Every job, regardless of your role, is responsible for doing as much damage as it can to the boss. Every job, regardless of role, is responsible for doing everything possible for keeping the party alive. These are not mutually exclusive aspects to the DPS and healers. Healers need to DPS just as much as DPS need to use mitigation and do mechanics correctly as to not kill their allies, which is to say, they need to do as much damage as they can squeeze out of their GCD. That is how the game is fundamentally designed. SE may not like that, but that's how they designed FFXIV. Choosing not to DPS as a healer or intentionally using your shitty GCD heals when you know you would be better off using your OGCD heals instead is called griefing, because you are intentionally underplaying for selfish gain which is rude and disrespectful to other players. That is universal online gaming etiquette.
Let me know when you get a savage group that takes a no DPS healer. Im just saying technically you can clear without a healer doing dps if all the dps are doing their rotations properly. Do you REALLY think someone like OP will be doing Savage content? I highly doubt it, they will prob do the required stuff for MSQ and maybe some normal raids/trials. Point is that people over react to healers doing no dmg in normal content, and its stupid when they themselves usually are having issues with their own rotation. As someone whos typically top DPS in parties, I would never complain a healer wasnt doing damage in my lvl 73 dungeon lol. I also disagree that its griefing to not DPS as a healer. Some people are just old, or have physical conditions or what ever that hinders their game play. Maybe its their first MMO. Who knows, who cares, but shouldn't be bashing them for "being bad" in normal content lol.
