Now post the correct version

i have no idea what you guys are talking about and i feel like it should remain like that.
This image and the edited one are both incorrect
When people start messing up I get a rush of dopamine, saving the raid from a wipe gets me going like nothing else. Having to adjust on the fly is way more fun than mindlessly pressing buttons for stuff you know is gonna happen.
Also I hate all of the idiots that spread the stupid heals*ut meme. Notice how 90% of the time they're lonely tank players. Nobody cares about you. Keep it to yourself and press your defensive buttons, monkey.
you sound really flustered, dear, want your butt stuffed so you feel better?
I want you and everyone else that says this drivel to go stuff yourselves so I don't have to read it anymore.
Ah, I love a bratty sub. I'm gonna use all of that manapussi to keep my HP bar fully engorged.
>healbawd rebelling and not accepting their natural place
TAAAAAAAAANKS
I know all the blows to your head tanked your already room temperature IQ to the point where all you can do is follow your hormonal instincts, but at least try not to immediately prove my point, shitty tank.
Go back.
>healer is a smug shithead
Do you ever wonder why people don't like you?
If you actually read my posts you'd realize I only hate the morons (almost always tanks) that try to say all healers are bawds that lust for wiener or whatever other homosexual fantasies run through their minds.
You brought it up, it seems like the homosexual fantasies run through YOUR mind, Anonymous. That says a lot about you as a healer, try as you might to fight it. Of course, we all know you aren't really fighting it, you are just trying to annoy a tank so he takes out his frustrations on you in the bedroom later. It's a classic sub maneuver; rile up the dom on purpose to receive punishment.
>n-no, saying you hate something actually means you like that thing!
Never interact with a woman irl. You'd be in jail within a week. I wasn't even the one that brought it up, other anons (morons) were trying to get OP to post the wrong healbawd edit of that pic.
Freaks.
UUUOOOOOH bratty heal bawdtu! Needsu rapeu correction! UUUOOOOH healer whining in party chat, erotic! UUUOOOH
I hope you get chat banned from whatever game you play so you don't make other healers feel as disgusted as I am right now. You seriously thought anyone would actually be amused to read this garbage? Keep it to yourself.
I opened this thread hoping to get actual healer discussion for once, and lo and behold its the same bad actors, like every other thread. The only person in denial here is you, your porn-addicted brain can't accept that there's actual normal people in the world that just want to play a role in a video game without being branded as some e-prostitute for it. I'm not even trying to change your mind, but maybe if I hurl enough insults at you you'll realize just how much of a moron you really are.
Don't take my images by the way, get your own. I already posted that one.
>I opened this thread hoping to get actual healer discussion for once, and blah blah blah made-up justification please, PLEASE just dick me down already
Anon, I'm sorry, but I'm not a tank, I can't help you with what you need. I just like watching you squirm as you try not to admit it. I am going to play Game and Watch Gallery 4 now, so I must leave this thread, and you, as much as it saddens me.
Leaving because you know you're beaten, good riddance. It's okay that you're too ashamed to admit it, I won't make you. I actually like you now knowing you aren't a tank player. They're usually the worst, both in terms of personality and gameplay. I hope you have fun!
can I be your friend on discord :3
I will kill you if you speak anymore
Why the frick would I ever let you do that?
It had a different op this time so I was hoping things would be different.
and you - there's no way i would be convinced someone who is a quarter of the posts in this thread avatargayging with anime girls constantly isn't here for the attention. either you're here as a healbawd or as a moronic attention prostitute so take your pick
i just want to be your friend you stupid dumb bawd
>I want to be friends with anon, what should I do?

you opened a thread that always has the same content and were surprised even in the slightest?
anon most people who play video games are not smart or particularly good at them. add on top of that playing mmos so the average player iq is down by 10 points
Hey, I have that picture too. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, Anons. For the record, I have no problem interacting with women, it's not as hard to get them to just admit it when they're playing hard to get. They love that shit. Of course, if you aren't a woman, you definitely like being treated like one in the sack - so naturally, you two are the same way. You don't fool me or anyone else. If you really felt this way, you'd know the futility of trying to change anyone's mind and just steer clear of this thread... yet here you are...
Frick off with your shitty Kafka traps. "If you don't deny it your a healbawd and if you do deny it you're just a bratty healbawd". Everybody can see through your bullshit.
oh its the pseudo psychology analysis anon. again. this guy only readed freuds wiki page and thinks hes a master at human psyche, you DO realize how stupid you sound right? everyone mocks you behind your back.
You have me confused with another Anon, but I guess that would mean more than one person is on to your painfully obvious game. But you prefer it that way, don't you?

