there's a lot of sensitive people in this game

[Whiston]

OP nailed it on the head. There are WAY too many overly sensitive people playing this game.

Exhibit A: Everyone in this thread butthurt by the notion that anyone, anywhere could possibly suggest a healer DPS at all.

I guess the following also applies:

*I'm bad at listening to music because I can't read music.

*I'm bad at foreign languages because I don't know them all.

*I'm a bad milk drinker because I get a milk mustache.

These are just ridiculous analogies. You are either a bad troll or a shining example of people being "overly sensitive" or "overly dramatic" (ya know the title of the thread).

I always think that the forum is where over sensitive people go to. Am i wrong?
Hence how the OP started this topic after being kicked..
Shrug.. Didnt i say that i'd just make a good/bad ridiculous statement?

[lvlagmarink]

I don't quite buy that every healer who sits there staring into the sunset while occasionally casting a regen or a cure II on the tank is disabled.

Even at high pings you can weave in more damage, unless you're talking something absolutely obscene, such as 400+ ping.

At times i have a cat who would jump on top of my laptop and trying to paw my nose. So i need to focus on and dodge 2 attacks at once.. At times i'm just lazy.. At times i'm just sleepy, on another times i'm eating while healing.. At times i'm watching tv as well.. It really depends on the mood.. Ya know.. Would you just call me bad or would address it as there are times i'm being bad? Since i dpsing too as healer.. Contents are cleared most of the times and i never got kicked..

Ya, I took your statement as being facetious not malicious. However, it does read as being smugly sarcastic to the OP.

And also:

*I'm a bad milk drinker because I get a milk mustache.

PRO L33TS USE STRAWS YOU NOOB!!!

What are you even saying here? It's not like I'm going around going "OMG NUB" every time I see a healer not DPS, but on the flip side it's also well within my rights to be mildly annoyed if they refuse to DPS while not healing for 10+ seconds.

There are plenty of legitimately good reasons not to DPS in a variety of content, not least of all high spike damage on certain mobs which can catch you unprepared if you're stuck in cleric stance. On the whole, I think most healers are fine throwing out a bit of damage here and there, but to expect it as the norm is just silly.

Hot-swapping between clerics stance takes practice, and I've seen plenty of new healers get 'stuck' in clerics because they're desperately throwing out cures which lack in potency to keep up with unexpected damage and don't dare take the time to swap out for fear of losing the tank. Or worse, those who tried to swap out but due to lag ended up re-activating clerics so have to wait for the recast to tick down to disable it.

As long as the healer does their primary job of keeping everyone alive, all is fine. If they add damage, that's a bonus, but I'm not going to expect it from everyone and nor should anyone.

And all of this can easily be avoided and ignored by simply knowing the content. So assuming you aren't a brand new healer, and have completed the dungeon a few times before, you should probably know these things and it would be a little considerate if at the times when you have downtime, contribute to the DPS.

Can I also assume the otherwise, Healer is new and inexperienced to the content? I can not prove it nor you can prove my assumption is wrong. So don't expect anything with pure assumption is a wise idea.

This is the honest truth of it right here. Most healers in these dungeons that don't dps are just lazy. They are looking to get their roulette done while semi afk. Pressing a button to heal every once in a while while doing something else.

Medica 2 and Regen. Basically can get away with only having these two skills on your bar for a lot of things. They also cost quite a good amount of MP so you look like you doin stuff. Hue.

maybe someone should rename the name of the thread or move to healer section already ,because this kinda completely off topic.

I don't think this going to end anytime soon 100 people 100 thought , 100 man 100 reason.
no one going to win in here just play the way you usually play and successful with , they not going to change the way they play because someone told them to ,until they face the trouble that force them to change it.
