Why you should play a healer!

[MintnHoney]

To be honest, this thread, and the various rolling hills of entitlement throughout, is a compilation of why one should reconsider playing a healer. For a role that is either supposed to be the easiest to play, with little to no skill requirement, or supposed to be the most complicated to play, requiring a level of skill that could only be replicated by a specific set of shining elite or some sort of mouth-breathing basement dweller, the pressure to find a comfortable metaphorical place to sit and just play is too high.

At least, this is true if you actually give a damn about why someone else thinks you should play a healer.

So anyway, why should people play a healer?

To add a little more to my earlier reply:

- you like helping people, even just in overland/non-instanced stuff outside of a party you can heal and rez strangers (and even get achievements for it!)
- shortest queues other than tanks
- likely to get a comm for being halfway competent and making an effort in an instanced piece of content
- very fun challenge in PvP, especially The Feast
- self-healing in content that might be too hard to solo otherwise
- cool animations (at least in FFXIV)

I said "savage players" in those specific quotation marks as a response to you because prior to my post, you started a hostile post with this:

Yeah, you're Savage players and you seem to know each other a bit from this forum. Then let a bit of a room to breath to that one person who is saying something different. I mean, you do seem to make a point in not belittleling others but you don't have a problem asking for their creditencial to state what they think.

So it's not really an 'us vs them' scenario, it's just me responding to a categorisation that you yourself made, and now you seem to be the one who has a problem with it.

I just feels like taking control for the parties's lives...
