Why don't people like healers?
Single handedly keeping the group from wiping when shit goes wrong is so satisfying

Because they're needy faggots, always wanting to be thanked for doing their job. You don't see DPS or Tanks asking to be thanked for doing their job.

I didn't say it wasn't

But to receive praise for lowest amount of effort, its easiest for Healers since its almost free.

DPS is as much effort as you want to make it, you can be a 200 dps shitter, or you could be a 1500+dps master, but as a healer as long as nobody dies, you would get praised.

There's always the case of healers DPSing, but outsdie of raids its almost brainless to do both and you'll receive free praise because your icon is green

Agreeing with this. Healers are my most played things in any game when the oppertunity presents itself, but it seems like barely anyone actually has a desire or joy to simply keep people alive.

and Healed up to A7S with DPS up to A8S Clear soon maybe

The actual healing component is easy, its knowing when to heal, when its safe stance dance, and then the usual timing/positioning everyone else does. Much of that is lessened with communicating with your co-healer. Most of the challenges is something every role has to share in that you need to understand the mechanics and what is expected of you.

tl;dr in extreme/savage content, every role has their job that's "challenging" in their own way, I happen to have an easier time healing than dpsing, but other people will have the opposite oppinion

The only healers I ever enjoyed playing were priests in WoW and Tera. Former because I could mind control motherfuckers off cliffs and into lava. Latter because you could chain knockdown someone to death in pvp with ease. The healing aspect itself I view as a necessary tool in certain conditions, that's all. Pure healer classes that can't offer anything but topping off someone's green bar annoy me though. Feels far too stifling to be enjoyable.

They have the best MP regent out of all the healers. Their version of Shroud of Saints lasts 9 secs longer than WHMs. Also their version of Succor got buffed last patch so it's better than it (still can't crit I think).
Other than that I think it's all trivial. Synergy is great for tank busters, Combust I and II are amazing dots, Lightspeed is good for being an even better MP efficient healer/great for rezzing.
No Cure 3 equivalent is balls though and Collective Unconscious is even worse than Asylum and Sacred Soil.

With Spread's cooldown reduced to 30 seconds, and Shuffle no longer able to produce the same card twice, you have ample means to game the RNG. That is unless the game shits over you and alternates entirely between Ewer/Spire.

Because even if you are the best healer in the world, you will only make your dps look that much better. I used to heal a lot, but ultimately the dps gets the glory while you are just sitting there like a ghost. Which is why most healers are needy pussies, they know this is true, but they don't really have the skill to do anything else. Healing is brain dead.
>>
>>343578347
The weird thing is that most people acknowledge they need healers, but they still hate healers. Play any multiplayer game and refuse to heal anyone, see how that goes.

Everyone wants a healer, but no one likes healers and no one wants to be a healer. It's like how we all acknowledge that society needs rubbish collectors, but no one wants to be a rubbish collector themselves.

I'm sorry but that's just not the case. I've been playing in multiple servers and most people just go for normal-looking skin tunes which in my subjective opinion look really bad and unfitting for any Au Ra(even though story mode ones follow that trend)

example: >>343602661

I truly think an Au Ra looks the best with unnatural skin tunes.
Don't come around saying you see a lot of blue-skinned/red-eyed ones because it's not true! Freaking people with green/purple eyes, white lips, and all that are waaaaaaaay more common.

This.

If you don't find satisfaction in making people stronger and casting buffs on players and seeing green numbers fuck off.You can tell who would be a good healer with ease.

You see another player in the world struggling and dying if you

start healing and helping out. Then you are cut for the role.

if you keep doing your own thing and if he dies after you kill your mob or whatever and res him. The good intent is there but you don't have that want to keep everyone alive.

if you ignore/make him beg they you are a fag please play dps

Buffing players in combat is also good too but it can be time consuming so I understand why a healer wont do it to everyone.

Pity it only lasts 30 seconds, and you'll almost certainly pull aggro- meaning if they're trying to DPS down a mob you're quite likely to make it tether and reset its HP.

