Does anyone drink and heal?

[Wiccan026]

I think I would have to have a drink to play any other healer than whm and I really don't enjoy playing that (I don consider it the only "enjoyable" healing job because the other ones got cut into waaayy too much)

I will never understand why people think they look cool when posting about how they're playing drunk or high.

This. Nothing steams me more then a tank or healer that has to announce in chat that they're drunk or hung over, like okay??? Am I going to get healed?? Are you going to keep aggro or do we have to kick you??

Exactly. If you have to go around telling people you're drinking or you're high while playing, I immediately think you're a huge embarrassment that I never want to be around again. One time I was in The Vault and someone else, I can't remember what job they were, ran right to the exit at the end, said something like "I'm so high lol" and then left and I cringed so hard I pulled a muscle.

Please get more interesting personality traits besides "I drink". Not only is it more healthy, but people probably won't find you to be as insufferable.

Been around enough drunks in my life to not want any part of alcohol.

Also a Big Mood.

I enjoy my beer while playing the game yes

No, never... I don't drink, and I dislike drunkard.

To be quite honest, 90% of the time that I'm playing this game, I've either had a few drinks, or am in the process of doing so. Never been impaired enough to perform poorly or completely fumble...

Well... there was this one time when doing treasure maps I was completely wasted and the alcohol hit me like an anchor. I was going to get another map from my retainers, but ended up afk'ing and passing out, only to wake up a few hours later in my dinner of marconi. I was playing with friends in that instance, so they knew. But outside of that instance, most people probably wouldn't even know I drink while playing.

Wall to wall pulls, Ex primal farming, roulettes, etc... it's all manageable. Never really found healing/tanking stressful (and it's all I really do in this game), so drinking while doing it really isn't an issue for me. However, I know my limits and I won't queue up for duties when I reach a certain point.

For me, good dosage of alcohol intake is actually good to ease stressed / bored situation. I felt more relaxed but still able to perform my function even better, I could even have situational awareness better in raids. And by what I meant good dosage is just enough to feel the effect but not strong enough to make me drunk, let alone blurry vision or speak nonsense in group.

I'm guilty of wanting to have a drink after a long day at work to wind down and relax. But jeez...

When I read the title I thought: "What should be worrying about sipping my tea while doing a dungeon run?". So I kinda thought this is another discussion about fast pulling Tanks and Healers that can't Keep up because they are choking on their tea.

However! Regarding consuming alcoholic beverage... Guilty. Although I don't know why it seems to be a big deal for a lot of people. It's not that I get fully hammered. I just enjoy a glass of wine while doing a dungeon. Looks like some peopel assume that you just are a full drunkhead as soon as you even touch alcohol.

"Looks like the healer is drunk again." No-one ever. You can drink while playing and still be a decent person and a good player. You can also be completely sober and still are an asshole who plays like shait.

Haven't done it when I'm healing but I have done it while tanking, and even more so in Frontlines/Rival Wings.

I remember when I was on Primal a while back I did a run of Shatter with Adders about 65% sloshed. I told my alliances and was having trouble typing out exactly what I wanted to say but you can get the general idea of it.

No one was doing callouts so I decided to take it upon myself to notify people of when small/big ice was spawning and flagging points to either pinch or defend. My callouts were basically "focus red, thyg hv more points" and "BG ICE, HD SOU LT THM FIGHT IN MID"

We ended up winning by about 40 points, everyone was shocked, I got like three comms, turned off my computer and went to bed.
