    Maybe if the tanks stopped pulling everything i can DPS more. As it stands since every tank mega pulls i have to use absolutely everything just to keep them alive, i would LOOOOVE to throw out a Holy or two but as a healer my number one duty is to keep everyone alive. If that means it takes a bit longer to beat trash or a boss then so be it.

    This, 1000000% this, I play as all 3 roles, I have my Tank, my Healer, and a few DPS I like to play as, I switch them around so I can keep a good idea on each role's view of a dungeon/trial/boss/etc. I HATE being a healer when I get a tank that wants to pull a group of 4 with a group of 5 and then try and grab the patrol of 2 as well and then bitches cause he dies cause he went Sprinting ahead of me out of my range. Sorry but the dungeons shouldn't be Mega-Pull to the boss and then fight the boss, it's suppose to be set to do each pull in it's set group. And I get the same hate as a DPS when the tank does it that way as well, here I am spamming my AOE rotation till I'm blue in the face and then seeing all the mobs jump to me after the tank dies. This is especially bad when with a Gunbreaker as they have a skill that apparently drops 90% or more of their HP so I go into panic mode thinking they are about to die, and sometimes they do.

    Unless you're a WHM, it's better for the tank to pull big and let the dps do their jobs since SCH/AST aoe isn't much to speak of.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
