Why you should play a healer!

Not sure why you're so intent on using A4S as your hill to die on. Most people I've talked to have said that the insane DPS requirements nearly killed the raiding scene in this game. Not to mention that tier absolutely depended on healers and tanks optimizing their DPS contribution to make ends meet. Considering that...maybe we shouldn't pray for unnecessarily strict DPS cutoffs from now on...

It also doesn't refute my point either. All content has a min group wide DPS requirement to meet in order to clear the content. It doesn't matter whether those members have 99th percentile parces or 50th percentile parses, as long as the group meets the minimum DPS cutoff, and successfully navigates the mechanics simultaneously, they'll defeat the encounter. And that's all the game, within itself, cares about. Sure, world first DPS can't be sloppy (but they still make mistakes), but that makes up less than 1% of the playing population of this game. Gordias just happened to set that cutoff well above what was healthy for the community.

And yeah, when you say so intently healers are a breeze to play, some people will take that as their efforts and overall contributions are not as valued...which is a shitty attitude to bring to a thread aimed at attracting new healers.
