Why Do You Care?

Last night, I was in Dragonhead waiting for my dungeon queue to pop, and I was just buffing people with Stoneskin for the heck of it as they ran past. Most people stopped to thank me but I had a select few that were just so.... rude! One told me to piss off; that I was interfering with his questing by buffing him I care because I am a caring person and hate to see people struggle IRL and in game. I even will stop and heal a person that's taking a walloping from several mobs out in the game world (if i can figure out how to target them in time). It's just my sense of duty, I suppose!

This is the type of stuff I do when I play a healer. I wanted to Tank is this game because I, one they didnt have a rog type class, 2 War have got get cleave with a big axe and 3 I been a healer / support in most MMO games I've played.

I do it because it is a great way to help the community out as a whole, in open world at least. Though it has been limited somewhat in this game, i.e. no protect. I have been saved many times in open world combat by a wandering healer, and ended up adopting that as my "return to the community".

In Dungeon/Instance setting, it is the most rewarding role to fill. You don't even have to know that instance that well, though it helps, to be a great benefit. A party succeeds or fails, sometimes solely, on how well the healer does.

Every now and then, you get the compliment/ acknowledgment that makes it a little bit more worthwhile.
