Dear PLDs

Why is this bad. So many healers are forced into DPSing.. A heal from the tank allows them to do more DPS...

No one is forcing them to do anything but their role they signed up for when they joined the duty finder. If they are doing anything above and beyond, fine, but stop sacrificing your primary role in the group.

Well healing draws aggro so it seems perfectly acceptable from that line of thought.

It will not pull the mobs from the tank who know what he is doing.

Healer should be there for heal, not for dealing damage.
Leave damage dealing to dps, they have better aoe's.

I ment in regards to PLDs using Clemancy, shoulda said that.

You can establish aggro and use your Total Eclipse and do some AoE damage to contribute there's literally no reason to spam Flash until you're blue in the face.

You are such an entitled little baby. Healers are adventurers too, and they're there to kick ass and clear dungeons. I can't count the number of times that my dumb ass has been saved over the years from an overpull with a swiftcast + holy combo, or as I've taken to calling it, "Shock and Awe." When you're running with a dpsing healer that knows what she's doing, the only words to describe it are "smooth as fuck." Shit gets buttoned up fast. Why would anyone be opposed to that? You may as well tell me not to fell cleave while tanking.

And that had nothing to do with what you quoted from me, and a different issue. And, the issue was originally about PLD using Clemency. That's fine, I main PLD now, DRK is trash, utter trash. So, the next time I'm at 10% health and the healer is spamming DPS Stone and Holy, because they wanna be l337 in the group, that's fine too. They can expect a healthy ear of 'WTF'.

Except many of them don't. Aero III into Thin-Aired / PotM-ed Holy spam with a dose of Assize is more burst AoE DPS than most DPS jobs are capable of.

While I agree that DF plds spamming clemency isn't optimal... This is a pretty petty complaint.
