What else do you do when there is no need to heal that contributes to beating the encounter? You can't heal your way past a dps check which this game is filled with.

Furthermore, if you do the hall of the novice which is the tutorial, even the game says throw in damage as a healer.

As you get more skilled at healing and learn the fights more, you need to heal less because you know your kit better and you don't need to watch out for as many mechanics because you know how to solve them and avoid death.

You don't ask a tank to just sit there pushing no buttons after getting aggro with his tank stance on. So you shouldn't sit there as a healer waiting for a hp bar to drop. Do some damage.


Finally, my very first problem that I mentioned in the thread was that there's a lack of dps buttons. If more dps buttons were added, you wouldn't be any further obligated to push them. But while they are not there, the majority of us that do damage while healing feel their absence, particularly when all 3 healer jobs were able to use them. Plus they make the solo duties faster and more entertaining
