Healer mains: your fav role/job when not healing?

[Sorimachi87]

I'd consider myself to not be a good dps. But when i am not healing, i am playing monk literally most of the time. It's also my second highest class in ilvl apart from Astrologian.
Super fast and fun to play. Positionals are demanding to do the most damage, but with a little practice thats fine too.

Then again i am super casual. So don't quote me on my opinion please.

Bard for me, it's nice and relaxing (:

Red Mage. I like that they do a little bit of everything, and I like the mobility--jumping in and out of melee. At some point I want to try tanking, though.

I really like Ninja and mostly for the cool hand signs. It has such an interesting mechanic for its Abilities. It has so much utility and that is what draws me to Bard as well. I love classes that have a lot to offer the party. Probably why I like to heal so much.

WAR and DRG for me for tank and DPS respectively - namely because of the fact heavy armours + battle skirts = my glamour drug.

When I am not a White Mage..
I am a PLD.

Clemency gives me the same thing I get as White Mage...
The ability to look at everyones life bar and help the healer heal too.

Not every healer I get in a four man is an epic healer. All that party utility is amazing on PLD

I put myself through the torture of these beautiful cutscenes to provide these pics I had to dress appropriately in order to express my thoughts of this thread accurately.







I have often stated on here that my character has a dual personality even before doing the DRK questline. This duality came to fruition and manifested through those level 30-50 quests, and it was just crazy to me how coincidental it was to the lore I had written up for my character. The tears flowed like a freakin river. After this, it became quite clear to me that I was every bit as much a Dark Knight/Tank as I am a White Mage/Healer. So you have my WHM who prefers to resolve conflict through means that are non-violent. And you have my DRK, who will take matters into her own hands through 'blood justice'.

Lore aside, I absolutely LOVE DRK! Tanking is a break from healing, but it is FAR from a vacation. I find it more stressful than healing because I don't have the same amount of experience, and at the very least, an equal amount of responsibility/accountability in group play. But I love that. DRK's current state in the meta does not affect me because I am capped at 60 since I don't have SB yet, and I don't do savage even if I was there. I feel the devs have designed DRK in a way that makes it beautiful and graceful despite its nature, and the 50-60 questline alludes to this. I find it the most aesthetic of the three tanks and this is important to me.

RDM is my main DPS outside of healing. I personally have a preference for magic over physical DPS classes in general, but RDM is pretty easy to pick up. I don't have to memorize any complicated rotations to play it. Also love how easy it is to rez people.

I find SMN and RDM my favourite DPS classes, and I main both alongside WHM/SCH. I think being a healer just really helps when I go support/caster, as I already know what to look out for, and what times of fights healers struggle with for things like swiftcast-raises/mana shift, etc.

If I ever needed to be persuaded to the do DRK questline, this was it lol.
