I figured out why I stopped being a Healer. It was the harassment.

Thank you for being so kind. Honestly, the majority of the people on this message board are pretty nice. If you were the group that I played with, this game would be heaven!

That said, I am still really enjoying FFXIV now much more than before. I did not choose DPS to go on vacation. As DPS, I am concerned about my skill level than before but in a good way. I analyze my rotation, look up different openers, eat in-game food, pop Int potions beforehand to increase my DPS & use a DPS meter to make sure I am doing this correctly. In most dungeons, I am the top of the DPS chart as BLM but these are only lowbie dungeons! I hit 50% of total DPS yesterday and it really felt like I had accomplished something. I keep trying to squeeze a bit more out of my DPS.

But how do people make it to the next level of DPS superstar? It feels like some of the online guides are written in a different language! lol

tanks/dps who do this are LOL to me ofc I hate to throw them out there but sams=love eating oranges or blms just love to be on the opposite side of the map, now if a blm dears wonder asking me how they not being heal yet the heals/regens/shields is hitting everyone else hmm I wonder why, or yes you know sometimes tanks who never know the word migitate and I can light speed+benefic 2 till thy kingdom come and it may not be enough cause they eating all the oranges and not pressing not a single cool down, paladins at least may just clem themselves when they feel I cant keep up but still yeah ignore those types, Had a rdm in puppets telling me to use shields when everyone but him was close by to get em and he dying to every avoidable mech there is, one time he died he tells my whm co healer there is something cure 2. So am like umm and there is something call transcent that you get from death that you could have use that to block that mech by the timing I saw and not tip over again then maybe me or whmwas able to hit you with a heal after , like its not like your the only one thats probably damaged and well you didnt wanna follow me to avoid mechs when I marked myself. Ignore those people friend and do what makes you happy.
