Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent. 2.0

[Banriikku]

Ran Expert, got a WHM and he/she/it spams regen and medica until no tomorrow. I say nothing and just pulled the last pull with invuln only to get healed as if Thordan form the ultimate was chewing me.
Took a sip from my tea and chose Normal Raids. Got Asphodelos First Circle as a PLD. Bot WHM spammed healing on me as if their life depended on it.
Last but not least, off i go into Alliance Raid - got Aglaia got this time 2 SGE's and both chose to spam their single target shields on me... and i was not even MT.
Are all healer gone and only interns are left ? Especially SGE's are most of time bad, really bad. And i am not talking leveling i mean lvl 90 content. /rant end

Are all healer gone and only interns are left ?

I wouldn't be surprised honestly. The only people that like current healers are Slyphies that think Healers should heal, even if there's nothing to heal apparently.

Yoshi, probably: "Working as intended!"

God knows until healers are changed from this current boring formula, I probably won't ever touch mine again outside of covering a healer role for friends.

Heck of a generalization...

Yes, they are gone.

When you have a class that is dumbed down to one button and can get by with just spamming Medica II endlessly, with a very low skill ceiling, along with a playerbase who is stuck in a "healers are meant to heal" mindset and can't even see if you're healing a lot on top of doing high damage without a cast bar or regen ticks and will look down on you as a filthy elitist green dps regardless ...well, why would most decent healers step foot into DF, or even use the role?

Healers are made for the players who want to put in the absolute bare minimum and get away with it. So that's the average type of player you get healing you.

Meh, I'm jaded after years of getting shafted as a Healer main. I generally don't see people that actually like healers as they are unless 1) They don't main the role or 2) Are new to the game and don't know what's been going on with healers for years. The scarce handful of people that do main healer and have for years are more in the camp of "Healers should heal" when pressed so I generalized it.

Wait, is this what we're calling them now? Im not saying im opposed, but the reference in my head is still the Forum Princess Healer. "I dont play a healer to do damage"

I’ve met this kind of WHM 3 days ago when I queued in as a GNB with my friend (SAM) to Dead Ends via Expert Roulette.

• ALL wall pulls: no Holies, not even a single Dia was thrown. Just Cure I. Cure I. I’ll feel better if I can just delete the action’s sound effect from the game. I saw a few Glare III here & there but possibly about half of them are cancelled.

• 1st boss: my friend clipped and never get their Esuna. In the chat they wrote ”Sorry I can’t Esuna myself.”

• 2nd boss: WHM died very early. 2nd DPS was a SMN but they did not raise the WHM for whatever reason. About 20% left they also died. We cleared without wipe nevertheless. After the encounter SMN apologized for forgetting they have a raise.

• 3rd boss: Similar to 2nd boss, except this time SMN died quite early but did not get their raise before the WHM died to something else (to Doom IIRC) themselves, leaving myself and my friend to duo the boss.

/smh

[Jettinson]

But speaking of experience, I am glad there is no trial like Ramuh ARR, ended up being stunned/fear for over 30 seconds because no one bothered to drop the electric aoe on me while I was showing to people how to remove that.
Pinnacle ARR fight

What is it with tanks in general who don't use any GCDs on packs, but pop every single one before the boss. I can understand doing that in Stone Vigil. I can't in Malikah's Well. You'd think by that time people learn to read their tooltips.
