How scared should I be about DPS?

[Sumizu]

I haven't gotten to the the hardest content yet, but from my personal experience so far I like to DPS as healer too just because it's boring to stand there and watch health bars go down or maybe occasionally dodge some AoEs. If everyone's topped up on health and won't be dying anytime soon, heck, I'll Stone or Holy some mobs if I want to >:v Besides, outside of a boss you have more than enough MP to both DPS and heal.

However, DPS as healer is by no means necessary and let nobody tell you otherwise. DPS is certainly welcomed, to help speed things up but if someone criticizes you because you haven't been doing any then give them a kick in the shin on my behalf and carry on doing you. I mean, until they somehow come out with a healer class that lets you heal based on outputted damage, it should be optional that a healer do anything other than heal.
