why do you heal?

[Artemiz]

I leveled a healer because I wanted at least one of every class role at level cap, to give me some variety when doing tome runs and stuff. I really enjoy it though I consider BLM my main, as a result I only tend to do simple tome grinding or easy raids on healer but I like it and find it relaxing and fun unless I get that horror party that every healer fears.

The same reason I tank or DPS. Because everyone else is bad and I have to in order to clear content.

Healing usually gets exciting whenever things are going whack. Especially on SCH where you play on your keyboard like a mad person. A particular thing about SCH though is that I get the most information on what's happening during the fight and how's everyone performing. I can usually tell exactly what saved or wiped us, even if it was just a minor thing so we can improve much faster. It's pretty much the backbone of the party.

I guess primarily for me it's just because I know I have decent skills with healers (or generally support classes) and I like to make the most out of that to let my party mates feel safe with me around.

I do have occasional 'oopsies' but I think more often than not my party is pretty happy (I think?) :P

.. and I admit, it does feel nice to be the grim reaper :X

Masochistic tendencies- I also enjoy DF'ing for fun.

Versatility- different play styles/roles or different situations.

Field of view- being able to (in most instances) see what's going on visually and with HP/MP bars.
