The arrogance of some people

[Yukariko]

Um, if their mentality is "it's not my job to manage YOUR MP" or "it's not my job to manage threat, I'm not the tank." Then, yes, yes you can.

cool cool,

because TBH healers can't win, tanks get comms just for showing up, I keep everybody at 100% and shielded i'm "lazy" I stance dance like a pro which means I sometimes yo-yo the tanks HP "I'm bad at healing"...

I main a SCH. This is far from my experience in-game. I never get accused of being lazy or being a bad healer. I just show up, do my best, nobody ever has anything bad to say. Comms are nice, I get them often, but not all the time. IDK, I feel like this is normal.

If you're getting reamed by your parties constantly, has it occurred to you that you may actually be doing something wrong?

ETA for some humor: If you're after comms, the best way to do it is to let a DPS die and then insta-res them. They will assume they stood in a mechanic or something and that you were right on top of it for saving them so fast. Works EVERY time. Now, whether or not those comms were because you were a "good" healer is debatable.

Oh no, I never get anything bad in parties, just the usual "hello" at most, if I'm lucky, but the way these massive threads pop up on the forums every month or so about if/when/should a healer DPS, it just feels like that's how it is, coming from the noisy minority here.

What? That is ridiculous, you have no idea if that is true or not.

Just depends on the people that are in the party. Sorry you're having bad luck with comms >.>

On topic: I really don't care if a healer DPS's or not, as long as we get through faster than the speed of snail. although if you are standing around pressing no buttons I do question how you are not falling asleep at your machine.

QFT: I get more comms as a healer than a tank. Prolly cause I'm an alright healer and a really crappy tank. Ahahaha....

Lol Maybe, hard to say, comms seem very random. Like I got 3 on monk the other day.... I really suck at monk, and I despise it too, but OCD compels me to finish all the jobs, and that is one on the list /sigh, all I could think though, is that either A. they were in a premade or B. they were drunk... then there is the very unlikely C. that I don't suck at monk as bad as I think I do.

I'm leaning at B, personally.
