Except this isn't the case in casual gameplay. I've been doing most of the roulettes as heals the past couple days, with random, typical players, and I'm healing a lot.

Is it possible that you're just bad at healing?

Is it possible that you're just bad at healing?

I’m gonna say it again & try to reinforce your point: people do make mistakes randomly and we respond to that. What we also do know: the instance which those random mistake may even happen is NOT as random.

When is tank going to likely hemorrhage? That’s right… wall pulls. Any healers worth of their salt will anticipate this to happen & be ready push heal buttons. Will they get to use all of them? That depends on themselves & the tank. HOW they approach this will demonstrate how good or bad the healer is at handling their primary duty. You can be a gigachad healer who does not stop dpsing even when your tank do not use cooldowns—yes that’s possible. But DF tanks are rarely “absolute 0 mits”; they’re “inconsistent” in average. You can also be a freecure mage & not DPS at all; you’ll still get your clear (source: I forced many freecure mages to heal me through wall pulls as a DRK—if that does not convince you—general you—the amount of abysmal HPS that’s required in those instance alongside hundreds if not thousands of evidence littered around the internet, then Idk what to tell you.), but surely you know how terrible that sounds, right?

When will a DPS hemorrhage? Well… very unlikely… but easiest way to tell is to ask yourself “Am I doing a mechanic?”. If the answer is “Yes”, then that DPS will be likely dealing with the same thing—that is when they might take EXTRA damage IF they make mistake. If the answer is “No”, then nothing will happen to them unless they’re being stupid like purposely staying on puddle—something that average pugs will TRY to move out. Sometimes damage frequency is also low enough you can literally just wait for Assize, Earthly Star, Eos embrace spam, and Kardia to take care of everything.

If you can’t figure this out after playing healer then citing those ‘normal experience’, then you’re either special unicorn in this game, misremembering, lying, or you’re just bad at the game. People really do be underestimating the amount of HPS a single healer can puke out when they decide they want to heal a lot.
