Sheesh, all you guys out there with Dancer, Red Mage, and the like ...

The easiest DPS role out there, with the fewest buttons to press, has to be either Scholar or White Mage.

lol why are we talking about healers in a dps thread?

But back to the topic of actual dps; Don't let the ability to revive people on RDM be a deterrent. You can setup a macro to target dead people without ever leaving your primary attack target.

/micon Verraise
/ac Verraise <4>
/ac Verraise <5>
/ac Verraise <2>
/ac Verraise <3>
/ac Verraise <6>
/ac Verraise <7>

It will attempt to raise healers first, tanks second, and then dps, and skip anyone who is currently alive assuming you have the default party order in the party list. This macro made reviving much easier for me. Just wait for a dualcast proc to make your next spell instant and then press macro to be the star of the party.

People choosing healers for the easy 3 button dps rotation explains why I get these wild healers who refuse to heal anything in dungeons. Like the dps aspect isnt even fun for a healer so why they cant stop to press medica or cure 2 or even a single regen astounds me. Clearly they are in it for the super chill dps rotation and don't mind constantly wiping.
