Mkay!
FFLogs - Current Damage Rankings

The above link takes you to a site that records parsed dps/hps of any and all boss fights. There's lots of fun settings you can play with, but you can also check out min, average, and max numbers for each individual Job as well based on content. The graph I linked is dps for Midas Normal, All Bosses averaged, best scores for the past two weeks. I figured Midas NM would be a reasonable example because it's fairly easy content, but pseudo raid content.

Healers are at the bottom, but not too far below tanks. And deal approx. within a 50-60% of the damage output from all DPS classes. If you take the time to look through class specific parses, you can see a wider variation of dps outputs from healers. For example, there are parses from a few WHMs hitting 1300 dps or higher. This isn't what I'd call "pretty minimal" by any standard.

Can you do this all the time? No! Will you always pull out these high of numbers? No! (Will your dps? Probably not!) But does that mean a Healer's dps is inconsequential in a dungeon? No. And we should stop treating it like it is. Healers can deal up to roughly half the damage a DPS class can, with 1/3 of the abilities, and still prioritize healing their party if there's not serious damage happening. Even if you only do 300-500 dps, imo, it's still better than nothing. BUT, circling back to my first post- don't attempt to deal 1300 dps as WHM if you're not comfortable with stance dancing. Practice, implement it little by little, and always make sure you're doing the other 2/3 of your job also!

Not once did I say that Cleric Stance or DPS skills are only for solo-play as a healer or for hardcore endgame content. In fact, I essentially said the same thing as the Master of Magicks--that healers can/should DPS (preferably with stance-dancing) if they are comfortable and able, but they should always prioritize healing.


You'd think after all these lore posts I write, my reading comprehension wouldn't be called into question, but this is the internet. You did very much say much the same or similar to the Master of Magicks, and not questioning it. The very first line in my post references your mention of putting Cleric Stance and DPS skills in largely for "solo-leveling" and states this is an opinion seemingly held widely in the community.

If you're not someone who believes it's "only" for solo use and just "largely" for solo use, great! But, apparently according to tumblr, reddit, in game, and RPC, there are many who believe it is "only" for solo use, and that's probably something that should not be encouraged?

If someone asks me to DPS, I'm going to dps and not heal and its your fault if you die! Or, yeah, I'm a healer and I heal to heal so not touching it ever. But that's not how Cleric Stance or "stance dancing" is supposed to work. It shouldn't be 100% on or 100% off. Wax on and wax off as appropriate.

After going back through the thread, I'm not sure where I got the sentiment from?

Quote:You have thusly nearly //forfeited// your right to complain or scream at me if you lose a lot of health or end up dying! Will I still rez you and keep you healed ? Yes, but don't expect that to be a priourity. I mean, after all, I'm doing what you asked and DPSing..
Quote:I play healers because I specifically don't want to DPS.
Quote:Do these amazing heals and if people want -more-, give them less. Let them die or leave the instance, not your fault for healing like you're supposed to.
Quote:I don't expect DPS from a Healer because that's not their job - that's my job. So, no, it's not on my shoulders as a Healer. And it's not on the Tank's shoulders as a Tank. Damage is on the shoulders of the DPS, plain and simple.
Quote:I main a WHM and an AST, and I don't stance dance on either of them. I dunno, I didn't pick a healing class to DPS. If I wanted to DPS, I would've gone Bard, or Summoner-

Okay, I am confused by this? Could you clarify Kilieit, cuz to me it's reading like:
Novice Dungeons - DPS is good, because Hall of Novice is for lowbie content?
Level 60 Dungeons - DPS is bad, because this isn't endgame?
Endgame Content - DPS is good, because elitist raiders?

And I don't think that's what you're trying to say?
