dungeon helpers

[VanilleFang]

Here's the problem. Every time someone comes to THIS forum asking for help, they get lynched if they do not DPS, and that chases people away from the role. The game needs more good healers, not people who pick healer just because it has a faster DF queue, and then abdicate doing any effective healing. That's why there are so many terrible healers, because they are being told they are useless if they aren't DPS'ing at every opportunity when that's not true at all. The game is designed for healers to do nothing but heal if that is what the duty requires, or they are not comfortable with using the rest of the toolbox. The tiny amount of DPS that the healer brings to the game is often not worth sacrificing the DPS players in the party to do so.

No body here is saying that you should DPS while ignoring people who need to be healed. If there is an issue with DPS classes healing themselves instead of doing damage than I haven't seen it. I very rarely see a DPS heal themselves outside of low level dungeons, and in this case they have very little experience and are probably not use to someone else healing them or they don't trust their healer for whatever reason. If I see a DPS healing themselves I will ask them to just focus on DPSing and leave the healing to me as it will only slow down the progression through the dungeon.

I haven't been in a FC period, and I played V1.0 with this character on this server. What about the players who picked Healer to start, and then get screamed at the first time they enter a dungeon? Let healers learn their role before they start stepping outside it. Nothing is more discouraging in this game then having impatient jerks abandoning the dungeon after mistakes you or some other player make.

I... have no idea what you are trying to say here. I literally just said I wasn't a part of an FC and I don't party with people I know, ever. I picked up a healer from the start... What are you trying to say exactly?

Fairy is not going to let the tank die.

You're being too literal in the things you say. This is completely untrue. The Fairy is an NPC and as such has no feelings one way or the other about keeping the tank alive. Yes she will cast her Embrace spell when they drop below the thresh hold but she can't do much else. How is she not going to let the tank die? If the tank is taking 1k damage and she is only healing 800 the Tank will eventually die. Your comment is completely false. The Fairy will let the tank die because she will not change her tactic due to more incoming damage or status ailments. And she will also change her target if someone else is hurt more, regardless of role. She will let the tank die.
