Why you love playing healer

[Exiled_Tonberry]

I mean, to be completely honest, it started off because I wanted to be helpful and support the group rather than kill things.

That dissolved more into "I don't trust any of you saplings enough to do the job right!", nowadays.

I feel like this sometimes, but is honestly just how I justify my closet love for killing things. I often say my character has a split personality. One who loves to heal, and one who loves to kill. I just keep the latter 'contained' in a sense. But what it translates to on the field is when healing, I am looking for my opportunity to DPS, and when DPSing, I am looking for my opportunity to heal. Constantly. For me, it is always about casting the appropriate spell, at the most opportune time.

I admit, I have a lot of difficulty letting go of main healing duties to another healer, but it's not because I don't trust them. It is because I want that responsibility, and I will be damned if you take it from me. As SCH in full party, I'm ok with letting go (though I watch the other healer like a freakin hawk). I honestly don't mind healing derps and telling them is'otay so long as they learn, but there are definitely times I wish I could cast repose on another player. Or X-zone... either way.

Crap! As healer, I have killed friend, and foe. Is that bad?
