It's inference, because you're only passive-aggressive and hostile to anyone who doesn't like current healer design. Which is largely pressing one button. Over and over and over again.Quote:

10-08-2021, 09:58 AMAword3213Yes, apparently being passive-aggressive towards someone(not me) who likes current healers is totally acceptable.Quote:

10-08-2021, 10:24 AMGrimoire-MAs said person you responded to, probably worth noting you only responded to -half- my first response, where I course corrected immediately after the cheeky dunk precisely to get people to see that it's not because I don't have empathy for the person I responded to. 'I like that it's not hard' isn't a tenable position in the long run. Hell I'm on a third alt atm carrying family and their friends through MSQ fights so they can enjoy the story for what it is. When they try to heal they encounter panic issues and can't ABC past 70% uptime. Am I gonna tell them that? NO. But when they express interest in Savage or ask why I sound bored as I'm doing callouts and fixing their mistakes, I'm going to be honest about it and say "Whether you get good at this game or not you're going to hate healers in the long run, play something else unless you like the stress. That's the lifeblood of the role in any MMO".Quote:

Holy priest is the most basic, but it still juggles more DPS spells than current WHM while healing, and has actually interesting and well-designed healing abilities. My personal favorite is Monk, where your entire game plan is maintaining MP via melee attacks while managing your burst heals, AOE heals, regens and soothing mist uptime. I'd highly recommend looking into it even if you don't want to play WoW.Quote:

I'm not a healer, but I feel bad for you guys. Know that we tanks aren't off any much better. I sincerely hope they look into these issues, healing sounds like a bore to me.

10-08-2021, 10:35 AMAword3213and I consider only my first sentence of my response is kinda passive-aggressive.Quote:

10-08-2021, 10:51 AMGrimoire-MAnd yet I've heard enough from other players about its overall character progression systems to know I would hate playing it in spite of that. Warframe's an amazing shooter I literally cannot play anymore because of its bloated systems that rely on the that core loop being good. Path of Exile turns on my number crunching brain in a good way but it went that way for me too and it's not time-gated at all. If I'm sitting down with a group to grind out some fights together, I'd rather be playing XIV, because the general upkeep is so much less by comparison. Half my static is full of healer mains. Same with my CWL. The fact it gets so much right is why this is such a blight on its experience.Quote:

From a standpoint that's so close to being objective, that it's genuinely astounding that anyone can defend it.Quote:

2. Although toxic isn't the right word in Sebazy's case, I don't think Sebazy was toxic. The reply he made was a little bit aggressive. I only had problem with that reply alone, which means when next time Sebazy making comment on things, I would treat his opinions fairly instead of judging him based on his post history. In short, if i must use your word "toxic", I don't think anyone is a toxic person. I only have problem with toxic replies.
3. same in Sebazy's case, that thread was asking about " Has anyone quit healing." One of the replies are "Nope, if anything the EW leaks have me even more excited to be a healer." And that reply was called White knighting. How does it have anything to do with objective standpoint? There wasn't one to begin with. That reply was simply an answer to a Yes or NO question. How does it even relate to genuine, measured argument of shitty designed healers?
4. Sebazy and I ended up trading blows. We were fine.
I think you should relax. -
10-09-2021, 01:52 AMGrimGaleI don't think being passive-agressive and snarky at people helps any side of the argument. If anything it might destroy any sympathy for it.Quote:

That being said, it is easy to bait responses by being polemical, to make others upset so that they make fools of themselves.
One can't be too careful when discussing things on the internet.
