I was saying: Healers "have to do" 2 jobs at once: Healing and Dpsing?
But DPS/Tank classes only DPS/Tank and dont heal the party? They only do 1 thing?

Think of it less like having to perform two roles, and more like "everyone else is hitting something every 2.5 seconds, I only have to heal like three times per minute, and I have these skills at my disposal that are useful, so why not use them?"

All of those damage skills are part of the job, and it's not like you're expected to dps in the same way a dps does, with a rotation and cooldowns and all that jazz. You aren't ACTUALLY performing two roles at all.

I think you missunderstood lol

In Short
(In dungeons: )
Healers = Healers
Not Healers = DPS + Healer class

As a SCH I can dps the WHOLE TIME in dungeons, I just cast Adloquium and Stoneskin before pulls, because Eos' regen is strong enough to let me dps as much as I want without casting a single heal in the whole dungeon.
Same with AST regen ^

So by your logic, as a healer, I should do nothing the whole dungeon but cast a single heal before every pull. That's like 5 or 6 spells in 15 minutes, or you have been active 12~seconds in 15 minutes. If that isn't lazyness I don't know what it is.

Healers are healers. I Still wont DPS at all lol... people these days...
Or DPS classes can heal the party?

No hate, just a question here from a fellow healer. Will you also not cast things like Stoneskin, Protect, or any other support ability that doesn't directly heal your party? Because yes, healers are healers, we have an amazing range of support abilities including buffs, barriers, cleanses, and dps. So if you don't see the value in dps because it's not a heal, are the other support abilities also without value?

the point is some people make , like always some are way to aggressive about it XD , its like ur just looking for somethign that u dont like to call others bad , thats not really motivating , ur just asking to be trolled in df ^^

This is a great change. A lot of people are saying 'Playing a healer will be boring now!' Well, I'll take it being boring if it's reliable for a larger group of folks. Changing CS into a buff adds a degree of lag proofing that was sorely needed. Now folks might be far less hesitant about DPS in dungeons knowing that it's no longer a choice between potentially killing everyone to throw some rocks and making sure everyone lives at the cost of ignoring half your abilities. Now all they need to do is upgrade Hall of the Novice to enforce to new players that doing damage IS part of the job now.

Hard to believe that 1. based on what we know now, DPS will be even a bigger part of healer role in SB, and 2. everyone here seems happy about it.

[MomomiMomi]

Exactly what I wanted. I'm happy with this.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Dammit yoshi-p you was suppose to destroy the "heals should dps" side, not join it.

[Raim]

Nobody is going to force you to DPS, but they reserve the right to vote kick for not doing it as always. I don't know why someone would enjoy standing around doing nothing half the time.
