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

This "discussion" - if it can be called that - wasn't about healers being the cause for slow dungeon runs. It's the case of two typical parties:
Healers who dps and highly recommends others to do so as well
Healers who refuse to dps and tells others not to as well

And then there is this playerbase that got a taste of how good it is to have healer dps present and expect a certain degree in general. This form of meta isn't well accepted by every healer, sadly. It's at the point where this is turning into a religion.

Between the lines one party's encouraging to do so and get the most out of it. The other's encouraging not to "because it's not your job". It's a minmax vs minimalist kind of standpoint where the minimalists are suffering from the stigma called "healer dps"

i would never tell any other healer to not do dps.

because if the other healer does dps i can solo heal wich is much more fun than cleric dance >.>

I am not sure that you can call it a snowflake anymore, because it gets dragged through too much shi...

Agree on the point that nobody should stand idle and do nothing, just pointing out that dpsing healers are covering other problems that should be fixed first.

...

Look at it from DF perspective. Do you want to scare even more healers away from the queues? Healer that only heals is still better than healer who started to play dps jobs due to screwing up while trying to dps.

I am not sure if expecting healers to dps as some sort of norm is a good idea. Healer damage should be an extra - which few posters mentioned. It is same as expecting mass pulls from a tank who can't handle it. It leads to issues and not everyone is battle hardened enough to deal with enraged randoms.

So yeah... This religion of not dpsing healers is mainly here to keep our healers healing instead of scaring them away imo

Thanks for all the input guys, but I really think I should find somewhere else to play. Enjoy your gaming guys, I had a kinda fun month here. :-)

Oh, so they really managed to ruin the game for someone, because you know, efficiency comes before fun and all that crap.
