Why you should play a healer!

[Tridus]

I avoid healing due to the stress lol. It's a game, so I want to have fun and relax.

Makes sense. Although, last night I got a trial roulette Susano where one healer died five times and the other was going OOM because for some reason he was taking forever to die.

I was on RDM. I was very, very busy. Wasn't exactly the relaxing time one hopes to get while on a DPS break.

To be fair I was going OOM because he was taking forever to die and people were eating avoidable damage like potato chips. The manashifts were much appreciated though <3

I heal because I'm a control freak and healers tend to have the most control over an encounter. Don't get me wrong, in a great group every player is quite important. In a weak group though? No one can carry like a healer.

I feel like this is the reason I never understood everyone's Shinryu frustration back when 4.0 launched. Yeah, I saw a couple wipes, but virtually no disbands. You can make up more ground than any other role by far as a healer. People failing mechanics? Get out those raises and AoE heals. Tanks not tanking? Throw up shields and/or regens on top threat target. DPS not tanking too? Throw up regens/shields on yourself and hope you don't get tankbusted. DPS not meeting a check? Do more DPS.

I'm all about utility roles (love having RDM/BRD/SMN/PLD in my group) but to me healers are just pure utility. The multitude of directions we can go makes it always exciting and, as I said, you can be a world first progression raiding SAM but you still can't carry like my mediocre WHM butt.

Wasn't criticising. When the other healer dies five times and he is just not dying very fast, it's going to be a thing.

Oh I didn't take it that way, just taking advantage of the opportunity to complain! Lol
