The idea that we need to DPS must go.

Griefing by healing and healing alone. That's a good one. Enjoy your gaming vacation when you vote kick someone for that reason.

You are basically AFK at that point. Most of your casts in content is always damage, not healing ones. There simply isn’t enough outgoing damage to warrant it. You’d want to kick a DPS that was just auto-attacking would you not? Or a tank that only single-targets or auto-attacks and loses aggro, right? How about one that does their AOE three times and then AFKs for the rest of the pull? It’s the same thing here. Healer DPS is a mitigative tool. It kills packs faster. It makes the content go by quicker, and it’s a team contribution. Last I checked, that’s typically valued in group play. AFK play is not.

Difference of playstyle is a valid reason for kicking someone still, anyways. Hard to punish if the majority of a party don’t want to play with a practically AFK healer. Nice try, though.

That said, I usually go healer to avoid having to deal with the Netflix ones, so. My experience with “heal only healers” is that they can’t even heal properly. I end up picking up their slack in both healing and damage.

Make a YouTube video of you running a current content dungeon and showing overall healing being done for less then 10% of al encounter time and I'll change my views. Should be easy from what you say.

I mean, you can do the current Expert dungeons without a healer at all. It’s been done. Nice try, though.

Why don’t you make a video proving that there is high healing uptime in dungeons? Sounds fair enough, since you want to argue this point.

I mean, they say in their forum profile they're a tank and DPS main who finds healing challenging and only have WHM at 90 and SGE at 70 (probably either just unlocked or is just sitting on it because it was "too challenging" for them).
If their only healing experience is the sub-par WHM plus their 7 years of WoW, it makes sense that they think all healers are/should be heal-princesses. :B

This is not my only character. I made that profile on my first character nearly a decade ago when 60 was the cap. It's pathetic to think you can know a person based on such a tiny and outdated sliver of info and casually insult them with it. How petty of you.

Personal attacks are the result of failure at being able to debate.

And focusing on that while not replying back to my reply makes it seem like you're dodging our conversation. XD
I'm just using information that you provide (on your profile) to speculate where you are coming from with your argument. Meanwhile, you're calling me petty. Who's insulting who? (Not to mention you condescendingly calling Semirhage "my dearie")
