DPSing as a healer

[MaikoRaines]

For the OP, if you're left without anything to do in the fight, it doesn't hurt and can be rather fun to DPS. The important thing is to gauge your abilities and do what you are comfortable with. Keep an eye on your mana bar and if you're dipping low, then dial it back a bit. With practice you will find a rhythm that works for you.

Who's the elitist? The guys trying to explain why and how to play optimally at request of the OP? Or the guys trying to hijack the thread, calling other people elitist and defending a known suboptimal playstyle? *HINT: IT'S THE SECOND ONE*

^---- These x 100. Funky and Talera both nailed it.
