As a healer, is it my job to DPS? A new perspective.

[Feyona]

I hate to say this, but this is the exact reason that people are so hostile to you Feyona, you attack people when things don't go your way and act like all of your answers are fact when very few people share your mentality

So no one has been hostile towards me have they? Ofc not noo that hasnt happenned same as no one has been kicked for not dpsing as healer right. Well I apologise for not having a kindly reaction towards your loving comments of me. Maybe I should just accept healer dps like a good girl and do as Im told , and not have any other opinion of it but yours. Dps healer meta dictates as god ok

I get what she means. If someone messes up your there to heal them. Thats what your there for. If the die your supposed to rez. It may be the team members fault for dying or taking damage but the healer is there to cover those mistakes. So it is the healers fault in a wy but even if it isnt then it may stll be blamed on healer

I get it and of course people blamed me in the past for not healing, while they were standing in everything or not even close in range (24 man content says hello ) of the rest of the group. And at first i took it to heart, but later on as i've grown as an player and healer, i started to filter guys like them and good critisicm out. You or anyone else shouldn't be afraid of people blaming you. Of course if the criticism is valid, think and talk about the situations and try to do better next time. But everyone should learn to understand if an mistake was his fault or not.

Here we go again... If you say something wrong and someone is telling it to you it's only because there is a personal issue involved, obviously. You wish. And that kind of lame answer just confirmed what I just said


And... Wait a minute. Are you saying is acceptable to insult someone because that person laughed ? Wow, such a nice person.
But, you can freely insulting people with no consequences because you didn't use a dumb gif. If only I knew, dammit!

And your behaviour is the model that we should all follow the example of should we? Lets all mock each other and put posts of charatures of people then. That would be really clever and intelligent wouldnt it? Im not a doctor btw . Wanzer and I was never against you either I was trying to have a normal conversation. That you take my comments as disturbing is probably due to your perception of them same as mine are of yours trying to take the micky

really lambadafish I provide at least some evidence it exists

Linking to said evidence would help a lot btw.

It doesnt work because Im a main healer and and I ve xperienced it so I know it does. Denying it doesnt force it to not be there.

I can guarantee that I've healed a *LOT* more savage/extreme groups than you. I've been removed from an end game content group ONCE since 3.0 was released. i'm also 30-60 percentile DPS at best. If you're frequently having issues with groups then mayhap all the time you spend here going round in circles would be better off invested in working on your standard of play?

I take the point, but I think thie whole issue is about , maybe too much expectation all round, possibly leading to resentment or comparisons of how much others have to do perhaps. Im not sure but it seems the message is everyone is expected to work their asses off that may be the consensus of this game but Im not sure if it allows for a more fun experience because most people say to me groups are much more fun if with friends where your not in fear of being kicked or shouted at etc

Comparisons are inevitable. Everyone looks at everyone else to see how they might improve or what strategies were employed to kill bosses faster. Some groups have higher expectations than others. If that unnerves or bothers you, don't join them. There are plenty of casual statics who couldn't care less. Debating whether player expectations are too high is a moot point since it will not change unless the devs force it. We'll have to see come Stormblood if the devs actually make a decision.

You said something stupid and funny, I laughed, deal with it. Who are you? The no-fun-allowed officer?

You tried to have a normal conversation ? By insulting people? That's my main problem here. Are you that blind? Because even before the forbidden gif you were already saying people were stupid when not agree with you.

Yeah, right my perception. Funny from someone who keeps bothering us with her feelings and/or pressure since pages.

And your behaviour is the model that we should all follow the example of should we?

I don't insult people and proudly waiting their answers to victimize myself, so... I guess.

That would be really clever and intelligent wouldnt it?

At least, I can see a certain consistency.

Er, in savage it generally does have the same impact. Lets not forget that not only is this tier quite forgiving compared to Gordias/Midas, but we also have echo and gear as well.


This isn't a specific special snowflake healer issue. The exact same thing applies to DPS as well. Get greedy, get flustered and you're going to mess up and potentially cause a wipe regardless of what job you are. A12S demonstrates this beautifully even with echo.

Cmon tank dying is nearly always a wipe a9s? If a dps dies or even a healer its recoverable. When I was learning that fight as sch main heal I couldnt stop healing tank fot 2 seconds. Literally tank spam heal. I guess it always depends where in fight it happens though too

Sebazy no one has suggested you havent done, more , healed more know more._. Your probably a great player too .Probably better than me. That isnt the issue. I was removed once for not knowing how to dps as scholar. From a static. But Ive seen it happen to others and know the pressre Im under to do it. I know what its like to try to learn a fight while trying to learn dps healer at the same time. A10s to be exact and found it impossible. Imagine if you dont have much raid experience and youve onl ever healed then told you have to learn dps all at the same time. Sucks but I bet you knew how to dps heal b4 you went in savage. Who teaches it anyway?

If a tank takes this much dmg, you should talk with your static about what the group as a whole can do to reduce the dmg on the tank and how both healers can heal more efficient. Raiding is all about teamwork
