The idea that we need to DPS must go.

The only way you're clearing week one without healer DPS is if you have absolutely perfect play from everybody (because while fights are not designed with healer DPS in mind, they are designed for a higher ilevel than is available at release) and even then that may not be enough.

Perfect play. Just so 2 people can neglect half of their kit and pick their noses for the majority of a fight. Get out of here with that garbage.

I agree with everything you said except the "half of their kit" part. DPS isn't half of the healer's kit. It should be! But the developers have conspired to make it ever more a slog, and it's not like it was fancy before Shadowbringers either.

I could almost forgive healers in non-Savage/Extreme content for not attacking, for aversion to monotony.
