The arrogance of some people

[Lollerblades]

If I want to DD, I'll go as DD. If I want to tank, I'll go as tank. If I want to heal, I'll go healer.

If I have time to, I might indulge in throwing some dots out. But I won't have anyone trying to force me to do it.

You no like, tough. That's your problem not mine. Pay my sub, then tell me what I should and shouldn't be doing.

Im not saying this on the topic of healer DPS just making a comment about this reply.

This is without a doubt one of the worst replies anyone can say to any subject. You may pay your sub but so do other people and by going into instances and saying "I pay my sub I can play how I like" is ignorant and rude. They also pay their subs.

Again this is not on the topic of Healer DPS this is just a general reply to how stupid that comment is.

Don't expect commendations if you don't want to help out with DPS then.

Don't expect commendations if you don't want to help out with DPS then.

My commendation count is quite healthy, thanks for worrying though.

Excuse me it is not being lazy. I took healer to heal not DPS. If I wanted to DPS I would play a DPS class. If I keep everyone alive then I am doing my job.

Do you also expect the DPS to throw heals too? If no then why do you expect healers to DPS?

I expect DPS (such as myself) and Tanks to use their self heals when they screw up a mechanic and take unnecessary damage.

Killing the monster faster is keeping people alive. Dead things can't hurt you.

I could argue by playing inefficiently you should be paying for the sub of the other people you're running with because you're wasting their time.

I get plenty of commendations without having to DPS.

Thank you for your concern though.

"I'm a healer! I'm a healer! I only heal!"

No you're not just a healer you're a White Mage. You're a Scholar. You're an Astrologian. All 3 of these classes offer much more than just healing. I personally judge the healer roles in mmos by how well they can do their secondary job as well as doing their primary job. The secondary job can differ from game to game, and in the case of FF14 our secondary role is dealing damage.

People are only looking at the roles and not looking at the class itself and what it has to offer. Also...."I'm not lazy, I'm just tired and don't feel like dpsing after a long day at work! I want to relax!" *coughstilllazycough*

And you'd get even more if you did
