As a healer, is it my job to DPS? A new perspective.

[Fevelle]

This was a pre-emptive move with Gordias. With the fight design revolving around a tight DPS check (thus also a lot of its difficulty), it relegates Healer DPS to being RnG, they wanted you to choose between HPS output/HP and DPS consistency. This is primarily to prevent or delay early progression.

TL;DR: screw players, let's not only make the worst DPS check in the game but also completely remove a stat from one of the roles!
