Healer Q&A in PLL LXVIII

[ty_taurus]

Many healers don't want to be damage dealers. I know this is an "unpopular opinion" (it isn't in the community as a whole, it just is on forums and among high end raiders), but if I wanted to deal damage and have the ability to throw out heals from time to time, I could main PLD, WAR, or RDM, or arguably SMN (Phoenix, not lolPhysic)

But that is fundamentally NOT how healers play in this game. You would quite literally need to foundationally overhaul encounter design for every fight in the game to kill healer DPS contributions. It's like sitting down to play Mario Kart and then complaining that the game's too silly and that the items are unfair. Well, that's what happens when you choose to play Mario Kart instead of playing Gran Turismo. You're playing the wrong game, and it's selfish and entitled to barge into a game and demand it plays antithetical to its design because you don't like one aspect of it. If you want to play a healer that only heals, go play a game that supports that playstyle, which the only MMO I can think of that actually does this is Everquest.
