      if that was your reason you'd be a tank since they're in higher demand in pretty much any mmo

        it's absolutely possible for healers to be in higher demand, at least temporarily
        but also, you just queue for both and it makes you heal sometimes

        At least in WoW each raid has only 2 tanks but many healers so finding a raid team is much easier as a healer.

        I'm only a healbawd because my dad LITERALLY groomed me for it. He used to play WoW 24/7 with his friends and he needed a healer so he would make me play with them and be the healer in raids because none of them wanted to be the boring healer role.

        Then when i got my first boyfriend he used to main ADC in lol and he wanted a Support healer.

        After all of that i just instinctively go for healers in every game i play. Sometimes i'm fed up with having to be a literal irrelevant support role and i try to switch to tank or DPS but i can't play melee things and nobody ever does supporting right so i always fall back on being a healer.

        Wonder how my life would have turned out if my daddy hadn't forced me to be a druid night elf.

    I actually like playing support classes because I like alternate ways to play. I'm not the kind who wants to rush in and do the most damage. If I want to play a game like that, I'll go play a 2D Platformer or single player RPG. Even then, if a single player game gives me an alternate option, I'll choose that. For example, I prefer playing summon nerco in Diablo 2.

    That said, I did both WHM and BRD/DRG in FFXIV. And I really liked those classes. But FFXIV was so tank focused I eventually tried playing a tank. Because 75% of the time when a party failed, it was the dumb tank not doing their job. And playing a tank was so damn boring. That, plus the hundreds of hours of filler dialogue made me quit.

          Based on my experience in FFXIV, about half of them. I'll be doing end game crap and the tanks still can't do their job. Making me have to heal them 3x as much. Granted, this is the fault of the game design. Having a "multiplayer" game where 95% of it is single player focused. And you can do most dungeons fricking up and still get through it. So tanks aren't forced to learn their job. The healer and DPS pick up the slack.

The whole healing pulse thing was fun and rewarded those who knew just when to tip the scales instead of sitting around with a healing tool, his weapons were good enough to remain lethal, and the self-res both could be a really sneaky play or addressed the fact that nobody else was as good or mindful enough to grab you when you do fall down. Unlike normal healbawds, he was exceptionally independent and tons of fun to play, and his design was fantastic. Easily my favorite char in that game in all regards

    If your dps is bad, you runs will be slow, but they'll succeed.

      >If your tank is bad, your runs will be slow, but they'll succeed.
      Not in FFXIV. If the tank fails, everyone fails. Because you as the healer will eventually run out of MP. You of course get the blame. But the problem was the tank. DPS does what you said though. You can lose a DPS player and still make it through. It'll just be slower. Lose the tank or the healer, you lose.

      This is only considering 4 man of course. If you're doing the clusterfrick 8-12 man fights, you can lose multiple people. And healing is a lot more lenient.

          In the first half of them, maybe. If your tank is properly geared. But if they are, they won't be doing those dungeons anyway. Most people doing those dungeons are newbs who can't play. They definitely need a healer to pick up the slack. Then in later dungeons, there's usually a mechanic somewhere that the healer has to clear. Like debuffs or poison or whatever.

    I don't know how it works in other games. But I like classes that are about balancing efficiency and utility. Healers and DPS do that in FF14. WHM especially is about balancing the amount of MP you use. You don't just heal mindlessly to keep everyone at full since you need to conserve MP. In case the tank or DPS does something stupid (which they often do). Then, if you're in a group that actually knows what they're doing, you can start adding some DPS of your own. Some tanks and DPS are so bad, I can out DPS them while also keeping the healing going.

    Healing in dungeons in WoW is difficult and you get instant queues so it's fun for a while. If i want to be brain dead I queue as dps. If you know how to heal a dungeon you know how to navigate it and know what abilities you pop cooldowns for. Every skillset flows downwind from healing, and everything else takes less IQ.

          A tank with dps can theoretically do this if they are good enough or have invincibility. The healer just helps them out, by providing support and sustenance, since on his own he could never win. Men are protectors, while women make food. You are the woman in this relationship

        You are fricking moronic Black person. Actual work is exactly what healers do.

    MMORPGs in general are braindead games. DPS just spam their optimal skill rotations against braindead enemies, healers just keep HP bars high and tanks just manage aggro.

    Why would any self-respecting, rational straight man play MMORPGs? No reason. A genre for sheep.

    if you never played healer in WoW you should give it a try
    it's a completely different game, very fun, especially if you're somewhat bored

    in the last 5 years I mained all roles; mpds, rdps, healer, tank; now going back to mdps

    If they're healers are rare in the game you're playing, you get to have quick queues and high winrates. Otherwise dps or tank is generally more fun.

    Healer is a big dick class. DPS is for wienerlets who afraid of responsibility and can be easily replaced.

    >Why would any straight man play a healer?
    far lower queue times, less gear competition, and everyone blames the DPS if we fail. playing healer is pure efficiency.

    The guild wars 1 healing system was good since you're deckbuilding with a team to counter enemy stuff and the healing had a bunch of ways to counter pressure, burst(spike), hexes and conditions layered on like cake and having to decide if its worth removing something. always was fun trying to keep everyone's bars up while also weaving in movement and kiting.

    I can see why you might look down on heal bawds though when most modern games are just DPS very hard and make health number go up and 99% of content is braindead easy
