Is it bad to only like DPS?

[BraveheartRamo]

Enjoy the game in any way you like, there is nothing wrong with favoring dps, I have friends who don't find themselves as dps and prefer tanking or healing. I started as smn and it's my favorite job and will always be, I have had the chance to enjoy every job till I got them all to 60 and till now I find myself going back to my main. The fact that you are concerned about switching jobs makes you among those who give an effort with other jobs especially in classes like tanks and healers and that's what makes a good one.

There is not a problem on like only DPS. What is bad is DEMAND all classe de DPS. A common thing in this forum...

All roles have negative stereotypes about the people who main them, and even though the stereotypes are often true you're fine so long as you don't live up to them

Me and my mates enjoy variety in our roulette, so we go as whatever we feel is best, sometimes we go without a tank just for a giggle.

Overall, I enjoy doing roulette as a Bard and Scholar the most, but I can do any other job I have geared up just fine.

I have the opposite problems. All my friends want to heal. Dungeons take forever x_x

Indeed, it's just people choosing to be bad by ignoring that glorious Cleric Stance.

Nah, nothing wrong with loving only the deeps classes. I myself love tanking or dpsing, but healing is the worst. XD Don't even have time to enjoy myself, just constant stress from being expected to be perfect at all times as well as pushing dps, even in PUGs! It's a shame because I like playing astro and their card system, but the community can be such a pain.

I think one of the strong points of the game is that you're free to focus on whichever role you prefer If you aim to do harder content such as raids then statics may prefer if you're more flexible, but with such a large community I don't think it'd be a problem to find one that can fit your preferences.

As someone who prefers to play healer or support classes I can empathise with this. It's unfortunate that not everyone is willing to be accepting of other's playstyles, but I think the game design only exasperates people's expectations of healer dps. As a healer I tend to focus on maximizing dps because it's expected of me as opposed to actually enjoying it, but I think this is a problem distinct to healers as well.

I like playing all 3 but as a tank I can't really speed things up that's the DPS job + the healer if they have time to DPS my favorite DPS for dungeons is probably summoner I love destroying everything and using Bane + Deathflare. My heals go to is either Sch or Ast since I can bring the DPS on either or I can support a DPS on my Ast, Whm is in the works but it has Holy + it's own burst DPS so i'm looking forward to that.

My advice is just play what you feel comfortable/enjoy playing only you know what you wanna play, if you're like me who enjoy being a good DPS and pushing numbers/supporting the group then I understand completely we tanks can only do so much.
