as healer, how much tolerance you have for your party before you snap?

[DarkDaifuku]

I rarely snap, only 2 things can make me.

Being in the 40 up dungeon/raid, without soul stone, gears in each slot. Have seen tanks without soul stone in Aurum Vale, some tank with half of their right side unequipped. Then blame the healer/dps.

Leave once you got the doge/pony/bird in farm, without saying a word at all.

Standing in an avoidable AoE isn't the end the world

Its not... when everyone is top up and just a normal mob pull. I couldnt care less if they do it on purpose or just for the lulz if its on normal DF.

It is when you are in a "heavy handed" fight like ex primal or savage where everybody HP is going left and right like a music equalizier, combine with some member who "on purpose" didnt avoid red circle because "heal me plox thats your job" attidute or just plain good old "newbie" member, do at least less our burden will ya? We are human just like you, not healbot.

And dont forget in most case healer and tank are easy to get the blame.

Tanks not using defensive CDs usually just increases your own healing requirement. Don't gripe about it, be prepared for it.

Iam pretty sure every healer is prepared for that, but if you tell me if tank aggro 2-3 pack of mobs in 1 pull (somewhere between 6-10 enemy) and didnt use defensive CD, even the most wise healer will at least question that tank method. How hard is it for you to press 1 extra button?

I'm pretty chill with other players unless the stupidity is strong with them. Or they get snippy with me.

Aye! Trust me, every word here has echoed in my head while running content. But if I allowed myself to get upset every time someone takes unnecessary damage, or I have a squishy tank there will be little room left for actual enjoyment. DF is a total roll of the dice and you have to roll with the punches, especially as a healer. I find this role to be most adaptable and equipped to handle the randomness of PUGs.

That being said, I do have a threshold, but I try not to let it get there. I can only handle so much stupid, and I've been healing long enough to know when my party is taking me for granted and thinks I am just healbot. If I am at a boiling point but still need to run stuff, I will ask my FC if they would like to group. If that is not an option then I will just stick to solo activity until my emotions can simmer down. You have to be careful with actually snapping. Rarely is the instigator punished; it's usually the person who retaliates.

[Anselmet]

Honestly I'm fine with ppl being stupid as long as they don't blame me for their stupidity. Once they do, full rights to be an ass is in order. Just let that bard die. Who cares. Most bosses are doable with one dps.

[Wice]

I don't mind people not being good at the game or at a particular fight- I'm sufficiently new that I'm running into content for the first time quite often and I don't think it's justified to get short with people because they're not prescient, or aren't already experts. We all have to learn, and we learn by making mistakes.

People being rude to folk learning is something I have zero tolerance for. The chief responsibility of any player in any multiplayer game (whether it be this, something like Overwatch or a tabletop game like Dungeons and Dragons) is to contribute to the groups enjoyment of the game, or at the very least not sour the experience for others. If you are souring the experience for others then you are the worst player here.

[Bahati]

I actually like running content with players who are still learning or making bad decisions. It's more challenging than running with veterans who are pretty self-sufficient. It's the blame game that gets on my nerves. I'm more than willing to babysit but not if the kids are being little snots about it and tattling on one another.

[Voidedge_Ragna]

The amount of stuff i accept depends on your dps. If you are wrecking mobs idc if you evade stuff, me losing a broil vs me casting it has nothing on a blm losing a fire4. If you get oneshot thats on you, tho most aoe is forgiving.

If you troll or refuse to listen ... you hit return because i missclicked all my heals.

Why bother to hate someone or snap, you are with them for 20 min then never see them again.

[Driskus]

I usually leave if someone starts trying to tell me how they want me to play my job (usually complaining about not liking healer DPS and wanting a pure and/or forum princess healer more than anything). Other than that, I'll leave if its painfully obvious someone is trolling, harassing etc.

One special case is someone trying to wall-to-wall pull Dzemael Darkhold. I will leave on sight if I see them try it. No amount of healing or trying to mitigate works. Even PoM + Largesse + Cure II spam can't keep them alive. Try to cast Holy to stun the mobs = dead tank less than 0.2 seconds into the cast. The other special case is tanks that are so far undergeared that its impossible to even tank at all. I'm talking ironworks gear in Sirensong Sea bad. If you can't hold a trash mob for more than one GCD its not worth my time to try and deal with it. I'll just go craft stuff for half an hour.

"Dude, listen... here's the <insert mechanics here>."
"Baguette?"

That's about it...