Healbawd meme was 100% started by the AGPs that absolutely infest MMOs
>Also I hate all of the idiots that spread the stupid heals*ut meme.
Hits too close to the truth, eh?
Healing and support roles are feminine in nature. Women do that. Therefore disgusting homosexuals are attracted to it and homosexuals like to pose as bawds.
That's all there is to this aids infected meme.
>what are combat medics
>Who were physicians and shamans/healers during more than 2 thousands years
>implying women most women were anything other than a wife or a servant
he's trying to gaslight people to troon out please understand
>Healing and support roles are feminine in nature.
Spoken like someone who worries about being labeled as a homosexual.
it's not feminine if you start treating "support" like "commander" where you're actively watching everything and making plans on how to kill everything as effectively as possible using your buffs and debuffs
That's just coping though
Based healchad. Literally saving the party is such a great rush when you have the chance.
idk about MMO's but win or lose, it's always the bottom one. frickers can be so entitled and will blame you for their failures.
>most MMO healers love when things start to get difficult because then you can actually use your kit to its fullest
You get healers that know their full kit? Must be nice.
I remember this one time I had to carry the last boss in a dungeon as a PLD because the healer was too busy shoving lego up their nose.
It was hype moment for me and the the DPS so I guess I should be thankful?

you homosexuals really roleplaying as couples huh........
...may i join?
If you have to ask then no
Healer/support should be hard to play and have medicore offensive power if you are good enough so you can carry your moronic allies.
Very true. Healer/support is almost always the hardest role in video games for exactly this reason.
>Healer/support should be hard
And yet it isn't while still attracting the biggest morons I've ever encountered in MMOs.
It can be in certain games and according situations. One frick up is a wipe for the whole group.
The reality of it is that if you're playing a healer and you're not a homosexual who roleplays in these threads, you do it because you have to level it up for some reason.
>he doesnt have friends to party with on DD
Most healers are total dogshit. They fundamentally do not understand anything advanced about their role. They dont pre-heal. They dont do triage. They rarely assess cooldown usage unless it's following a specific script/assignment for it.
And when you call out any healer for any reason they turn into the most whiny pissbabies imaginable. You tell a DPS to not stand in fire and they hang their heads in shame as everyone laughs. You tell the tank he has to mitigate the tankbuster he'll say "my bad". You tell the healer he ought to prioritize the players with the DoT during this phase because they need healing more than anyone else and jesus fricking christ you'd think you'd told the guy youve fricked his mother and sister at the same time. Watch the litany of excuses about why his healing is fine and the deaths aren't his fault and his throughput is simultaneously good enough and that throughput is also not the correct measure of healing and on and on it fricking goes.
Every healer has an ego the size of a planet, and less than 1% of them have the skills to back it up. What a fricking shitshow of a role. Any content that doesn't require healers immediately becomes a million times better. GW2 had the right idea.
In this raid tier of XIV I swapped off of healer because I got a bit tired of the role after playing it for 4 years straight and holy shit, the average healer is so bad. I died to a lack of heals countless times. I had to constantly tell the healers how to efficiently use their cooldowns, what abilities to press, etc. I'm cursed to forever play this role because so many of them are just fricking midwits.
This is the result of the healer role being dumbed down for morons. WoW and XIV hold the blame. Add in the healbawd meme and the creatures that were drawn to it and that's that. It's pretty much cursed from this point onward.
>Gw2
but they caved and added healers, which are now also op boon dispensers for either quickness or alacrity. Guardain needed a brain to be useful before Firebrand. Know when to time ageis and stability, but now it's full moron.
This is true. And I've seen a WHM use rescue appropriately once.
It was me.
>rescue
They should change it so you can't rescue tank roles because Jesus FRICKING Christ do I have PTSD from that shit.
Rescue in general needs a re-work. It would be great if you could use it to place your idiot party member off of obvious red tiles but most of the time people who use it wrong end up placing someone who is in place right off a cliff.
True and Factual
The best healers are people who just play it as a backup when they have to to get a group together.
>Most healers are total dogshit.
Just like most tanks who forget to put on their tank stance and are unable to pull wall-to-wall.
Or DPS who have to be babied every step of the way.
>They fundamentally do not understand anything advanced about their role.
That's a good thing.
It means that there's more to the class which people need to know to leverage its strengths properly. Just because many people don't know that is not fault of the class.
Also, you're being a whiny homosexual. You don't really need to know all that stuff until you're progressing and doing harder content. A mage who will just heal and keep your party alive while having 1/3 of the optimal damage output is at least not going to have the party wipe out (in 99% cases with that 1% being the actually hard content).
>And when you call out any healer for any reason they turn into the most whiny pissbabies imaginable.
I saw far more DPS and tanks ragequit or flame than healers.
Your anecdotal complains are worth nothing (just like mine, as we clearly have different experiences).
>You tell a DPS to not stand in fire and they hang their heads in shame as everyone laughs.
>You tell the tank he has to mitigate the tankbuster he'll say "my bad".
>You tell the healer he ought to prioritize the players with the DoT during...
>What a fricking shitshow of a role. Any content that doesn't require healers immediately becomes a million times better.
lol
LMAO
I don't know of what planet you exist, but you're clearly a butthurt DPS/tank who didn't get healed/revived because you're sucking ass and getting yourself kid like a moron.
>Every healer has an ego the size of a planet
Right. Most healers I saw were quick to apologize rather than claim they did nothing wrong. It's tanks who usually throw hissy fits.
You're just complaining like a child and blaming a class instead of accepting that you're just playing with morons, kids, selfish homosexuals, and bad people.

