The arrogance of some people

[Kaurie]

If you could have prevented a problem and chose not to, then the consequences of that problem are at least partially on you. It may be on others as well, if they also could have prevented the problem, but that doesn't take away your own part of the situation, and it's the healer's effectiveness that's under discussion in this thread. The most effective healer is the one who can keep everyone up even when everything goes south, not the one who can generally keep everyone up, but only so long as nothing goes wrong.

I completely disagree with this mentality. It's not how we act in real life and it shouldn't be how we act in-game. That said, a great healer will sometimes be able to also keep a party from wiping when everyone else fails. It's great as a Ninja that you are able to so easily pass off the burden of a parties success on another player. That is very commendable.
