It is not possible to play without doing dps as healer? every day i find someone...

I've had people complain or just leave the pt because all I did was heal.
Idc I'm still going to main heal, I'll throw in a dps here and there but I'm not 1 of those healers who will allow the tanks health to drop to 10% before healing.
These new kids playing this game have adhd.

The "new kids" have the decency to constantly contribute something meaningful instead of overhealing and semi-afking.
You could learn a thing or two from them.
And 10% is still alive. As long as nobody died it was fine. End of story. You don't get bonus points for keeping someone extra healthy.

Better yet, healing someone from critically low HP gives you bonus LB gauge. The game contains an incentive system for playing chicken with HP.

Pssssst

You don't need to let a tank drop to 10% to do very decent damage.

Here's an older log from back when I actually cared

1 single drop to 30% in the entire dungeon, another to 50%. The rest of the run they were 75% or higher the entire time.

I did 24.59% of the groups dps and the run landed at 97th percentile, so pretty solid.

Not DPSing isn't a Tank's HP problem, it's a you problem.

A shame since Living Dead is basically a DRK's benediction in AOE pulls now. I saw DRKs pop it and decided to stop healing entirely and let them heal themselves.

Felt amazing.

This right here. Tanks have very powerful self healing tools. So the game wants us to heal less! If you treat the healer rotation as a DPS rotation while weaving heals you'll be (still bored but) happier than casting a bunch of slow GCD heals that overheal and the mobs go down sooooo muuuuuch sloweeeeeer....

Until you get to the bosses, who are HP sacks designed to last for ages while doing less damage than the trash.

Or if you actually like healing and pulling people back from the very real danger of death. Then you won't be happier.

Tbh the remedy would be to cut down / merge certain heals on various healers to free up space and actually give Healers a tank-esque amount of damage buttons for an actual playstyle / rotation to form. I mean Sage is doing a good job with that, making Eukrasia modify your single target and AOE heal spell.

You know, like how 4.5 Scholar did.

If they don't die and the next hit won't kill them, then 10% is enough. Your job is to keep them alive, not overheal them to 100% constantly.

Healing is obviously the priority, however there's PLENTY of time to DPS safely and choosing not to is just willingly dragging your feet. Having an "I'll play how I want to" attitude does affect the rest of the players in your party.

honestly healers are so incredibly (boring)easy there are times i just hold the controller in one hand or i manually click and spam DPS spells,
don't even need to cast heals in most normal content.
