Dps As Healer

We need fewer healers and more tanks and DPS. My healer queues are not instant, forcing me to tank. Nobody can understand my struggle as I wait two, maybe even three, minutes to get into extreme roulette if I stubbornly stay a healer.

I'd stop healing if they were stripped of the ability to do considerable DPS. I get bored to tears being a healbot and love this game for not encouraging that playstyle, don't care what Yoshida's opinion on the matter is. Though it seems his opinion changes often anyway.

I agree with the ones who balance DPS with the healing as healer.

I believe the novice exercises bring up that supplementing DPS as healer can be beneficial if the tank is healthy enough and the fight mechanics cam allow it.

Of course the tank must be reasonably geared and use defensive abilities sufficiently in order for the healers to supplement the dps.

I'd be happy to group with you sometime for a dungeon if you think it's not possible to do substantial DPS and keep DDs alive if they're not bad at the same time . If I'm doing more DPS than the DDs as the healer and they're not dying, something is wrong on their end. But let's ignore the real issues shall we?

That has literally nothing to do with the post you quoted.

They want damage dealing HEALERS, your image suggests no healing at all let dps die.

He's just fishing for likes. Using animal pictures with sensationalist text...don't take it too seriously. If he's really this delusional at level 60 and believes what he posted, I offered to prove him wrong.

Terrible Tiger memes are always a joke.

Honest question - what precisely is the difference between pushing a button that makes green numbers float on the screen and pushing buttons that makes white numbers float on the screen? This isn't an attack, I've honestly always been curious what people mean when they say "I hate being just a 'healbot' like I was in other games" - or whatever that means. If you're doing the same number of actions per minute, except that your actions are healing actions instead of Cleric-Stance-and-DPS actions, does it make that much of a difference? What precisely is the difference? I just can't relate to it.
