I like playing as a masochist too.

That would be the tank.
>>
>>338408535
who has it harder? the healer or the tank?

because it could be the tanks fault for not tanking, causing everyone to die.

or it could be the healers fault for not healing the tank properly, causing everyone to die.

Because they're boring
But to be fair, all classes are boring, no MMO has fun gameplay it's all about the progression.

>HEALER STOP PULLING AGRO!
Yea no, healer gets blamed for everything.

Faggot walks into a dot on the other side of the map and is out of range. "Healer why didn't you esuna me!"

I like playing healers, but when I do, we lack DPS. Life is pain when you have to carru every role.

That is why I liked Bloodline Champions. With a Psychopomp, I could solo entire enemy teams if my allies fucked up.

Who has the hardest role and why is it DPS___

>>338407636
I do and i like it. It's easier than scrubs make it seem and with a little bit of skill you're literally treated like a god. Plus no queues and shit. Only submissive betas gets sodomized as medpacks because they like it.

>>338408854
If the tank loses aggro, it's the tank's fault (Although alot of tanks will tell people to give him time to build up aggro, or to stop overhealing). If the tank doesn't lose aggro and still dies, it's the healer's fault (although alot of healers blame it on the tank's gear.).
>>
>>338407636
I'd rather be a DPS and have the least amount of responsibility in a group. Nobody can point out that I suck like they can with a healer or tank.
>>
>>338412162
And in the meantime you have dps classes that have the mental age of an infant shitposting in chat 24/7 while following a twitch channel and pressing 2 skills every 5 minutes
>>
>>338412367
Parsers exist
>>
>>338412367
they can look at your dps and see how terrible it is
>>
>>338412830
Dps meters are rarely allowed in mmorpgs
>>
>>338412367
I remember when I was tanking, I downloaded a dps tracker, and I ended up doing more damage than one of the dps. I didn't say anything though, I only speak up if someone is needing everything.

being the healer is the best

>>338412162
nowadays in wow tanking is more than just a dps rotation while holding aggro. If a tank sucks ass you can clearly tell, because they have so many active mitigation abilities but use them improperly or not at all

Or they just pull too much. There's plenty of reasons a tank could get himself killed despite having a competent healer when you think about it

But that's wrong. If no one wanted to play healer, no content would ever get done.

>Not bullying the tank instead.
You tease him all dungeon with your slutty ways and then you ride him like an animal at the end, he doesn't get a choice.

Besides, the size of his lala-loving dick means he wants it.
>>
>>338411657
Because there's a numerical measure of how you did, that if you care about getting better, you should always be pushing, rather than a binary "did you die" or "did you let everyone die"

Because it's frustrating and boring if you're playing with a group of random retards.

Why does FFXIV force healers to DPS? I chose this job to heal, if I wanted to dps I would have picked literally any other job.

What is the best XIV server? When I first started playing the game I made a character on Lich and didn't question it so much, but it seemed a bit empty at times. Planning to resubscribe and potentially make a new character on a different server that's a bit more populated or has better people all around.

In wow it was always shitty to not be dps.
How do you go from soloing boars as dps or what ever to healing in grps?
Anyway healing is the least fun role, tank is most fun in 5 mans and dps in most fun in raids.
>>
>>338414668
There is no best one
The only real way to describe servers is by how populated they are

Why is actual mmo healer such a potty mouth?

>>338415028
Dealing with retards all day long and not being able to do anything about it must be pretty annoying.

>>338415174
There's the god complex they inevitably develop, too.

>>338414889
wheres the comic of the fucking tank telling the fucking healer that hes not fucking healing enough as he soaks avoidable damage
>>
>>338415028
Because they're basically a babysitter
You can't keep people from doing anything, only try to make sure they don't get themselves killed
