    Would you kick a DPS if they only attacked for 20% of a dungeon?

    Why is it acceptable for a healer to only heal 20% of a dungeon and afk the rest?

    With healer damage buffs for Legion I hope the playerbase picks up a lot more quickly, than it has been, that healers should be doing more than twiddling their thumbs.

    Tank self healing is absurd, over gearing dungeons, bosses not dealing anywhere near enough dmg to pose a threat, and during downtime when no1 requires healing healers are slacking instead of doing dmg...

    Yes I would kick a DPS only DPSing 20% of the instance, it's their job to do as much damage as possible.

    It's a healer's job to ensure the group stays alive. If people are dying a lot because healing is low I will kick the healer. If they're not dying, there's no problem.

    The healers role isnt to do damage. Sure a good one should, but as long as people arent dying I say they are acceptable..

    If no one dies, should you kick a healer for low (damage) uptime? Is this what you're really asking?

    No. Not in my opinion.

    are people dying? and if they are is it because they took a cleave to the face or stood in avoidable damage. If they answer is no? then the healers job is being done.

    If healing isn't needed, Healer should go dps spec and do something.

    "Hey, this is pretty easy! We can do this without the healer - let him sleep in the corner!"
    The entitlement these days is absurd.

    So do you kick the tank because stuff is dying to quickly? Since stuff is dying fast the tank isn't doing much tanking so does that make them a failure as a tank?

    Well from the sound of it they would have died 20% of the time without one.. So...

    Your point makes 0 sense in the terms of the OP considering most tanks are doing way too much damage at the moment(tank is doing 2 jobs then unlike he's saying the healers are barely doing 1 job).

    If you lived what is there to grief about? If you finish the dungeon without anyone dying/dps pulling shit there is no problem.

    No. I think if the healing is that easy with your healer/tank gear then someone should tell the tank to pull more packs.

    oh sure pick on the healer when I see DPS constantly tunnel vision on bosses, ignoring kicks, adds, mechanics, objects for fights.... just cus your 100% fighting doesn't mean your doing your job you can be active on every boss and be a complete scrub and a wasted slot.
    The world was just as bad when you were young as it is today. You only see it now because of your age.

    and he does that damage because he does a special rotation that does more damage? No they just do their tanking rotation and it does more damage than they did before which will be nerfed soon.

    I play as a dps and healer (and I don't dps at all in my healer even tho I would like to do that a little but i am not used to do the healing and dps) and I would kick any dps that slack, while the healer will only be kicked if he cant do his healing job in the normal circumstance. (Yet healers try their best to keep "idiot" people alive because I doubt they would enjoy seeing someone in their party die (in few circumstance they would!)

    Been kick a few times to many due to low DPS?

    I sense LARGE amounts of salt here.