This poster bought the mmo meme and got turned into a snow baby. Imagine posting this shit in dark souls 3 thread or doom. You are being (ef) feminized by mmo crap.
Minecraft has healing if you want it. The best form is cooking food and sharing. You can use red stone to automate farms. The brewing stand can only really be used for healing if you willing to or have someone go into the nether and get nether wart. Very key ingredient. Then you can make healing potions, but it still costs gunpowder for splash. I do consider these things superior to games made for women and make pretend men. It does reveal how utterly destroyed people get when in the mmo dimension but I don’t feel bad for them. I always sided with the tough people who could know how to fight or at least stuck to 5 man heroics and didn’t care about gear score. Blizzard trannies got fed up with people not caving to their shitty girly Barbie game that is why mmos died.
Are you gonna post the picture of not? And I wonder how many games let you build an offensive Priest? In Shaiy you could make your Priest a ''borc'' basically applying all the stats points as if it were a mage. Sometimes it even ended doing more damage than a mage
The worst thing ffxiv has ever done was make it possible for tanks to survive some entire bosses alone without healers. The team should always 100% be dependent on the healer to survive an entire encounter and if they let their healer die it's over.
I literally never had to heal my group's warrior once in all of DSR except for the 30 second period where he has the healing down debuff in phase 6. I barely had to heal the other tank too because they always used invulns for the tankbusters. So fricking boring that even in an ultimate you barely have to touch your tanks.
>I'm shit at the game and died to the boss in baby mode content, therefore everyone else needs to die as well so I don't feel bad
Lmao actually uninstall yourself from the gene pool
>possible for tanks to survive some entire bosses alone without healers
You mean most? A good WAR, PLD and GNB don't need a healer. DRK can handle a lot of fights alone as well but might need items.
>if they let their healer die it's over.
I should be punished because my healer rides the fricking short bus to school?
This isn't about some healer power tripping bs, it's about the overall design of the game and fights being absolute dogshit where team play doesn't matter at all.
You're playing an MMO, they're just one big simon says team jumprope at this point. You get punished if anyone is a moron.
Except we're talking about XIV where you can ignore the healer entirely if the tank goes PLD and the DPS manage their self heals properly.
Not in Savage or Ultimates unless the party is both extremely coordinated and have all mits and personal cooldowns down to a t, something only .1% of the population can do. I play healer and a lot of the time I can just ignore the tank almost entirely since they're good at managing their own hp, but the rest of the party would flop over dead without at some aoe heals.
In casual content though yea your moron healer can die and you can just 3 man the dungeon boss or whatever while the moron gets emasculated watching everyone else do the boss correctly.
Yeah, about that. Savage and Ult clears have been done without healers. You say only 1% of the population can savage and ult raid, how many people do that without scripts or addons?
I didn't say 1% of players can do Savage or Ultimate, I said maybe .1% of the population can do those sorts of clears with no/one healer. They're EXTREMELY impressive but they require a level of coordination that a lot of players just won't be able to do. Anyone can do them, given enough time.
>how many people do that without scripts or addons?
A good amount of people. My group wanted to use addons to automark people in TOP for Run Sigma/Omega. I told them frick no and just did it myself marking people down the list. Everyone else got the benefit of having a marker stuck above their head with no scripts. Only took a few seconds at the start of each mechanic. People just like to take the easy way out, but it's really not that hard to just do shit normally.
You won't even need a healer in 7.0
Do people really play girl healers to get hit on? Why? Before reading this thread I thought healers were cool guys like me who wanted to be cool like Taric from League of Legends, but man you guys are uncool. I guess this is what happens when you play too much Defense of the Ancients 2
your reverse psychology won't work
Cleric chads were replaced by healbawds. The role is irreparably ruined.
I play a girl healer but she's fully armored so she looks cool anyways.
kys troony
I like playing healer/support in games where the class is complicated and also has offensive power. Being support and seeing your ally not taking advantage of the buffs is anoying.
Girls get free shit for being girls. This is why I never correct someone who refers to me with "she"

