Am contribution to team comrade.

I mean, I know this is b8 but a good healer can make the difference in a game. Plus it's usually an XP farm because keeping people not dead is easy unless they're retarded.

I play medic/healer in everything. Battlefield, Overwatch, MMO's, whatever. Shit's cake bro and everybody else is always obsessed with pew-pewing as much as they can so it's almost always an open spot.

I also have a god complex and like getting to choose who dies and having people giving me virtual high fives because I keep their K:D high.

>>345084196
>he says on a videogame imageboard
>"a-autist!"

>>
I like it because its usually the tactical job of the game. As a tank you need to be paying attention to the agro, rotation and shit; as a dps you need to closely watch your rotation and repeat the same shit untill the mob dies.

The healer on the other side is totally reactionary and dynamic because you need to adapt and heal whoever is taking more damage.

I also like it because sometimes I have to face some difficult decisions like letting the tank die and waste a huge cd on his rez while keeping the party buffed or spreading my heals and hoping that no one dies.

That said, its easier to carry a bad party as a healer than as a tank, if your equip is not highly op for the encounter.

In fps, mobas and other games that have healers I'm usually the support because they are the shot caller and decide everything your team will do to achieve victory.

The equivalent to what you're saying is "why would anyone want to play football if they're not the quarterback? "
>>
>>345084470
I've played dota 2 and hots. In those games its usually the support whos the captain of the team. I'm not even talking about one character or the other being more tactical, it's just the support role have more time to command the entire teams and their rotations because they aint focused on farming or taking merc camps that much.

That gives them time to analyze the map and coordinate the rotations and ganks of every single hero of the team. The same on fps with classes, the healer (medic on tf2 for example) has more time to think about what is happening in the general picture and how is the best approach to win the game.

Most of the time it would be inconvinient to bring your own hp low to heal someone else, because then you die to tank busters instead of them. Also, if the healing would be high risk high reward, it would probably be too good in skilled hands

I hate playing normal healers but I like combat healers.

It was one thing I felt Planetside 2 did well. I could go into a room with a shotgun and clear out the enemies, then heal/revive any of my dead allies and we could push onward. Sadly most games design their healers to only be capable of healing and you're hated by everyone if you're not being a 24/7 healslut.

In Secret World the blood mage is a healer that is based on giving allie defensive shields and can use his health to power skills once in a while if he doesn't have the mana, but Secret World gameplay looks like shit and doesn't feel particularly good either.

>>345084851
what youre actually saying is, "why would anyone be the team doctor". well for one, you get bribed by the coach to write false health reports so his team can keep playing and prescribe them steroids. two, you get the satisfaction of helping those in need practicing what you went to school for. and three, you get a lot of young and sexually frustrated men to gangbang you out of anger after a terrible loss.

if none of that sounds appealing then healing is not for you, irl or in game

Mainly the joy of knowing I carried shitters.
I'd honestly rather play a tank but there are so many shitty fucking healers I don't trust anyone but myself. Any retard who can spam taunts and stand still can tank. Managing cooldowns and switching between healing and DPS as a healer is something that is so far over the general public's head that I feel that I'm forced to play the role to not end up triggered every dungeon by how fucking stupid people are.

In actual healing I have no real fun with it. I just do it because I know no one else will do it as well as me.

The best thing about being a healer is when the big hairy tank shoves his meaty cock down your throat to thank you for a job well done.
>>
>tank
The class that is stalwart and unshakable in the face of great danger. Strong, confident, takes care of his party. Doesn't mind carrying the biggest responsibility even when it means taking the most risk. Takes charge and makes sure everyone else is safe. Confident and a natural leader. Their biggest fear is allowing anyone else to get hurt.

>healer
The class that amplifies the strengths of others and allows them to shine. Lacking the confidence to be on the frontline, but willing to do his best for the benefit of the party anyway. Doesn't mind taking a (relatively) submissive role because they know that's when they're most effective and appreciated. Is a credit to any party in their own way and takes care of those who need it the most. Altruistic and supportive, with a quiet pride. Their biggest fear is letting down those that depend on them.

>DPS
The class that specialises in backstabbing and hitting those that aren't actively hitting back. Lacks the confidence to take on any responsibility, but also lacks the common sense to admit it. Constantly upset that others don't think they're the greatest, but unable to realise that's simply because they're not as great as they think they are. Arrogant and selfish, but ultimately insecure. Their biggest fear is not getting the biggest numbers on the DPS chart.

Healing is fun because it gives you another aspect of the fight you have to pay attention to. DEDICATED healing is boring as shit because it takes you out of the fight almost completely.

I have had plenty of fun playing the healing classes in games like Priston Tale and Guild Wars because healers in those games still get to fight back. Every other class has a healing option to fall back on so you aren't as focused on player health bars and can actually have a bit more fun with it. Healing from a healing class is still a better option, though, and means you pretty much always have something to add to a group.

I dunno Anon, on FFXIV I've been maining WHM and SCH and having some pretty good fun.
For example, on the Whiping City the new raid add in the latest patch, one of the boss, Ozma (yeah FFIX's Ozma) is especially fun has a SCH since you have to:
-Put bubble on every aoe
-Micro manage your fairy to put its buff and HoT on tank
-Dispel dots on fellow players
-Eat up the energy balls that deal 8k damage and explode on a raid wide 10k damage if left alone
-Throw DoTs on bosses
-Literally save your fucking party every 20 sec around 20%HP (because holyshit people are bad at this game) by using your shield and other damage mitigation buffs
-Heal everyone back up
-While Micromanaging your MP
-Stay alive at the worst moment possible to use the LB3 to rez everyone

For a midcore player like me, Ozma is a lot of fun.

I'm thinking on working on a AST and have been working on learning Nidhogg Extreme too
>>

Most people who say shit like "I'm a healslut" and "I'm a big manly tank" are the ones that suck the most. Instead of actually getting better at the game they just stand around and erp. This is why I like open world pvp, whenever I see faggots doing this I just fuck them up

I don't enjoy it. Tell me, would you enjoy being only able to keep literal monkeys alive and have nearly no damage to contribute or to defend yourself?

I'm actually glad that Mercy's Pistol can deal out some damage, so I can pick at Reinhart's shield or snipe Bastions with it. For healers in general, you're hated unless you carry your team. But once you do, the enemy will stop at nothing to see you dead. Pretty much the most intense moments you'll have playing, desperately trying to fend off enemies as your teammates all ignorantly pick their nose.

Riders of Icarus has a pretty good healer. Your job is to raise your crit chance through the roof in order to break down the boss's status immunity buff. Debuffing your enemies lets you handle a much larger crowd than you'd expect and your special healing resource gives you the extra defense to tank hits as long as you don't spend it recklessly.
Spending your healing motes (3 max) lowers your defense but also gives you access to super powerful skills. A great single target heal that works as an aoe debuff against enemies and triggers more healing over time for each enemy that's affected by your damage/healing over time skill. A crazy strong fear that also drains an enemy's life and gives it to your party members. Even a couple straight up damage spells that just turn your enemies to dust.

the main appeal of ffxiv is that you can dress up your character through the glamour system and play any job on one character.

I usually don't play healers but after playing Mercy I can understand both sides of the story. I enjoy having a competent healer on my side and when I'm doing a decent job of healing I know from experience that my team appreciates me and everyone's happy in general.

I can understand wanting to feel that all the time in games where healers make a very big difference.
