. (But sadly those are more optional than needed.)

If we wouldn´t sit on wall to wall bangs with one button spam, we would focus more. If a boss would kill a tank within 5s without a heal, we would focus more. If we wouldn´t be able to ignore pretty much every mechanic in non-savage content, we would focus more. If we wouldn´t get downsynced with way too much stats, we would focus more. Or if bosses would hit an enrage, we would focus more. (Imo i can only remember that the Amaurot endboss has a limit with his platforms. But even there i´ve solod this guy lately as DRK with my little selfheal and blackest night into the laser, while my party was dead and watching 5mins.)

That´s the point i want to clarify and it´s up to SE to cater us with more interesting content and gameplay, which force more than just this one button + a fairy, benediction or a hot.

EDIT: I´m pretty sure, that nobody would complain about too less damage skills, if we would need more stuff to heal. But if we don´t have anything to heal, which is mostly the case, one button spam is no gameplay.
