Heal Brats annoy me.
The problem is that they exist to be the antithesis to the healslut mentality, and I understand that, but the fact of the matter is that in any situation in which something is killing The Tank, it's inevitable that the same thing murdering them can absolutely kill The Healer just as easy.
>>
>>52543045
The issue is it comes from an MMO mentality born of the modern MMO where if everyone does their job right the healer doesn't have to stress much at all, just sitting back and pushing buttons when a think starts to blink yellow or maybe red.

In TTRPGs I have yet to see either of these mentalities actually come up, especially given the amount of people who learn healers from D&D where you're a tough mother fucker in armor and wielding a hammer.

That makes some more sense.
I'm a 3.5 Fag so I've never been too experienced with other systems too often, but it's always seemed like my groups never even had healers and often enough healing would be a thing we did in town.

Also it's sorta sad that the inability to instantly heal makes doctors a non-viable occupation in fantasy adventure parties.

So what's your healing generally boil down to?
For my current party, it's a rogue with a Wand of Lesser Vigor who actively rolls initiative and starts making intimidate checks if a caster tries to spend slotson out-of-combat healing.

We sometimes had sorcerers that could pull of minor healing spells, but ultimately we ended out going back to the local town and just dumping our asses off at the church.

We became friends with a fat priest there that was strangely Italian and fed us a whole lot while we got heals. He was hurt in a demon break in once and we had a barbarian and two fighters carrying him out while he blasted spells like the glorious bastard he was.

>I'm a 3.5 Fag so I've never been too experienced with other systems too often, but it's always seemed like my groups never even had healers and often enough healing would be a thing we did in town.

That's mainly due to character survivability in D&D being based around not being hit rather than how many hits can be survived.
>>
>>52543045
Like >>52543089 Said, it comes mostly from MMOs, but it's slightly inaccurate. Depending on the game, the healer's job can still be hard even when no one's fucking up. The problem is that 90% of MMO players are fucking retards who can either not follow simple instructions or don't care about anything except how big their numbers are. The OP image is literally me. I started as the first, and ended as the second, because that's just what it does to you.

I'm so glad healers in tabletops don't have to deal with that. Most of the time.

Can't "healers" and "tanks" just have a mutually respectful professional relationship or even friendship?
>>
>>52544152
No, the healer will just forget about the previous tank as soon as a new tank comes along.

If for some reason the party needs two tanks, they healer will service both.
>>
Tanks and healers are supposed to have mutually beneficial relationships.
MMOs however ruin this because every healer is a salty shitfuck, and the tanks get no communication from the asshats that are supposed to be behind them.
If tank doesn't protect healer, he gets no heals.
If healer doesn't heal tank, she gets gangbanged by every even slightly intelligent enemy ever.

Honestly, I feel FF14 does healers right. White Mage has your standard healing spells and regens, but you get some pretty potent attacking spells too and fucking Holy, which is one of the best AOE spells in the game.

Of course, you can still just sit back like a bitch when everything's going well and not do a thing, but that's just boring when you can throw around rocks and nuke entire groups of enemies while everyone's healed up.

>especially given the amount of people who learn healers from D&D where you're a tough mother fucker in armor and wielding a hammer
And they're the best kind of healers. Having the physical strength to wield heavy-ass armor and weapons, the wisdom to wield and understand the powers of the gods, and using both to protect, heal, and destroy at will.
>>
>>52543045
I dunno, to me healing is a challenge, especially in MMORPGs. I always do my best without even considering whether he group is being smart or not, because it's fun in its own way when it gets hectic. Why be passive aggressive about a group's dumbassery if you have the power to fix their mistakes, anyway?

Because if you can fix their mistake without any consequence then the mechanic involved is trivial and no one really cares anyway. On the flip side you can fix their mistake, but now you risk running out mana or you're falling behind on keeping someone else up or so on. Now you are edging closer to a wipe that could have been avoid if people had just paid attention.

I play healer/support in most things. I find that when people know a healer is near, they take a lot of unnecessary damage expecting the healer to keep them up, which is tough when most of a group does it.

Also, healers are usually the first to be blamed when shit goes sideways and things go wrong (regardless of weather the healer had anything to do with it or not)

Most people either get salty as fuck or stop healing, in my experience.

Roleplayers and Heal brats are bad at the game, good healers are usually stuck playing babysitter more than healer in most games I've played in. I love the support role, I try to keep everyone topped off at all times, and if the tanks doing his job I'll have his back from the backline and keep and an eye on the dps.

