More fun times in WoD

[Adire]

Yes, sometimes people blame others for mistakes on their part. But let me ask you,

What would you have done if people could have been saved if you were able to cast the whitemage job abilities? Shrugged and said, "Oh well, I'm a troll"? Intentionally gimping yourself (for no reason other than doing it) in a group of random strangers is pretty insulting.

If that would have happened, I would have simply understood that I or my group failed. WoD really isn't hard enough to require the emergency healing abilities of WHM (unless other people are not doing their jobs). If I require benediction or divine seal there, there are deeper problems than not having a soulstone. That problem will either be I'm not doing a good enough job with the more than adequate skills for that duty that a CNJ has, or the group is failing really badly.

I think you're overthinking things here. Besides, I consider myself quite a skilled player and have been told that I am before, and my skill as a CNJ will always outweigh a WHM with terrible skill. If WoD was too hard for me or my group as a CNJ, I would not have gone in as one. The damage output for the most part in WoD is very low as long as people do their jobs.

It's not "insulting", as I do more than my part in there, and I enjoy challenging myself. It's as much anyone else's responsibility to avoid dying and taking damage from preventable things than it is mine to keep them alive through preventable damage. If the excess healing from WHM abilities is needed in WoD, then that means someone else isn't doing their job, so I would not take responsibility for their mess up any more than the person themselves (or group as a whole) should.

tl;dr version: In short, my job is to heal. Everyone's job is to do mechanics. If they do mechanics, I can do my job just fine as a CNJ in WoD. As such, unless I just plain out derp, it's not fair to blame me for someone dying. Not to mention, I'm already 18 ilvls over the required one for WoD...

I knew a guy that used to do Garuda Extreme as a CNJ using provoke on the spiny plume when the tanks failed. This was long before echo was added and before most people could even claim to be able to farm it. Playing as classes rather than jobs can be a viable option some times, and it's not like WOD is even difficult, unless you get stuck with a lot of players with the collective IQ of a cucumber.

This guy gets it!
