Stupid reason to report someone

[Sciwolf]

A good DPS offers utility. Eye for an Eye or Virus, for example, to aid in damage control.

and when was the last time a DPS got called out for not doing eye for an eye/ virus in a GUILDHEST?

Also, big news, healers have to do those too!!!!

Guildhest or no, your statement is still wrong. Good DPS don't just DPS.

yes because talking about korean server merges are much more interesting

I'd say that's a lot more interesting of a read than another healer DPS thread. But you would know that, if you actually read it.

No one calls out dps for not being good in a guildhest. This kind of shit either happens to healers or tanks. Duty finder is infested with absolute garbage dps who have no idea how to do their rotations and no one gives a damn. But a less than perfect healer or tank and omg everyone loses their shit.

It isn't their fault content outside Savage and Extreme primals is so piss easy, you generally don't notice a DPS cheesing mechanics or eating an aoe for positionals. I know full well my capabilities on Dragoon, and if I'm about to pull aggro on trash, I'm already looking to Keen Flurry, Bloodbath and Second Wind because if I do take that mob, I should be prepared to handle it.

The reason healers catch more slack is it's far more noticeable. A Ninja not using Goad isn't standing around doing nothing. Meanwhile, I have had Hullbreaker and Xelphatol runs where the healer literally jumped around the map because they had nothing to do. Ya tend to notice that more.

how about when the last boss on an i210 dungeon takes forever to die? Should the initial reaction be to blame the dps or the healer? Sure the healer is "standing around" but the primary DPS role is:
to DPS!

If you play a DRG or MNK with i240 + gear and need the SCH to help you DPS in an old 4 man dungeon , you need to be called out for it. But they never get called out. They always get a pass for facerolling.

Healers are expected to DPS

Tanks are expected to DPS

But DPS doesn't have to worry about healing nor tanking.

Interesting game mechanic.

Also, who talks in a guildhest?

Funny thing.

If you only heal as a healer, you will often have periods where you don't have to cast a single skill in 6-12s. Arguing that not filling that void with filler DPS is a good way to play is absurd. I could, as a DPS player, only press a GCD every 6-12s, but that is in no way a "good" way to play.

And this is the thing that's absurd. No one argues that it's a "good" way to play while afking through most of the fight aside from some healer players. If I'm pulling 45CPM+ on my Bard, is it fine for a healer to do 10CPM because he only wants to heal?

Anyone can play the way the want in DF, and I'm not gonna kick people unless they become a real problem. But if you don't press a single skill within 6s+ intervals then yes, you are borderline useless (or useful?) and don't deserve a single commendation from me.

No one is expecting Healers to try harder than other classes, but most people prefer healers that don't just stand around like idiots either. Of course the same applies for underperforming tanks and DPS, but those 2 groups rarely act entitled about being crap if they purposefully don't press as much buttons as they can.

because we needed another healer dps thread....

yes because talking about glamour restrictions and korean server merges are much more interesting

If people want dps so bad and ignore the primary role of their job, they should just do content with 8x dps.

When I play tank, I want all that glittery green on me all the time, even when just a tick of my health is off. I want to go all out, and aggro/murder everything in a bloodbath. If people want to whine and cry about a healer not DPS-ing, gtfo of Duty Finder and make your own personal party.
