Tanks like to be leaders, DPS like to be killers. But what about us healers? What is our reasoning for doing a job that revolves around taking care of our allies, whether they're good or bad players?
Personally, I chose to be a Conjurer because I enjoy solo play and have never played a Final Fantasy game without having the ability to heal myself(good healing.. not a BLM/ACN trying to do Physick). Also note I didn't play much of MMOs until this so I didn't know how it would be like without healing and frankly didn't want to find out.
And also, I like support classes and specializing. The only reason I made my alternative job, Monk, is because the job seemed fun and different. I never plan to shift my main job.
What about you?