I don't care about your healbawd fantasies, but back in Tera priests could overheal so much it was crazy just how much bullshit you could get away with. As long as people didn't get oneshot there was basically no way a good priest would let anyone die, plus they could weave in a lot of support as well.

Look I like being a cute tight hipped healer boy as much as the next guy but I don't know if I like the sexualization of the role
The aesthetic is fun but full-on fetishizing it is odd to me
I don't want to sexualize the role, I want to sexualize you
I do enough of that as-is but ingame I've got a JOB to do
I mean, I want to clear the run too. We aren't here to just wipe because we're too lewd, but there's definitely moments where I want sexually bully you. Being a healer just makes it that much more easier is all

me on the bottom
The problem in TERA was that if everyone did their job right and was paying attention, there was no need to heal that much.
Priests could do crazy healing but nobody ever really needed their full output. Which is why at some point people almost required mystics for healers purely because they could place mana motes which were faaar more helpful to the survivability of the raid.
I member it was fun lasso-ing peeps in that babies vs players battleground.

Stop using random people as your fetish fuel.
I play healer for the attention, not because I like the gameplay elements.
Stop sullying our role then you're giving us a bad look
Both these types of healers are gay homosexuals, the second just acts like they're hot shit even during a small slip up or unavoidable damage but god forbid they make a billion mistakes or are shit at their job then not a squeak lmao. There are plenty of normal healers.
do you prefer tryhard or hard bawd?
>There are plenty of normal healers.
Yeah actual normal healers LOVE it when things go wrong. That's the only time you really can have fun. It's stressful but it's a good kind of stress. People that get mad about it are just insufferable.
that is why they do group PvP
PvE is literally just simon says
I actually love pvp as a healer. You get focused down so hard and I just get this nice smug feeling shrugging it all off while keeping myself and my bros alive while their team gets dumpstered.
I don't know, I've seen way too many healers just break down when bars start to drain and they don't know who to heal next. Deer in headlights is a real thing for people who were trained from 1 to 80 just pressing heal on the bar that's lower than everything else.
And modern MMOs are fricking miserable at teaching people party dynamics. Here's a genre all about trying to accomplish hard goals and have fun as a team and most of the story, quest campaign, dungeons, and character tutorials on how to use their team-based character is done entirely solo. Most games (Looking at you Tree of Savior) punish people for partying up with XP penalties if they have even a minor level difference.
I think that's more of just a problem with modern MMO design in general. The playerbase is babied with easy content for a really long time, and an emphasis is put on everyone being able to do everything, so that you aren't felt like you're forced to bring a certain class. It ends up breeding weak healers who can't step up to the plate when it's needed. It makes the healers that can, do, and enjoy adapting that much more special, at least.
Oh and that's another real problem with Healer while I'm thinking about it: You can only really know how to best heal your party if you are at least fluent in how everyone else's class is supposed to work. No other role requires you to have knowledge of someone else's class in order to play the game except being support/healer. Some classes do better when they're at 50% health. Some wouldn't be at danger dying even if they're at 1 health. Several classes are supposed to use a spell that drastically lowers their health as part of their rotation, make it back up in life leech, and then rinse repeat. Healing these classes is counterproductive, if not detrimental to their rotations.
Then we wonder why no one else can play Healer when most people only encounter another class when they see them standing around in town.
>Several classes are supposed to use a spell that drastically lowers their health as part of their rotation
I remember one mage class had "exchange hp with mana" and it always gave helers mini heart attacks
>I've seen way too many healers just break down when bars start to drain and they don't know who to heal next.
That because modern MMOs condition people in to believing few people should ever get hurt in a fight and rarely severely. They don't know what its like to walk into a hellscape where everyone was going to take damage and the game would sprinkle in some spike damage here and there just for fun. Oh and on top of that, your resources were finite so good luck.
Healing is gay. A weaklings response to the enemy attacking your allies. Shielding and buffing is based. You give your team the tools to go in and win the fight.
>be healer

As a former TERA (rip) mystic, I liked having shit to do other than drop my elin's balls on top of everypme/
i'm here only for the edits of you-know-what picture.
its the same with every role
tanks are portrayed as being caring and wanting to protect others
when in reality its
>you pull it you tank it
>oh I thought you wanted to tank this pull since you ran ahead
>its not my job to keep aggro on every target, just the one we are killing, not my fault if you can't aim and rip aggro
and the such
To be fair, after a certain point you have to let people die to teach them a lesson. Even in SWTOR which had range taunts, aoe taunts, and range pulls, you would still get idiots going rogue.
>>its not my job to keep aggro on every target, just the one we are killing, not my fault if you can't aim and rip aggro
It literally is, I tank mained for ages and love it when I got parties who wanted to wall bang and speedrun through shit.
>its the same with every role
Not DPS, DPS are actual morons as portrayed
i miss the support role. modern MMOs should bring them back. healing is fun but it doesnt scratch the same itch. i want to buff my allies in unique ways besides just filling their health bars when they take damage.
last game that did this was probably tree of savior but it was just aping supports from RO
>but it was just aping supports from RO
That's what people wanted though. The problem was that the game didn't take enough from RO.
Post the real version where the healer is getting his prostate rammed by his fat hairy bf
I just frickin' love healing people. Starting way back when playing assault in BF3, brain feel good when I see health bars go up and people get off the ground. I really cannot understand how people can be so bad at healing people in any game or genre.
I'm a tall and muscular man with a wife and I play healer because if I can get bros to properly sync with me we can become the A team and win the war
Do you mean muscular man and qife in your irl or hwo can i understand it? May i ask, how did you meet her?

You have to seek it out a little to find it
Most of the stacies that chads frick go out of their way to be available in hookup spots or will throw themselves at him. The other anons are right you're going to have to draw attention to yourself if you actually want that kind of thing
How do I draw attention to myself?
nta but simply start writing in the chat and see if anyone bites, be friendly but not pushy and loose from the get go... or be a complete bawd from the get go. I'm pretty sure someone will like it.
Be sure you're on the right server. Not every shard/server has a sizeable RP community or people looking for that kind of stuff.
In NA it's Balmung afaik. I'm not sure about EU, unironically check reddit.
Look for RP guilds, promenade yourself in Limsa etc.

