Healing is now a state of permanent hatred.

[Sebazy]

I'm about as typical a career MMO healer as you can get I guess. I was more flexible in FFXI, raiding primarily as a Bard, with a caster sideline of WHM, BLM or SCH when needed and I did do a strange stint in WoW as a Tank, but otherwise, from Everquest (Unless anatomy in UO counts?) to FFXIV, I've exclusively healed.

And in honesty, it's rare that I feel properly jaded about my group, as long as people are making a fair effort, I'm not really bothered about how good or bad things are. Thus most duties don't really bother me no matter how bad they get. 24 man can get a bit frustrating though, as you see a lot more freeloading there. Poking and standing on their corpses is usually entertaining enough

Above all, I love the role and it just suits my play style. I'm pretty awful at timing and maintaining CDs, but adapting on the fly and playing reactively is far more my thing. And just think, my group has me playing SCH this tier. Whoops.
