    A healer doesn't have to DPS.

    They're all equally terrible.
    Not really. A tank not using mitigation, or a dps not using dps cooldowns is not the same as a healer not dpsing, it's the same as a healer not using mitigation techniques on the party or using healer cooldowns. i. e. not performing their job-specific abilities.

    It has nothing to do with dps.

    A DPS not using their AoE skills is the same though because you're ignoring your DPS options in both cases.
    The point is that all these factors slow down a run considerably because you put more strain on other roles.
    Doesn't matter if its a dungeon run or an ultimate fight, if you are ignoring parts of your toolkit to any capacity, you're wasting other people's time and effort for selfish reasons and you're a terrible player as a result.

    You also never answered whether Macrocosmos was a Heal or DPS skill.
