Some healers make me panic

[Maeka]

I really wish people wouldn't worship the DPS meter so much.

Honestly.



Yes, Healers do have the ability to throw out some DPS, but this should never be the Healer's #1 job. Some healers act like throwing Cures is a secondary reason as to why they are there, and this is spawning the mentality you see in some replies above (like EbonySeraphim's, though they are hardly the only one).

Your job as a healer, is Cure First. Sorry, that's how it is. You are not there to be a DPS. You can throw some DPS when you have extra time, but it is not to be your primary duty.

Everybody who is a supposed "healer" who whines about "BUT MAH DPS!!!!!" if they have to cast too many Cures are missing the whole point as to why they are even there, and the dungeons are tuned assume the healer is doing zero DPS; there is no NEED for Healer DPS. Sure, it makes pulls a little faster, but oi. Why is everybody in such a freaking hurry, that we have to maximize DPS on all 4 characters in the dungeon?

I work a variable hour job, and I do my daily roulettes like anybody else, and I really don't see why we need to GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO everything. Slow. Down.

The dungeon will still be there tomorrow.
You're not going to fail to cap on verity gear before 4.1 (especially not with Omega being rather easy to get into, and has better gear than Verity anyways).

What is the freaking hurry? Seriously.

When one of the four people is not having fun because you want to rushrushrush, what's the point of playing a game when someone isn't having fun? In fact, make that 2 people... if the tank is stressed and panicing because the healer lets him go to 10% every few seconds, he's not having fun because he might feel inadequate or he might feel the healer is too lazy about healing and won't trust him/her. The healer isn't having fun because of the "GOTTA GET THROUGH THIS DUNGEON ASAP!!!!!" mood, where every single Aero and Stone spell are so precious that having to drop one of them to cast an extra Cure is such a freaking big deal.

If you hate dungeons that much, then just stop doing them. You obviously are not having fun doing them.

If you want to worship the DPS meters, go Q up as a DPS.

If you want everyone to have the same idea of fun, make a party finder group. PuGs in Duty Finder are random people. Try and make yourself as happy as possible because you can be sure that those other people are thinking the exact same thing.

DPS heavy healers, like myself, want to get through dungeons ASAP because content is trivial and not challenging, but yet the trivial content that isn't fun is needed to be properly geared to have a chance at the potentially challenging and fun content that comes after it, though savage Omega is apparently not all that bad.

If you are someone who cares about the other people in your PuG group, then madam you are in the extreme minority. This game has hardly any form of battle synergy for the most part and even less community due to duties being cross-dataserver, meaning you will probably never meet those same people again ever.

Fun for me is a fast, clean speedrun. Minimize time, maximize DPS, maximize rewards/time. Plenty of people in DF feel the same, that's why the norm is pulls the size of Texas and DPS for days.

The unfun comes from things going poorly, not from people pushing the envelope.
