Is there some unspoken rule to not use Esuna/Leech?

As long as the enemies are dying and the party is not, what's the difference?

Exactly the mindset we are trying to fight here.

Why bother playing the job right if you can just skip and get the commendation anyways?

Oh and yes I totally agree!!! This damned berserk macro!!! I also try to make a point by NOT dispelling the debuff, see if the tank gets it.

Does not compute. In one comment you state that you purposefully ignore removing a debuff simply because the WAR is trying to be helpful with a macro, but then chide someone for their nonchalance towards healing duties.



As a side note, I'm proud of this forum for finally coming full circle. Started with the tank-hate thread, then DPS, and finally healer (although "hate" is probably a slight stretch currently for this thread). <3

If you read the whole post, you will get my point. I don't mind a simple macro that reminds me to remove the debuff on berserk. I personally don't need it, I pay attention, it will be done unless something more important comes up. But those 5 lined macros with multiple clings and ding dongs, starting when berserk is activated, midway when there's 10 seconds left and another when it's due... I understand there are healers who don't pay attention or don't bother, but it's annoying, not helpful, blatantly spamming and I will make my point across by not dispelling pacification.

As I see it, you don't need to tell me what you are doing or what you need with a shiny cling-cling macro, may it be your Eye for an Eye or Blunt Arrow or whatnot. Just do your job and I'll do mine.

Well, unless you actually say something to them about their macro, they'll probably continue thinking they are doing their healers a favor. Most people don't make macros to be annoying on purpose. It's amazing how many annoyances within a community can be solved with just a little communication.