In league of legends, the most impactful role is support but it some how attracts the worst possible humans because of this meme.
I swapped to support for this exact reason (and queue times), I was tired of idiots not knowing how to ward the upcoming teamfight, or think on a macro level at all. Jumped from plat into diamond off of just placing wards correctly and switching to supporting whom'st'vever is the most fed.
It depends.
If it's because the content's hard, it's cool.
If it's because the group's moronic, they get very bitter very quickly.
Picture being the tank while some moron spams backstab on everything, pulling it off you constantly only to complain you can't hold agro.
Now imagine that's your whole group.
moron healer here. I like watching my teammates' health bars go up.

>OwO
Listen if you do that shit as a healer, you're a fricking shit healer, alright?
Even in games like Space Station 13, which has a shitload of roleplay, doctors don't go around uwuing you, they stitch you up, defib you if needed and focus on making sure you can at least walk after the round's antag is done deswording you.
In games like Dota 2 or MMOs, it is the same: who the frick has the time to spend roleplaying or going all submissive?
Healing is a hard job, you have to focus on healing the right people at the right time and very often you can't focus on other things, not unless the game is shit and it has no depth.
The only exception may be tabletop games like D&D because it's turn based and each combat encounter may be 30 minutes to 1 hour.
>The only exception may be tabletop games like D&D because it's turn based and each combat encounter may be 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Because your DM is shit and doesn't know how to make encounters that are a.) balanced b.) appropriate to the party's understanding of the game
>Because your DM is shit
You are shit, frick you.
A proper encounter you don't steamroll takes time, we have fun with his encounters, you just have ADHD.
>A proper encounter you don't steamroll takes time
More power to you guys if your group is having fun, but even a difficult and engaging combat encounter shouldn't need to take much longer than twenty minutes or so, if your party isn't fighting ancient dragons or the avatar of some deity trying to encroach onto the Prime on a regular basis
clerics in the game isn't going to be some uwu heal bawd, they are likely going to pound your ass with their buff stacked attacks.

This was it for me for EVERY role. Like my dream would been to have a tryhard group who speedruns and minmaxes dungeon their hardest or tries to run it with close to no gear. But well this is not the type of players MMOs attract... What you get is a bunch of absolutely fricking joke of players who have the lowest skill out of any genre and some will equip their fedora and start lecturing you about how it was wrong to pull the next pack too early without waiting for everyone to be ready even though we have plenty of resources to go on but you are so fricking shit and enjoy wasting your life in this shitty fricking loot dice loot simulatorrrr aAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
>finish tanking a very hard dungeon
>healer sends a private message
>"you are probably the hardest tank I ever had to heal"
>Plenty of MMO:s move away from tanks having intensively strong passive damage reduction, especially in multi-target situations.
>Replace most of that with more busy, actively oriented toolkit where you can easily pinpoint when the tank is slacking off, or the tank simply dies.
The lower is usually in charge of almost 90% of tank deaths, succeeding lazy healers and gear.

Man, i tried all roles but DPS is still my favorite role. I love killing shit before it can even retaliate in a way that matters and i love camping Blackrock Mountain's entrance to kill autowalking gays that are not paying attention.
I wish I had a Draenei mommy to force me to be her heal bawd and wiener sleeve
EU?
>Actual healers

