Dear RED MAGES....!

If you have to ask a dps to heal themselves then you're just plain bad. And that's real sad...

Most healers I've run with get pissed off if I heal, as if I'm insulting their ability to do their job. Frequent Mana Shifts is usually enough to get a commendation from most healers along with not taking unnecessary damage.

THIS. I mostly see Healers struggling with their MP usage, usually because of overzealous DPS and Tanks deciding to take a dip in AOEs for funsies, and if I'm just doing my usual rotations then I don't need my unnecessarily huge MP pool (not a bad thing pls dun nerf my MP Mr Producer sir) so it may as well go to the people who need it.

Buuuuut if a healer expects me, a DPS, to stop doing my job so I can do theirs while they do mine? Lolnope. Be a DPS class or shut up.

Can you just heal YOURSELVES most of the time....? There's a REASON yoshi gave you a DECENT single target healing ability...! So that when the healer is DPSing they DONT have to heal YOU....!

Thnx...!

No! I main Rdm and my second job is Astro. If I see a rdm casting vercure I get mad because I feel like they think I dont do my job well.

Healer : You heal
Rdm : You dps and raises the healers if both are dead. You shouldnt have to cast a single vercure if you do the mechanics right.Not. A. Single. One. And if youre dpsing instead of healing... My 4.5k dps says i dont give a shit about your not even 1.5 dps.

Do you job as a healer or switch to dps.

Taking time to jump into both jobs, now that tanking is over. First there isn't any real reason for any healer to get upset. Seems like people are nitpicking things a bit too far. If someone gets upset over something like this, it's usually a problem they have with themselves.

We should have enough co-op sense to see the benefits of a RDM that decides to cure, not cure or just give out a mana shift to the healer.

Playing RDM, getting vercure finally. I can say the mentality of healing sticks with me. I will throw a cure, erase or mana shift something catches my eye.

It's not that you're not doing your job as a healer, but look at it another way. That opening allows you time to do other things. Take the scenario out of just being able to nuke. Adjust to what has just happened rather than stay stuck in predicting and getting annoyed it didn't go your way.

At the same time, we have a list of things we need to do as a job / role. A red mage self healing is on there but doesn't hold priority above a healer who needs to throw them a cure instead. Nothing wrong with damage dealing / curing as any job. Just know where the general priorities are for your role. That's where we all get so upset over things, what is 1,2,3 for me isn't the same for the next person.

dont get me wrong I won't support the OP - but I never understand why people play support dds if they don't want to support "if necessary". It's like Brds pre SB who didn't use songs at all. I mean thats why you chose the cls, isn't it? Knowing how and when to use your support skills above own dps. Rdms who don't use their skills intuitive are bad even if they hit the 5k+ parse. Seeing a Rdm who gives a fuck about a struggling healer is as bad as a Rdm who heals all the way - Hybrid cls need hybrid priorities... its lame to say may icon is red I'll just blowing things up all the way - you are green so mind your own business... if you feel like that go for a raw dd like blm or sam... else don't be that tunnel viewed : /

Read my post, I said Im supportinf my group. But dont expect me to do the healers jobs. me and my healers (In my static) we got really good communication. I see when they just used swiftcast, so ofc I will raise if they cant or if theres a lot of raid damage incoming and they need to focus on healing. Please read my post totaly before quoting me. Thx

[Dualgunner]

Oh COME ON.....! Just 2 vecures... TWO....! Is that TOO MUCH....? LITERALLY just help with HEALING every now and then... There is a REASON why you\\'re a RED mage... Not a BLACK mage....! White + Black = RED...! RED..... UNDERSTAND...? Use your VECURE and VERAISE...! OK....? Good...

I'm gonna say...no. lol

[JCT]

I'd just like the RM to verraise me if I mess up a mechanic and die...and for all of us not just the RM to run away from big red circles of death.
