That's been a consistent issue with too many mages, I agree. I can heal this NM by myself, easily, and don't need help. We only have one who prefers to damage, and I suspect it's for the same reason I don't like to damage. I'm a BS and GS, so half the time my STR and DEX are upwards of 140. As such, it takes me 6 hours to spec into a DPS mage. BS requrires MND, so that's why I prefer healing.
