Everyone Hurt, Spam Cure, then Cleric Stance. . . What?

[RiisWolf]

Seriously. Why is this becoming more of a popular thing to do?

Where now more healers are just in all seriousness try to "save" MP by using only cure when all 4 members get hit and/or pets, then switch to cleric stance, thinking they've done things right. It could easily be solved with a medica and they can DPS all they want sooner than taking almost 10 seconds to do even less!!! It becomes even more obvious when other player's pets were never (incidentally) healed, like they made it their sole mission to push all responsibility on the owner. The of them are SCHs who don't even pay attention to their own fairy! So while the fairy is off using embrace on only herself, we're stuck with a SCH who only THINKS he has a clue about what he's doing, and then he wonders why people are so hard to heal or why he's OOM!


What's going on!? Why are they removing helpful HUD elements like HP bars over players' heads!?!? What loser guide did these players read!?!?! WHERE'S THE INFLUENCE!?!?!?!?

They learned that on the same place where tanks learned dps accessories are the best and that cooldowns are only for bosses

This. Not saying I'm the person doing it, but if they're still healing people enough to the point where dying is nowhere near an issue and it provides them with plenty of time to help DPS, what the hell do you care?

I will never understand Tanks or DPS that get huffy whenever healers try anything other than heal. I'm not your pocket heal slave. I'll heal you first and foremost, but anything after that is completely up to me to decide.

You would understand if you ever saw the mana cost of physics in comparison to succor. If a scholar is getting OOM while using physics I'd guess that no one is dodging stuff. Also... take care of your own pet.

- There are a lot of players of all roles out there with room to grow.
- Summoners and Scholars are responsible for their own pets, though group heals take care of anything aside from them getting cleaved repeatedly in their faces.

SMN/SCH can heal their own pet. MCH can just resummon their turret for no cost. I'm not going to look after every pet that is not even displayed in my party list.
Protip: Place them where they don't/as little as possible get hit.

Is this post for real? You think I have nothing better to do than worry about fight mechanics myself, keep the tank and party members alive during mistakes and missed mechanics, raise people, leech/esuna/exaulted detriment debuffs, and contribute my own dps, and now you think we all need to watch the health bars of other players....pets? That don't even show up on my party list? No one but me gives a flying f about my fairy when she dies tanking an add. It's called swiftcast resummon, bro. Stop making healers go heezy status where we do everything in this game but walk on water, we have enough to worry about on the field that take more precedence, unless you think you can do it better. Also there's this magical thing you can do called placing where you put them where they take less damage. Caring for your pet makes you a responsible pet owner, git gud m8.

Micromanaging a pet and keeping it alive is the responsibility of its owner.

That doesn't mean you don't help them if things get out of hand or if it was somehow unavoidable. Inaction slows things down. Not to mention not using a medica when ALL of you get hurt. The pets are effected by healing AoE too, there's almost no excuse for them not to be even INCEDENTALLY healed by a medica or even a Medica2.

That responsibility is irrelevant to the topic. Because the topic is healers who don't use AoE healers and just use single target heals which ultimately wastes time and MP when 3 or more players have taken damage, especially when ALL of you taken damage. And I only mention the pets cause it's one of the more obvious give aways to what the healer is not doing if all players including the pets have been damaged bad and only the players get healed while the pets never even received a Medica2, not to mention anyone else for that matter.
