All DPS clears highlight a problem with encounter design in ShB

[Morningstar1337]

While I'm not against Helaer DPS, one can't help but wonder if all these problems could had been avoided (or at least changed into something else) if SE was a little less...lazy with quest and overworld design. As it stands the reason healers even have attack spells to begin with was so they can clear the myriad quests that needed them to kill several mobs, which really killed the "pure healer" angle they would eventually try to gun for before the Bahamut clears.

I bring this up because there is a precedent for objectives that required healing, (mostly in the healer quests, natch), and also because there is a precedent for quest objectives changing depending on the class in both the Qitari questlines and to a greater extent, the Namazu questlines.
