I have a lot of respect for anyone who plays a healer, which comes with a correspondingly high set of standards.

I read so many complaints about how healers have it too easy, but this healer totally failed to rise to the challenge, and worse, apparently just gave up even trying.

Imagine defending a healer that voted out a tank, however unimpressively geared, who was apparently still willing to try, before the first boss.

What a total lack of confidence, competence, empathy, and job ethic. Seems like he just wanted to go fast and focus on dps.

Of course OP was baffled. That's hardly the standard expected of FF14 healers. It should be heals/team support > dps.

Again, I have no issues with healers dpsing, but not at the cost of even trying to support a struggling tank.
Lol.

I'm not defending anyone in this episode as it's just all too vague. This entire post is just a teetering stack of assumptions that really don't add up. I can't tell who really knows what happened in there, but I can tell you who doesn't. Us.

But go on, you side with your tank buddy. Those nasty healers deserve to be kicked back into the pockets they climbed out of right?

Your talk is nothing but lies, falsehoods and poison. That goes for here and in the healer forums as well.
