Yes, we actually want to beat the dungeon/boss. A foreign concept to DPS players who can't figure out how to not stand in the glowing red circle.

Apologies, I'd insult you back but my queue is only fifteen seconds and I don't have time to come up with a good zinger.

the glowing black fire circles means a dps buff

imagine entering a virtual world where you can be anything and choosing to be the character that is only able to babysit the characters actually fighting the monsters

its sending shivers down my spine already, what kind of man voluntarily does this?

The kind who wants to be victorious against the raid boss.

i like playing the guy who prevents the boss from instakilling the dps

theres no better feeling than having the boss do some sick ass combo aoe BS on your raid and then you using a CD to save everyone\

the only possible way you can be a Big Damn Hero in an MMO

tfw the rest of the party celebrates together as comrades after killing the raid boss but you're a healer so no one even notices you

Some people like to be the wall with all the pretty paintings on it, and some people prefer to be the support beam that everyone forgets about and holds the whole house up.

I hated playing as a healer.

Everyone 100% relies on you yet if you do well no one notices and if you fuck up (or even if you don't fuck up but your buddies are idiots) you get blamed for everyone failing

I always get at least 2+ commends when I play healer

you're lucky if you get one so feel fortunate.

I remember one time specifically I was doing a raid as a healer (the other healer was shit) and did amazingly, kept everyone alive with difficutly and we won. No one noticed.

Same day I then did an easy Instance as a tank and despite it being a non issue everyone was sucking me off like I cured cancer.

Healers just don't get credit

Good healers are respected roles. We are doing much harder work than DPS. We also DPS too in downtime.

I main AST and SCH on FFXIV.

I always make sure to watch healers and I'll compliment them if they're handling things well. This topic is making me think about renewing my WoW sub...
