Hello, I play whitemage as a main and I've always thought I've done a pretty good job at it. I've done plenty of Ak's and the such. I've never had any problems with a tank before. I try to help out when I can when they are new and such, but this happened to me earlier.

I seen a linkshell comment (not free company) asking to form parties for Ak. They needed a healer so I joined. So we're playing and things are going fine or so I thought. We are speeding along quite nicely. Up until right before the wall. The tank (has af2 body and +1 shield) who was part of the same linkshell says in chat (not knowing I'm part of the same linkshell) "This whm ????ing sucks." I reply "Really, I do?" He pauses for a moment not sure what to say and then finally says "Well, yeah. Your mp is always full and my health is always about half. I'm practically dying." Note: My mp was never always full. I always keep the tanks alive and never stray from the main purpose of my job. I never let them get dangerously low, but rushing through Ak I like to get it done asap. So I do damage, Aero, Aero 2, Thunder, Stone 2. When I see the tank start getting about 2/3 or 3/5 hp I begin curing to full and go back to dealing damage and I'm always 100% sure to do my job during bosses.

The tank was never in any danger of death ever. However, I just took it for granted that people who do ak try to get it over fast enough. So from what I'm guessing is that he wanted me to spam cures on him non stop and not deal damage. So my question for the wonderful tanks out there would be: During runs like Ak, would you prefer me, a whitemage, just to spam cure on you and always keep your hp at near 100% or would you rather me do damage to help us get through the dungeon faster as long as I don't compromise my job? I don't know if any other tanks have felt this way and if the majority of you prefer I do that then I will.

I don't know if other tanks have felt this way or not because no one has ever said anything to me. But then again they could just talk badly about me behind my back. I'd really like to know what you would prefer me doing. I don't want someone going around saying "yeah that ishiene phye. Thats a ????ing noob whm."

I helped finish the wall. Said "Thank you for the party. I'll be leaving now." and exited. I won't play with people who insult you behind your back. If you have a problem with me then I'd prefer you say it to my face.
