Why do people hate on tanky healers?

You didn't finish end game content up-to-date.

Nuff said.

the problem is 5.5k hp ...just isn't enough. If I wanted a tanky healer I would want 6-7k. Because everything seems scripted to around 4k damage on the highest levels.

So if titan ex you can sit on a bomb with 4.3k it makes no difference if it's 5.5k, because you'll live either way, and if you're unlucky enough to get hit with both bombs, that's death no matter which.

2ndly...sorry but I think a tanky sch is bettter suited then a tankly whm. A whm is suppose to excel at big cures, and instant top offs, as oppose to a sch that is more about shields and lustres, with pets that can split their targets.

Healing power is much less of an issue for a sch because by nature the sch's healing powers are pretty darn bad anyway, and is there mostly to let the whm do their job without someone dying.

If that pre-cast cure2 isn't enough to top off the tank, not that great. If a cure3 isn't saving the PT, also not that great...

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.

I don't have a static right now, and I cleared Twin this week.

I also haven't done ANY of the EX Primals with my old static; I've been PFing everything or joining PUGs made through Linkshells. I have even carried multiple people through Titan EX (as both DRG and WHM...a proper WHM) joining PFs.

And guess what? Same server...Healers are constantly in demand in the PF and a proper healer will never have issues jumping between groups until they find a good one. A bad healer will have issues, since they can't heal the content right and groups will constantly fail.


Also, your "tankiness" won't save you in Titan EX at all...stacked Plumes can kill even tanks who are bad at dodging. A WHM has no chance at all if they refuse to learn the mechanics (like you are doing).

Heh heh lol linkshells are the closest things to statics cuz u have a group of regulars but if you DF and PF purely without any connections to an LS then its a whole different level of difficulty.
Also you would have to be really bad to be hit by 2 bombs lol.
Really bad..
Hey Kuku go make a tanky Sch and post ur findings before posting ur info on this thread.
But i bet u won't / couldn't because u'll get mauled by the community like i have.
Also whm's heal more ( i.e burst healing )
Sooooooo a sch wouldn't survive a barrage of ifrit hm attacks cuz his flame breath chunks you down 70-80% of health for healers.
So i would like to see you heal through such easy content lol.
Even your shields won't save you.

[Yumi_umi]

Also probably the highest hp a whm can get via current content is about 5800-6000hp i think must have an i90 allagan ring of fending with full i90 tank accessories with full myth/ allagan left, and an allagan weapon, food too i guess.
Not until 2.2 happens we won't be seeing that 7k happen lol.

You keep bringing up the DF and PF argument. Which is a horrible argument by the way. DF and PF people are unpredictable. More than likely the DPS will eat a few avoidable damage and you will ahve to heal them. A real healer with proper gear and MND will be able to do this faster and better and thus make it easier for them to make up for the others mistakes.


Your VIT build does nothing for helping with others mistakes. It actually makes it harder for your to heal them up because of your gimpy heals. The only thing your VIT lets you do is be bad in that you can take some extra avoidable damage. There is no unavoidable damage that will hurt you enough to need your amount of VIT.

A real healer that can properly move is a better DF and PF healer because we can make up for others mistakes faster and better.

Also, you can edit your posts to get past the character limit. Unless you are trying to up your post count for some reason.

[Zacban]

My thoughts as well Maku.. Extra health rarely covers anyone else's mistakes but your own.

Everything has been said, the guy won't change his mind and he won't change our minds as well. Let him do his stuff and feel special. Also, let this thread die finally, because at this point it honestly feels just like feeding a troll.
