I'm not saying dps are excused from facetanking things from beyond but tbh then I have smartasses like Kehego claiming that dps shouldn't, but healers can, because it's nobody business if they spend every global self healing instead of healing the raid. Wtf is this line of thinking even. I'm sick and tired of healers in raid teams getting special treatment all the time. Dps get smacktalked for whoring the meters or dying to stupid shit, but healers? The amount of times I've wiped in the raid because healers can't focus heal a debuff. From doomfire and shackles on Archimonde in HFC through bombs on Merkarorque and then the "no dispel strat" mythic Ilgynoth... I hate the attitude "it's nobody's business what healers do with their globals" because all it leads to is HPS padding instead of spot healing the people who are meant to be healed by the encounter design.
And tbh many dps classes have ways of helping themselves with the ghosts, things like stuns, banish, trap, feign death, frost nova, ams and so forth. If they aren't using it, then they're probably bad players who also don't interrupt, purge or dispel in m+. I swear so many times I go to Hivemind trash in the raid and druids aren't dispelling themselves from the poison and just die. Why wouldn't you lose 1 global of your dps to save yourself? Why don't you have a UI that shows you dispellable debuffs? When I'm on a class that can dispel poison and I see these debuffs go I tend to prio classes that cannot dispel themselves assuming classes that can will prio themselves rather than others. And so many times people die even though they could save themselves with 1 button press.
