Making sure Medica 2 is running when one of the DPS takes 10% of their HP in damage. Maybe casting ONE Holy during a single, single-pulled trash pack. Standing around waiting for damage in boss fights. It can't be this hard to see how little damage goes out in this game. It just can't.
I'd just like to imagine most tankbusters outside of extremes and savage making those toy sqeaky noises whenever they hit someone. Most times they won't even die as a dps or healer. Just imagine if those got mitigated: health doesn't move. I think it is pretty telling though when, for the sake of time, i queue as healer only to get a queue moving and not to actually be a "healer" with the idea of healing as a primary. I chunk out more damage than some dps do just spamming one button in trash mobs as Sage.

Halone have mercy on my soul when it dumps me into an ARR leveling dungeon. Can't even aoe until the last two. Damage taken just doesn't exist in most.
