The system is broken.
What I feel like they're trying to go for, and completely failing at, is a system where as a Healer you'd be a DPS until boss mechanics start happening and you need to start healing.
But they forgot to make boss mechanics that particularly require healing, and they forgot to add the DPS part to healers.
