BLM macros

That's like saying "tanks don't need to use their damage mitigation cooldowns; they just need to run with better healers."

That's your affirmation, not mine

Better hope you never get me as your healer, because I won't heal you when you have such an asinine attitude.

Nice attitude!

No, actually, it's yours. It's the exact logic you stated. In fact, it's pretty much exactly what you stated.

Nice attitude!

Learn not to waste your healer's time and mana and we'll be more willing to heal you. Simple as that.

My main is a healer. If I see someone's hp is low, I heal them, simple as that. Whether it be the person's mistake, the game's doing, or something absolutely unavoidable, I heal them. I. Heal. Them.

Sounds like you're a lackadaisical healer. Shame.

Read your original statement again. It really is.

Keep being incompetent. It'll get you far.

Also, I don't think you know what lackadaisical means.

I do. I don't use words that I don't know the meanings of.

Except you did. Having no tolerance for idiots is not the same as "being lazy" nor is anything I said remotely close to "being lazy."

Anyway, you're clearly not here to learn how to be better at Black Mage. All you're hear to do is say "I'm right and you're wrong" and ignore the multitude of Black Mages telling you how wrong you are.

In fact, with your "all 4 defensive abilities shoved into one macro to just be thrown up all at once because 'why not? i don't need to use them at specific times to reduce damage taken and reduce the load on the healers'" is a very "lackadaisical" attitude on your own part, with you being the only one exhibiting such an attitude in this thread.

[EvianEverdeen]

Except you did.

Except I didn't.

LOL @ all of everything you wrote.

I'm not taking a "I'm right, you're wrong attitude", only with you. I'm here to learn and have learned a lot so far and still have more to learn. My playstyle may be different and one day I may change it after playing the job enough.

A tank should use cooldowns so he can take in more damage, that's what tanks do.
A healer should heal someone's hp, because that's what they do and that's what the party relies on.
A DPS should deal damage lol. I don't expect them to be using cooldowns to prevent damage. The only thing I expect, is to know the fight and dodge when necessary. Sure I suppose it's nice if a BLM would mitigate damage when applicable from a healer's perspective, but not every class has access to cooldowns like that and I really don't find it necessary. I just heal. If a BLM took a hit, because Manawall wasn't up, I don't yell at them and insist they use cooldowns, nor do I blame defeat on such a thing. I. Heal. Them.
