DPSing as a healer

[Tsumes]

Also, why not start a new class (WHM for example) do the Hall of the Novice and just be not terrible with the new healer? Best of every world for everyone.

I've tried WHM, though it's not bad. I don't find it as enjoyable as AST. I like playing with the card buffs. That, and I don't feel like lulling my way from level 1 just yet. It took me months to get to level 50. I don't really feel like doing it all over again. I want to get through the story first. While I commend them for adding such a feature, it's a bit too late. It should've have been in place from day 1. The time it took to complete the first HoN for the reward given, just doesn't make me want to do it. I'm not learning anything I don't already know. Yes, I know how to stance dance. I simply choose not to because it's too much of a hassle. On occasion I do. Just not often.
