Healing and you!

[Razzle]

Cancer - I had the thing CLAIMED (As in- It was Red named for me).
Did the first Aero, and let people zerg it while healing everyone.

Bronze.

Thanks SE.

Needless to say, next time I meet it, I'm changing Job... ( > . > ;

I got a silver for that

Um that's the whole point. Silver is not worth it, healers should be rewarded not less than damage dealers for supporting the players.

And when you do special FATEs that drop items (like Cancer) you only get the drop for getting a gold medal, so good luck getting that by doing your job and healing ( - . - ;

I'm not a damage dealer either, I did a total of 150 damage with my shield lob. I would say silver was worth it for standing in a safe area resurrecting people to go fight for me when I was 7 levels below the recommended level. However I feel your pain on cancer, gotten nothing but gold as a tank.... but as an archer I couldn't get anything higher than silver even though I was using my strongest attacks and dots. Dude is weird.
However straight up not doing your job with a reason of "I can't get gold" is unacceptable, there has to be a way. Hopefully until SE fixes the heal vs damage you all can find the balance.

Just one more reason for me to hate FATEs as much as instances with random people. Just today I had to take tanking role from the only "real" tank in a Fate battle when he died after nobody bothered to heal him even when requested many times. The place was filled with casters and archers. (Not sure why the two lancers just ran around hitting every now and then, maybe they were so under geared.)

I tanked with my poor pugilist for good 4 minutes. Just before the boss died, I died too (as there was no single heal). I asked very politely to have at least a ress..

I watched in awe when about 30 people just vanished. No ress.. no comment.. no nothing.

And they wonder why so many people rather do solo quests and hate all the "socializing" in this game.

If you lose a bit of exp for not blasting all the time, so what.. you can save the whole instance/fate with a few well timed and located heals, and sometimes gain a good friend too to help you out with your gaming - or irl, even..

People in a group seem to share your xp rewards at least. I know when duoing as conj with my lancer partner we both get the same amount of XP, gil and such at the end of the fight, so I let him do the damage while I heal.

Cancer
-snip -

yeah the fate reward system is flawed sometimes.
i've done Cancer 2 times from the very start, healed some people and wasted all my CNJ mp into damage. got silver both times.
3rd time i got there at about 25% HP left, did basically the same thing, got gold.
go figure.
