Why play support in PVE?

So yesterday was the first time I took my Templar through a group dungeon in Coldharbour as a purely support toon. For some reason I was getting zero XP when my group did all the DPS, and I just stood back and healed. Is this by design? I got no drops, nor XP. It was very frustrating, and a huge waste of time. I figured XP would be split evenly through the group regardless of who did the dps.

Haven't done a group dungeon in Coldharbour, but my heals work everywhere else.... Hell, sometimes I'll get loot credit on some guy who got a tick of a heal.

That is the intended behaviour.0 -

I suppose, just seems strange, I could run througha public dungeon, just randomly pressing heals, and get credit for every person I passed.... Then just pick up loot on my way back.(Not that I've even tried this, just is a weird system)

It's so you can play support roles

Hyperventilate✭✭✭I play healer/DPS sorc and I haven't been having this issue. I randomly heal people we pass by and get credit & loot. We just stumbled into Coldharbour so I haven't seen much of it yet, but up until now it's been working as intended.
ETA: Could it be you outlevel the monster? It would explain no XP and no loot... lots of people have been complaining that they haven't been getting items from lower level monsters.Edited by Hyperventilate on April 17, 2014 12:53PM0 -

I was level 44, and the mobs we were killing were level 50. It's the final group dungeon, so they were all level 50. I just don't get why I would only get XP if I actually did damage to the mobs.
