And his boss responds, "Are you saying that the reason you weren't doing your job is because there's no job for you to do? You make a very good point."

And that's really how I feel about healers.

Adding more DPS to healers doesn't make me want to go back to healing; it makes me want to play a healer even less. When I want to DPS, I play a DPS class. I play healers because I want to heal.
We could just, ya know… have both?

It just continues to make a negative amount of sense why healer has to be the role that is regularly subjected to the “you want to DPS? Then play a DPS!” Fallacy when tanks aren’t constantly badgered by the same argument. can we switch that for at least one expansion please? Just give me one expansion where healers get to have lots of DPS tools and tanks get “I play tank because I want to tank!” Anti-DPS players constantly getting in the way of tank players who want their DPS returned and making them cry until 4:30 am in front of the bathroom mirror eating chocolate chips out of the bag because there’s nothing else sweet to eat in the house.
