Stop queuing for PotD if you don't intend to DPS at all.

I wish I could have liked this post more than once. That was basically the point that I was trying to make.

I don't see why people want to argue about this? o_O

Because the Healer role isn't designed that way in FFXIV. You are expected to mitigate damage by whatsoever means necessary. That includes killing the targets faster, thus disabling their ability to damage the party. In fact, Scholar's whole toolkit emphasizes that precise point hence why it's usually designated the DPS healer. Suffice it to say, if a healer refuses to DPS, they forfeit any right to complain if tanks refuse to use cooldowns. After all, their job is to maintain aggro. Simply put, people get annoyed because every other job utilizes its full toolkit. Any healer who won't DPS has effectively thrown away a third of their abilities for no other reason than "I don't want to use them."

It's my sub, I'll play how I want.

Kay. I'll be standing in every aoe and use no cooldowns or self-heals. If you fail to or refuse to heal me, I'll issue a vote kick. I mean, it's only fair. You can't tell me how I should play since it's my sub too.
