I heal because those dumb dps won't stop eating the floor candy. Mah deeps, mang. .___.

More seriously, I've always played DPS/DDs up until maybe 3 years ago, when I was in a guild that started raiding.. previously in MMOs, I hadn't been as much of a group person. Despite not actually liking people all too much, I have some odd compulsion to be "useful" to all.. so since we of course had tons of people playing DPS but were lacking in healers, I switched to maining a hybrid healer. >:| Somewhere along the line, I started duoing crazy stuff with a friend, and so when we moved to FFXIV, I decided to main scholar from the start.

Now I feel weird on a pure DPS class, though somehow I got into that slot in my static. I like being able to heal myself when I make dumb mistakes, and not rely on someone else to do it. It's nice that I have a lot of power in saving a failing fight/run, and I strive to push my DPS whenever possible. Plus, it feels good to speed up queues when going with friends~