Been there little dude, sometimes you just have to make some sacrifices in the name of gaming, nothing to be ashamed of, some water and blesch and that floor is gonna be good as new
Why am I getting hard at this cute boy pissing himself up?
Effort is sexy, idon'tgiveafrick people get old fast
Cute boys getting embarrassed is hot
It's also a lot more shameful for boys to pee themselves than girls because they're supposed to be strong and manly.
why does he have a boner though?
Should I play WHM; SCH or AST?
t. Freetrialgay
WHM is nice and simple and also the best healer in the game. SCH is also really good. AST is CBT cancer and they fricking killed it this expansion. It's being reworked next expansion.
Thanks anons, pretty bummed AST isn't what is used to be then because the aesthetic and business of the job made it look appealing. I'll go for SCH then, and maybe WHM if I feel like leveling both.
Now for a meme question, what kind of players tend to go for each healing job? Did you any notice trend?
There's a meme about WHMs being healbawds but don't you dare believe it, it just has the lowest skill floor so attracts some idiots, but when played properly its the absolute strongest of the bunch.
t. WHM
The stereotype about SCHs is that they're played by parse obsessed trannies that will let you die if it means a .1 dps increase, because their extra resources make you choose between damage or healing, and bad SCHs end up being too greedy with it.
AST and SGE don't really have any strong stereotypes.
Honestly though, since you're on the free trial, all the healers mostly play super similar 1-60, so try em all out.
I miss the time mechanics most of all, throwing out a spread balance then celestial opposition -> time dilation was so fun. I thought they removed it because they were going to make the new healer Time Mage, but nope, SGE.
Nice complete answer, you can't go wrong with the classic I suppose, and I love the famous white robes so I'll definitely try WHM out.
For me it's:
>multitaskers who prefer keeping an overview over the situation and their party over just focusing on killing/tanking
I like Aoe2 and Advance Wars, that kind of games, so sitting in the back focusing on my "units" and how to achieve victory with them is fun. While having to fight and deal damage at the same time of course.
Finally downloaded the game, went for conjurer and female elezen
>the spoiler
Not bad, it could have been worse.
Thank you, I spent too much time on the character creator screen.
Cute sprout
>cute elezen
Pretty good actually.
Also, be prepared for a slightly slow, monotonous combat. Healers in general do not have the most complex rotation, especially on lower levels (<50), so if the game becomes a chore either try out other classes or go do DoH/DoL stuff if you're into gathering/crafting (it can be a good source of gil).
Try to enjoy the game instead of hurrying yourself to get to the endgame and rushing through the MSGs. That's a best way to get burned out and lose interest in the game for most people. But do ignore the advice if you know that getting burned out doesn't apply to you.
I'd rather make gil letting people fill every hold god drilled into my slender frame
this anon isn't me.
I see, don't worry I like FF so I intend to take my time and enjoy the story at my own pace, I don't want to ruin my own experience immersion is important.
>I don't want to ruin my own experience immersion is important.
The games would be so much better if more players were like that.
Here are some handy resources:
https://www.ffxivcollection.com - best site to see all gear in the game
https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com - player created glamours
https://saltedxiv.com/#combat-jobs - good guides for the combat classes (the site has other guides for raids etc.)

