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

[Sebazy]

But so far I still would like to know what you referred the parataxic distortion to, because I still can't figure that out. I don't want to pick on you, it's just that I am interested in how my words reached you in a way that you think this applys to me.

It's pretty much a running theme in this thread unfortunately, you aren't the first to be on the receiving end of this behaviour by any stretch.

Here's a good example, maybe it'll help Fey appreciate why so many people are getting tired of this now:

On savage once I was 95% active just healing , not overhealing either. I was told I was a shit player for not dpsing. If you understand what Im saying thats why Im against healers being expected to dps. If they want to its fine, it shouldnt be forced.

Oct 26th activity 86.18% overheal 48.65%
Nov 2nd activity 93.07% overheal 33.87%
Nov 9th activity 58.02% overheal 37.43%

Either you're reading the numbers wrong or you're lying.

Not all my fights are posted. Show me a healer that has 0% overheal. Why are you so pedantic? You seem to dislike anything outside your thinking box. Im not hard core watch the numbers meticulous player. Im just an average player that does their best in the situation Im in. Just because I didnt meticulously, state there was a little overheal it doesnt mean Im a lyer. Please dont bother responding to that with 40% is not a a little. Ive done mnay clears since november, and Im well aware of what the hardcore mentality expectations are.

@Feyona: I've bolded the bits where I object to what's being said for clarity. Get rid of those and frankly, it's a pretty reasonable debate that's hard to fault. As is tho, you just give off the impression that you're trying to project your own failings on other people in an effort to protect the little bubble you live in.

TLDR, As ever, stop being hyper defensive, and stop throwing your toys out of the pram when someone confronts you. You might not like it, but reasonable debate and thoughtful confrontation is a very important part of life.

I get what you are trying to say and I totally agree this discussion is running in circles since several pages and I get it's frustrating and I do think Feyona is a bit overly sensitive about people just calling out their oppinions. But I do wonder:

Was that really necassary of you now? ^^'

I mean, we all got, more or less, what Feyona is like and how she handles situations, but you don't need to trigger her even more, you know. :/
For me, I realised she does not answer to very long postings completely, but takes just parts to talk about, that is why I let down parts of the discussion, but focused on the very thing I would like to get an answer to.
It is kind of annoying and it streches conversations, but if it is the only way things might be leading into a slightly productive direction we should try to go that way.

So what is your gripe? People keep quoting me when I say things, some of which are derrogatory like Im lying. So I respond to it , then I get accused of arguing with them, but they are actually arguing with me. Is it because Im direct with my replies like above where Im not meticulous, and pedantic means meticulous btw. Im am pretty direct I dont flower things up so is it my directness you dont like ? What you call hyperdefensive is merely stating the truth or correcting. And if my failings are pointed out I will point out yours too touche. Receiving end of my responses to your barbs? Dont you know by now if you derrogate someone they will respond in kind?

^Hmm. Parataxic distortion, you say?

If you can learn something from what you just wrote here, it would fix the whole thread. And all the little conflicts that you made.
Because you are the only person here to have started multiple conflicts based on nothing, or on a word that you can't accept (and often out of context, or misinterpretation). I'm not saying this to attack you again, but... Again... To help... ...

People keep quoting me when I say things, some of which are derrogatory like Im lying.

Take a huge breath. Reread the messages where you think someone said you were a liar, and come back later with a fresh mind. At some point, you should be able to read some words without taking them as an offense. You just need to calm down, and really read what people say.

There is something else that I would like to share with you :

And no need to come back with the following nonsense :

Are you looking in the mirror at the moment wanzer because , not able to accept facts and easily offended that applies to you, only I would add unable to accept the way others say things.

As I said before, I'm not taking part in this thread, but I learned a lot from it. Especially when I'm free to release Cleric Stance in Alex S.
And I'm totally open to get new ideas, and even discuss about them. But... Some people here are better than me to put words on my thoughts. Saying this just in case of "no, YOU should read it". '-'

^It's not a Gif, I promise.

Aaw. I know that feeling... :<
