But...I...I don't wanna DPS, I'm a healer...

fun fact:
when it comes to recommendations after a dungeon with a random group most of the time a healer which is only healing gets way more than a healer which throws in good dps as well
why? thats what i would love to know too...

Not a fact. I wouldn't even go there. it's impossible to prove that this is true without getting a response from all parties involved.

I suspect that, if you could get answers, many of them would be "I don't know," "I always rec the (tank or DPS)," "I don't bother with recs," or "I wasn't even watching what you were doing."

My order is 1) New people 2) tanks or heals depending on who did better 3) good dps

For the OP:

If you are mainly solo playing then SCH is a good healer class, since you can essentially cleric stance & dps while your fairy heals and keeps you up. But to the point others have made, SCH is primarily the healer expected to dps most out of the 3 jobs. There are a few reasons for this which aren't entirely relevant to your decision, but just know that's out there in a lot of players mind and likely something you'll run into further into end game. Healer dps is not required for anything outside of savage content, but it can help speed up dungeons and trials along the way which is why most people "ask" healers to dps.

while that may be true, from the hundreds of random dungeon runs i did so far, the fact that going full healing only gives me more recs is true. and i am not the only one saying this, this topic has been quite often on reddit

it is not always this way, but for some reason many players seems to think a healer is bad once the tank drops below 50% HP once lol

not really a problem, but just wanted to mention it

You know, it bloody well feels like that sometimes.

"Why did I even bother doing DPS when I could have just watched tv at the same time... The stupid summoner didn't even use raging strikes and the paladin only flashed..."
