Healers please

Some people hear "this fight doesn't need healing" from the rest of the community and then just decide to shut off healthbars, it seems.

Just dumb. Would love some support from other healers. I had a sch bluntly say no to me when I asked if they could maybe do some succor since my shit is enough to heal through it. Like I could be that way and not heal and see how far the team gets D:

THIS ! They said that to a healer for a TRIAL I tried to say - no that is stupid, but they didn't listen to my mi'qote toon of course. So we went in - wiped in 10 seconds or so, and they blamed the TANK. lol Telling a healer not to heal is beyond dumb. If you want to prove something go lift weights or something. Bake a cake. Don't try to do dungeons and trials without heals. Just no.

Sure, you don't want to throw just anyone into that type of gameplay, but I'm skilled enough to cover healing on either my PLD or RDM in many dungeons. When I do get the chance for a full (or heck, 3 man) dungeon run with FC members, I often convince them we don't need a proper healer. The initial reactions are funny, but we end up having a blast as mobs and bosses just melt under the pressure of 3x DPS + Tank in a dungeon. Plus, budgeting and timing heals/MP becomes much more critical in those scenarios which makes things interesting for me, and I have to adapt to mechanics that were designed with a proper healer in mind. It's great fun to break away from the boring script and seeing just what we can get away with, but I know that kind of pressure isn't fun for everyone.

After reading what I have on WAR lately, though, I'm certainly going to have to give it a try once SE fixes the stupid audio issues. I just can't bring myself to log in most of the time because playing with sound muted is a huge downer.
