Stupid stuff people say in parties

[Zholi]

Yes as a WHM you should never be expected to heal as it is not your job although if a healer did decide to heal during a fate they would notice you can get gold that way. Kudos though on being able to play a WHM proper!

You can't get gold by healing. You get gold by getting on mobs' hate list. This is why people just spam medica. We do it to tag mobs. The fact that it heals you is purely incidental. If I heal someone and they aren't on the hate list for a mob, guess what I get out of it? Jack squat.

You're a pretty bad WHM then. If you're a WHM, you heal. Simple.

Don't like healing, then I've got some bad news for you. I would have booted you out of my group and got a healer who wants to actually do their job.

This thread was made for people like you.

FATE groups are not actual groups. People invite ANYBODY who is shouting, regardless of their role. I've been in groups with 4 healers. I've been in groups with 0 healers. When people join FATE, they are NOT there to do their job, they are there to get XP, and NOTHING else.

And guess what? I do like healing. I like it a lot. But I don't do FATE to "do my job" and neither does ANYONE else. If you think otherwise, you are simply delusional. Instances are for doing your job.

When I join a FATE as a WHM I join so I can...
1. get exp for each kill the party makes
2. get gold by doing what a WHM is best at... healing.
by healing pt members and casting protect, stonskin, esuna, etc.... you get just as much credit as the DD that is burning tgts or the tank that is tanking them. Plus you get exp from each mob kill, but to each his own I guess.

I do all of that in FATE, but it's purely as a courtesy. The healing I do is for hate generation, not HP restoration. I do nothing BUT heal in FATE, even if nobody needs healing.

i disabled my party bar at hud-layout setting when i play as WHM

And all the tanks who run around in FATE spamming flash are bad. All the BLMs who run around spamming blizzard 2 are bad. Don't they know fire 2 does more damage? Transpose exists for a reason!

You idiots need to get it through your heads that FATE parties are not ACTUAL parties. People group up to leech XP off each other. Most people join and leave parties without so much as saying a word. Why? Because it's FATE. People make parties with 4 tanks, 3 healers, and 1 DD. Why? Because it's FATE. Tanks don't tank. DPS don't maximize DPS. And yes, healers don't heal. Why? Because it's FATE. If you want to get mad at someone, get mad at SE for creating the situation. Don't get mad at me for having to deal with it.

It's a mindless zergfest. You want to treat me like I'm a bad person for adjusting my playstyle to match that, like EVERY other person doing FATE in a zerg of 300 people, when each one was balanced for 4-8 people? Go to hell.

I heal people through Titan HM. I heal undergeared people through Garuda HM when they can't kill the adds in time to prevent the mini-ultimate. Mini-ultimate goes off EVERY time adds spawn, yet I and the other healer manage to keep everyone alive the whole time. But because I don't use Esuna in time on some bitch in FATE when she runs up to me demanding it in all caps (she was at 5% HP, it went off, but she died anyway because apparently the spell went off after she died), I am, LITERALLY, the worst healer ever. Makes sense.
