For those who main/semi-main a DPS (e.g. DNC, RDM) but like Healers...

Could you highlight one of those DPS players?

Not really. I don’t keep a Death Note for people who are mildly annoying to me in video games.

I remember a while back one tank (not strictly a DPS thing, I was being hyperbolic for rhetorical emphasis) who went on about how “he did his time” as a healer after intentionally pulling too big of a pull and wiping the party to teach me a lesson because I dared to use Physik in a 30-40 Leveling dungeon. At the time I had a crossbar set up for lowbie stuff and one set up for 50+ stuff and Physik was good enough when people weren’t being jerks. I dropped the duty. Adlo isn’t that much better

The last one started in on a whole lecture of how I should tank differently in party chat after we had completed the duty and I just ignored them, left the duty, and the healer gave me a commendation.

Right... that's why it has so many long-time healer mains, present or former, whose play-history you've been able to reveal as a cloak of deception from your vast knowledge as a level 65 who only just started into the paid game within... the last 11 days?

I’ve been paying for the game since long before I hit level 60 so I could use retainers. I didn’t sign up for the forums until recently, is that what you are talking about with that 11 days comment?

Nice try at Gatekeeping tho baby. :^*

So you're telling me that you're suggesting that this thread is full of 'DPS players' but you can't point the finger at any of them?

Admittedly it's a rather obvious loaded question. The catch is that this thread isn't full of DPS players at all, rather it's full of disgruntled healer veterans that are fed up of the corner that SE has designed healers into. The only thing going for it is accessibility through the fact that as long as you are pressing something, it's fairly difficult to go wrong in mainstream content especially once you hit the level cap.

As for the other points: I strongly suspect there's more to the story with regards to a Tank wiping the party because you used Physic in an ARR leveling dungeon... Don't get me wrong, I've seen people flip in dungeons over really stupid things but casting a basic GCD heal isn't one of them.

Ps if you want to avoid the troll/alt comments and have been playing for a while, unhide your achievements on the Lodestone. Easy way to put that to bed.

Plot twist: they were on smn

Post credits plot twist: they were in a 30-40 dungeon (or maybe stone vigil at 41) as arcanist

Even then, it's... one physick? I'd be surprised if anyone even notices the castbar on a Physick going off, considering it's a 1.5s cast. More likely is the number of Physicks, combined with the aforementioned role disparity was the problem the tank had. If a SCH spams Physick in lower level dungeons, nobody's going to bat an eye because they don't have anything else at that level, and Eos can't keep up after a certain point. But if an ACN/SMN is in Cutter's Cry and spamming it, then it's a bit more of a noticeable issue

None of that matters though because IDK what I'm talking about, I am actually a SAM main in disguise, only playing healer because it gets me faster queues in EX roulette /s