Honestly, I love doing this. I'll see a lower level player fighting something or doing a FATE and I'll throw Stoneskins and Regens on them and watch them do their thing. Then they'll usually bow or say thank you to me. It's a nice feeling.

I don't want to be a controlling dick with healing or anything, I just want to do my job and help out.

If I do grab aggro on something they are fighting, I usually kill it. They get full reward for it anyway.

Yeah, 30s is no time at all... If only Stoneskin was better (10% of low level HP might as well be nothing).

I don't get people who don't do this. I always help struggling players when I'm out and about in FFXIV (literally all it takes is a fucking instant cast spell which won't even slow you down), yet when I'm leveling other classes not once has a passing by healer helped me

And don't get me started on the kind of healers I run into in dungeons. Why are all healers almost universally such fucking shitty people (and players)? Just once I ran into a really chill co healer while doing 8 man content and it was legit the most pleasant experiences I've had in this game

I love DPSing as a healer honestly.

WHM spells pack quite a punch in cleric stance, and if feels good to get DPS on par with the DPSes, sometimes even better in certain circumstances.

Only times I don't DPS are when the situation's gone to shit and I don't have time for it, or I have to really watch MP.

Being a doctor is an incredibly stressful role, I don't think I could handle it either. I'd never want to do it. But I think a lot of people who should be doctors aren't because they think they aren't good enough, while a lot of people who are doctors have no business holding a person's life in their hands.

I've been in many hospitals and seen a lot of fucked up shit go down. Nurses regularly make dangerous medication errors and openly conspire to alter records to cover their asses. They shirk their responsibilities to make regular rounds and ignore call buttons, leaving patients who should be monitored regularly unattended for hours. Doctors are so overworked they can only spend two minutes a day assessing patients who need round the clock care. Nobody truly cares, it's just a job.

In the modern medical system, the typical duties of a doctor include:

>Preventing obvious and imminent death, then telling your patient to fuck off
>Collecting grants and conducting research and telling everyone else to fuck off
>Telling idiots to fuck off and tough it through whatever won't kill them
>Teaching basic healthy practices (a.k.a diet and exercise) and telling people to fuck off
>Prescribing antidepressants if you're not sure what's wrong with the patient and telling them to fuck off so you don't lose face

If you want to actually take care of seriously ill people, being a doctor is not the job for you. I respect the work they do, but there has to be a way to improve the system. Maybe if some of the prestige was removed less idiots would flock to the profession because they think it's just about making mommy and daddy proud and buying a big house.

Sorry, this is all off topic, but I just needed to vent. I'm sick of this shit.

>>343614178
That would work for the majority of cases. I'm sure you've heard the phrase "If you hear hooves, it's probably horses, not zebras." Databases are fine for patients whose symptoms present like typical horses, but what about zebras? Human beings have a difficult enough time diagnosing and caring for patients whose symptoms don't follow textbook disease paths. Or what about conditions that haven't been discovered yet? Would a machine really fare any better? The solution is more complex, I think.

Rank and file doctors doesn't deal with shit that aren't discovered yet. We can safely replace people who do menial and strictly mechanical part of the job with sufficiently advanced machines. If anything surgery will be done by robots in our lifetime at the very least.

Also i doubt we even be using symptoms for anything serious when we will be able to automate the diagnosis procedures.
>>
>>343617785
But how do patients with unusual, rare and undiscovered afflictions get access to the people who want to research them? They have to go through ordinary doctors and try to find one that recognizes they need to be passed onto a specialist.

Furthermore, human bodies are not all built to factory specification. Human doctors have difficulty adjusting to this. Any automated system would have to be carefully overseen by humans. Even with the most optimistic outlook on the future capabilities of machines I'm not convinced they'll prove much better than what little we have now.

I don't understand exactly what you mean by that last comment. Do you mean that in the future the accuracy of medical tests will make reporting symptoms unnecessary for diagnosis? I know someone who has tested positive for Graves' antibodies, but their symptoms, although having to do with the malfunction of the thyroid, are the opposite of typical Graves disease and typical Graves treatment is not effective on them. How would an automated system deal with a case like this?
