#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Absurdity]

Tanks aren't DPS. So why are they allowed to do damage while healers aren't?

At this point I have to question whether or not you're playing the same game as the rest of us.
Healers have been doing damage since ARR, they're doing damage right now. Whether that damage is 4k lower on average than the tanks or the exact same is irrelevant, you're still doing damage and encounters are balanced around that damage contribution, increase the contribution and you've just increased how much damage is needed to not wipe on enrage.

And no, tanks aren't DPS, that's why they're doing 10K less than even the worst actual DPS job.
