The Healer DPS Problem, The Toxicity it incites

[Zeastria]

I never get the design philosophy Where healer needs to contribute to dps check. I admit l am biased because l used to play warcraft and l also play gw2 right now. After l looked at a parse after a gw2 raid, l see a dps did like 10 times more damage than me, and my friends told me that's normal because as a support, my job is to keep people alive and maintain their offensive buffs. I feel that's how healer/support should be...

Agree, the whole point of having different roles is for them to be different...
Never understood the need to turn every role into a DPS..
If i wanted to play DPS - i would have played a DPS!
