DPSing as a healer

[RubenSnizzle]

Why would you people care? Damage dealing spells for healers are only there for lore and questing.

It's up to the person if he wants to DPS or not, not you, if you want to DPS as a healer, go do it.


If you'd tell me how to play my class, even in the nicest ways, i'd tell you to stop harassing me or i'd report you. Stop hindering my enjoyment of the game, we ain't raiding, so sit down and drink your kool aid.

It's impossible for your report to do anything to someone who is trying to teach you to play the game effectively, and if you feel offended by simple advice maybe you should stick to premades who will be happy to have a pacifist healer. You're hindering my enjoyment of the game by not putting in any effort.

Not putting any effort? I'm keeping your bum up, so what's the point of doing DPS, when in 2hits, you lose half of your HP or worse, 1 hit if you get crit? Not everyone is in 235 with lore garbage and nidhogg gear, not everyone is over geared for every roulette or dungeons. It's like you people think everyone has the best gear available in HQ with extra meat on it.

This has yet to happen, cause people don't talk in dungeons, so it's whatever .

This never happens if the tank is actually keeping aggro. Also, I've been healing for 90% of my time in FFXIV and gear is never the primary issue with how much damage we're taking, it's always a lack of proper mitigation cooldown usage or failed mechanics. Where exactly in the roulette do you lose half your health in a single hit? Even at minimum ilvl I could easily keep the party alive through proper usage of the potent healing abilities we're given.

A healer can't DPS if the tank is too unskilled to keep aggro, but they easily can when everyone does their role properly. It's a team effort. Different jobs get abilities outside of their main role for a reason.
