Why do people hate on tanky healers?

[Marcusow86]

Sounded like...Hey i am too good to be true, everyone should warship me, i am different and i am the best.

Good for you, your epeen just grew out of proportion. One question to you, solo heal what content tho, i am very curious.

TLDR;

if you're wearing accessories from other classes because you think the "hp will help" you... you're wrong. also slightly bad, imo.


there is nothing in this game that having over 5khp as a healer will save you from, no matter how stupid you are.

Just briefly skimmed over those 18 pages of epic nonsense, so please forgive me if I say or ask things, that have already been said before. Can someone of the "tanky healer" faction please explain the reason or advantage of bringing a tanky healer? I mean, what's the point for bringing a tanky healer instead if a more conventional healer, that can survive through any content while bringing tons of additional heal output?

[sheepysheepy]

with some melded stuff i ran with 4.9k for a long time and only lost 12mnd against higher ilvls (and gained some det/speed/crit)
thought it was a pretty fair trade to swap 12mnd for about +27vit/+24speed/+16det/+12crit or numbers similar to that

[Lemon8or]

It's not the melded stuffs that the OP is trying to defend. He's using tank stuffs with parry, accuracy and possibly skill speed which are all useless for healers. Sacrificing mind for those stats you listed is ok since it helps in other ways. Sacrificing mind for the stats I listed is not.

:'D lots of things r wrong with me.
But then again all my bs will probably be viable in 2.2 XD
Time to make it or break it!

Umm, how can you think your "bs will probably be viable in 2.2" when you haven't even cleared the current content, obviously it isn't working now if it doesn't get your through Titan/Ifrit EX and turn 5.

Not to mention you won't even be able to do the new fights in 2.2 until you clear these.

[skaterger]

As soon as he gets landslided and takes a dirt napped then i think that is called getting carried. So if i had to solo heal which i could, means i am all the better healer.
Lol u should have seen when i let the other ilvl 80 something healer take a dirt nap for the whole fight. So hilarious, because the other healer to no avail is forced to be carried.
They get mad, i solo heal perfectly fine, party stay happy , other healer knows they suck and then proceed to swear and leave.

Wow this really the cake. You should have just started with this elitist nonsense instead of beating around the bush for 18 pages. Lest you forget, pve in an mmo is supposed to be played cooperatively not competitively. I suggest you focus your efforts on pvp but I'll bet you will ragequit once you face better players or play a single player game so people aren't affected by your selfishness.

I'll also wager you are one of those healers that keep parsers on all the time and start swelling up with pride when you have higher healing numbers than other healers.

Let me make things real clear for you so you understand. What you are doing only works for content on farm. Try playing the hero for progression raids and see what happens. If you are in my static you will be booted instantly with that attitude of yours.

lol u guys
I may not be super omg vizble for 8 mans, but when it comes to 4 mans.
I have the ability to break/ manipulate the boss mechanics.
But i shall await the nerfs that will come in 2.2
You know, so its easier? :^)
Not for me but for everyone.
Cuz i will probably never make or be in a static.
I am a pugger / DFer for life!
Jeez lol there is no rush in clearing content fast, but if / when i do i would like to do it a different way and if no else disagrees with me in my party then imo its even better.
So y not u guys who think there's only 1 way to do things go stay in ur statics lol and go and complain about player lockouts.
While us odd minded ppl have fun at each other expenses ! XD

Maybe check back after 2.2 and change your comment lol
Cuz im pretty sure there will be an hp average raise. Cuz u know..... New content will hit harder than the previous :^D
So next time say " there is nothing in this game currently " so you don't create a miscommunication.
Also hmmm.... Having an extra 1700 hp+ helps me survive stuff when i have to sacrifice some hp to a plume / attack in order to heal a tank immediately so he won't die cuz the other healer is trying to dodge?
I often see this in ultima HM.

[Yumi_umi]

I guess people forget what it's like to be not in a static,how every fight usually ends up being different from the previous run.
