Dps As Healer

[Adire]

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.

I had data at the time. I did tests with WHM (which was my main before HW) and AST (which was going to be my new main). The healing output was enough lower than WHM that the increased risk and difficulty of healing as an AST in a progression raid environment wasn't feasible for most players.

The tests I did backed up this reasoning. So I switched to WHM and I'll just say the difference in efficiency was quite noticeable. Most groups would not accept ASTs in their raid groups or in PF they would lock the slot to WHM and SCH also.

Do you have links to the tests you did? I'd be curious to see numerical results, which were sadly lacking on Google search.

If he's joking then I applaud him, he fooled me.

I'm only fluent in dead memes