You'll find the rest of stuff yourself when needed. Just play the game for now.
This will proves most useful, thanks a lot again anon.
There must've been a lot of powercreep since the game launched, is there any way to play the old content with the same difficulty it had when it first launched?
>There must've been a lot of powercreep since the game launched, is there any way to play the old content with the same difficulty it had when it first launched?
One of the good things about the game is that all content is scaled by default and you'll go through all dungeons and stuff as you level up and progress through the story.
You aren't going to skip any content like in WoW where you skip everything but the latest content.
You can of course play all content unsynced but that's when you want to farm mounts and stuff, for story and XP you need to do it synced.
Perfect then, have a nice day anon.
Glad to be of help. Do enjoy the game, anon.
Adding to this that there is some power creep involved. Level sync works, but most skills and spells have higher potencies now than they had back in the day. This means bosses do die faster, and you sometimes end up skipping a mechanic or two. It's not very noticeable unless you've already played back then and end up wondering where phase soandso went
>what kind of players tend to go for each healing job? Did you any notice trend?
From my experience, most common reasons to play a healer are
>"LMAO I'm not waiting in a queue"
>"Frick this! I'm not going to depend on some homosexual to heal properly so I'm going to do it myself"
>multitaskers who prefer keeping an overview over the situation and their party over just focusing on killing/tanking
>people with generally protective/caring/kind/motherly tendencies and personalities even if they aren't aware of it nor would say it out loud
As for individual jobs, what
said.
>>"Frick this! I'm not going to depend on some homosexual to heal properly so I'm going to do it myself"
literally me
WHM is the most straightforward one and has the highest raw healing. You can't go wrong with him.
SCH and AST have their gimmicks and rely more on applying shields/buff and stuff rather than healing (or are supposed to anyway), but they still heal of course, just a bit differently.
If you aren't sure, go WHM.
>AST
I miss the old card system so much it hurts
also the actual damage moves
WHM > SGE > SCH > AST
At level 60 I would honestly say AST. WHM is the most straight forward to learn and play but it doesn't even start to get interesting until level 50 and doesn't really feel good to play until 76+. SCH is a barrier healer and has a somewhat different role than the other two, focusing primarily on shielding and mitigating damage rather than healing it back up, at certain low level ranges I think it feels both better and worse to play than WHM. AST probably has a better leveling experience than either of them but you'll still be missing one of your core healing abilities at level 60 (Earthly Star is 62) but at least you have your party mitigation, raid buff, and card mechanic.
They are two sides of the same healloose coin. I play healer to heal, I don't have some bratty superiority complex or some naive cum hunger, I just play the game. If you even think about this shit you are well on the way to getting split in half.
It's just a lazy support player, they're usually unskilled and hate putting effort so they throw
Healers should be threats.
we are, in pvp
Sorry but I am a dps healer.
No, this is gay mmo healers and it sucks, anime face cringe post.
All that happened after world of Warcraft for decades is no one even played Priest right and most people didn’t like it and played Discipline spec or Druid because they made it better for raids, whereas holy was the exploration spec with friends. If you still think you under the law of the Old Testament in your church then you are antichrist (anathema).
