DPSing as a healer

[Rennies]

probably the same way the 0 HPS damage dealer crowd is hitting really aggressive HPS checks?

but for real: i am not totally against doing damage as a healer. it's my job to bring the party alive through the content, no matter what. and when i have to dps to reach that goal i will doing that dps.

what bothers me is staying 90% in cleric and only healing 10% of the time. and also there is a difference between doing dps while there is something to heal and doing dps while there is nothing to heal. i can agree a healer should not staying around doing nothing. but we are at a point where it is expected to doing dps, letting the tank drop to 20% and then using the emergency heals to prevent a wipe.

Well, doing huge damage and then using the emergency heals (I'm assuming you mean Bene, ED, Lustrate) when the tank is low is the best way to play since it optimizes party DPS and limit break gauge building. It's also quite thrilling for the tank.
