Hmm I've always tried to dps even when I was completely new to the game and as early as Copperbell Mines I was doing more dps than healing. I don't get why people see these classes as only healers. I see these classes as support, that means when the party doesn't need healing I'll support you any other way I can. In FF14 the healer classes in this game have little support abilities but they hit like trucks compared to most mmos, and thats where the majority of their support should come from when the party is not in need of healing. I mean sure I can understand only healing in harder stuff like extreme primals, but they give you another healer making healing too easy once again. Most of the time you're just over healing :/