Anyway it’s such a strong and offensive subject that it sidetracks enough that it can’t even be corrected and anyway blizzard uses the snowflake icon and not a cross anyway.
How you were supposed to play priest in wow: no professions at all, preaching the gospel IS your profession.
>You learn cooking and go around cooking food from the world, BEING EFFECTIVELY THE MAGE’S ADVERSARY. (This is biblical btw)
[Spoiler]You can grab herbalism as an off hand profession for the heal over time for your self. But you do well without it.[/spoiler]
This is literally all you were supposed to do, but everything else took precedence for favor of
>”the new game mode that suddenly appeared and no one had to explore anything anymore”
Healing is not supposed to be a priority when in battle in a game. The warrior is, or knight. I hated “class diversity forums” where everything is equal and no class is supposed to excel or be more important than the others that dungeons and dragons has brought and shit even it’s own injection into lord of the rings.
I can't be bothered to check if it's a pasta, I'm going to call you a schizo and call it a day.
>t. schizo
You are in some schizo’s post, schizo.
Christianity is not a schizo religion, but you are a false schizo. Figure that one out, idiot.
lower one is me trying to heal people or buff people before the last boss in elden ring and they just rush in and die or enter the fog while i'm trying to cast.

Nobody cares about you. You are doing it for free. Don't forget to swallow.

Except "things getting difficult" is when the party stands in fire and you have to spam your strongest heals when you could dps instead
if you play healer and you have a penis you are gay
See you at pride~
>Some heal shitter claims they're the most important member of the party
Lol, sure casting heal infinitely wont kill the Death Golem you homosexual auto rotation back-field loser
>healers
For anyone wondering, it's yaoi.
Don't waste your time.
I like (debuff + heal) support more than plain healer because it means when my teammates aren't dying horribly I can point at the enemy doing all the killing and say "this one dies NOW" and my teammates turn him into shredded meats
>Healers
If you think I'm going to have a modicum of respect for "men" who put on dresses, lock their dicks in chastity cages and suck dick for fun, you are sorely mistaken.
>Started playing healer because of the healbawd meme
>Ended up enjoying playing various game this way, simply doing my job as a support. Nothing degenerate.
Was worth it, it's a nice change of pace from the usual DPS or Tanking i used to do.
>a degenerate anon found the source of actual fulfillment over soulless degeneracy
Good job, anon.
Well i was already doing degenerate thing but i simply can't tie this to video games outside of random occasional lewd bets.
I just prefer doing my best when i play video games so it's not really compatible. At the end of the day i just switch roles and have included support into the mix, it's more entertaining for me at this point.

Tanking is the easiest role in any MMO. I have no idea why there is always a shortage. Perhaps it's fear of responsibility or performance anxiety. In a just world there would be a surplus of tanks and they would have to spec off into DPS to get spots in groups. We don't live in a just world, thoughever, and I along with my smug twink healer get to bully DPSlets.
I hate that XIV lobotomized it's healers. I hate that any moron can pick up healer and press two buttons and clear all content. It's fricking stupid. The role used to require skill, cooldown management and a cool head under pressure. I guess it's the natural result of the casualization and homogonization of MMO gameplay.
