Toxic healers

[jamjeeshoul77]

What is up with the phenomenon of healers being ego maniacs?

I tanked a lvl 71 dung last night where the healer was a male roe with no clothes on and a suggestive name who kept pulling ahead of me. The third pull I died followed by the dps and he finished the last 2 mobs remaining solo and then proceeded to say he was very skilled and pulled the boss while me and the 2 other dps were still running back.

The second boss, I had to afk (I think i was afk for 2 minutes) because I heard a loud bang downstairs, and when I got back they (I’m assuming the healer) had pulled the boss and kept everyone alive, and once the boss died he said “having a tank is useless LMFAO” and sprinted & pulled every single pack until the last boss where he miraculously waited.

At the end of the dungeon he did a squat & push-up emote and told me I need to learn how to pull faster with an air kiss emote

I just had to share that experience because it was probably the most toxic person I’ve ever encountered in this game.

That sounds like an experience.

I'm curious... you make it plural yet you seem to only be pointing out this one healer?

I've run into what you explained here from every class role. It's very rare but it's not just healers.

That does sound like a toxic person, but don't single out healers just because of him. Just report and move on if it bothers you so much.

You can report that to the GM's. If you open up Contacts it will show you every single player you partied with in Roulletes or outside, complete with their full name and homeworld lol. FFXIV is usually one of the nicer MMO's out there and that's because the GM's will put you in ingame jail if you do something like that and get reported xD.

How did you tank holminster switch when you don't have a tank at level 70? Assuming you're not an alt.

This is not a normal behavior amongst healers, I have all my jobs in 71+ and encountering a toxic healer like this is quite rare. So best thing you can do is to report the toxic player and hope that you'll get a better healer next time.

I encountered worse healer ego moments here and there, it often leads down the same route of he say/she say and etc. I normally just report and keep silent as those types of hostile healers tend to direct all their hostility towards the tank or their fellow healers, it's rare to see them being hostile at dps.

I'm not sure it's the class as much as it's the players attitude, narcissistic personalities are found in every class type I've seen, They believe they are never wrong, they are just too awesome, everyone else is ruining their day. I'm a healer and I try to be polite and quietly follow behind the tank allowing them to lead since they have to pull. I've grit my teeth about other players in the past but keep any frustration to myself so a to not hinder things further if they are having a rough time or just a bad day.


What a player dresses their avatar in also tells you a lot about them, if they show up bearing a lot or total skin, they will most likely be occupied with viewing their toon instead of focusing on the task at hand...and are easily provoked emotionally too.

'phenomenon' is doing a lot of work in that sentence.