That's generally been my experience as a tank in MMOs. The healer is my buddy and I trust him to do his job while I get on with mine. My main thing has been telling the DPS not to run on ahead of me or stand in the cleave zone in what I presume is misplaced solidarity. Being up front with "OK, guys, where do you want me to pin this thing?" has had pretty good results. The others tell me where to stand, I go and begin drowning the boss with my blood, and we all do our jobs. I've died like three times total in 50 levels of FFXIV as a result, and I roll exclusively with pick-up groups.

I tend to take the support role in tabletop games since I don't need to have reflexes for that, but I've always found D&D support characters to be more of a "right behind you, bro!" play experience than the healslut or healbrat stereotypes.

I can't let the useful teammates die just to focus my heals on the insipid cunt who stands in the "you-die" mechanic.
Maybe don't be retarded while expecting daddy-healbux to bail you out of every retarded thing you do. It's not a matter of "just heal faster". If I waste my time pumping life into the idiot who's killing himself then everyone loses.

tl;dr: If you're an obstacle rather than an asset, you're not getting healed.

How so?
From what I've seen it's the people who hate the healslut character type who seem to freak out and start throwing insults around, I don't think I've ever seen someone prohealslut even respond in kind

A character doesn't have to be sexual to be a fetishistic nuisance. I've had many bad encounters with fuckwits who couldn't stop the one-note subfuckery long enough to handle basic communication. When the team leader asks "Do you have enough time for another raid?", the answer is sure as hell not six lines of stuttering text about trying hard and being punished.
I'm sure I've also had healers who were functioning human beings with healsluttery as a hobby, but no way I'd know.

I'd like to think so, still fairly new at playing but none of the other PCs ever died on my watch even if the dice seem to hate me, well other than the one time I was ganked in the first round by a hidden orc, that ended in a TPK (against 1/2 CR orcs) but the DM went with the ol' "you're captured not killed" routine

>>52548854
Stuttering is for if/when the bullying starts, unless you phrase it something along the lines of "Hey bitch you're going on a raid with me", you're just going to get a "Sure" or "Sorry" from me

It is totally viable in the right systems. In DSA, Wundarzt ist a "class", albeit there is still magical healing...there just aren't a lot of mages to go around. In Earthdawn, there is hardly any instant healing, except for Bloodshare-stuff and fireblood, so you damn well better know how to stitch up your companions, or you're all fucked even if you survive that horror that rips you twenty-five new assholes.

>>52543045
Both of these things are mostly prominent in MMOs etc; where failure means that you have to respawn. Usually this will only put you back a couple of minutes of walking. (Unless we're talking old school MMOs where you might lose gear, XP, or have to do the (instance) all over again).

In PnP, healers can have all sorts of different personalities. I could definitely imagine a healer being annoyed with the rest of the party for putting themselves in unnecessary danger.
But I agree; refusing to heal them in an encounter would be putting yourself at risk; and being a tremendous douche IC and OOC.
>>
>>52543045
If at any point you stop doing your job in an attempt to punish someone, you've become part of the problem. Even if the rogue pulls, you should try to keep him alive to save time. If it's a recurrent issue, just kick him.

I never really got the "healslut" thing. It doesn't match any of the other healers that I played with when I played WoW, and dedicated healers don't really exist in most TTRPG's.

>Healers get treated like shit most of the time. They either puss out or man up. Don't be a faggot and berate the nonpussy lifegivers.

People keep saying this, but having healed since vanilla and on to Legion, people today are fucking nice. I was surprised when people in healing guides on YT kept mentioning how thankless healing was and unappreciated it makes people feel. I honestly can't pick a moment in recent memory where people have bitched at me over my healing. Then again, if it's a shitshow I just fuck off instead of wasting my time. Well either people got nicer or I just stopped giving a fuck.

I quit right around the start of WotLK, and the handful of times that I've come back, it just blows me away how little interaction you actually have with parties and raids. Cross Server group queues absolutely gutted the social aspect of the MMO.

Sure, spending thirty minutes looking for a tank could suck, but it gave everyone in the group a vested interest in not fucking up. I fondly remember literally /who'ing every tank-capable class in my level bracket to whisper and ask if the wanted to run XXX dungeon, and saying fuck it, let's give this slightly overleveled Ret paladin a shot.

I actually think the opposite would happen.

You have the power to make any injury disappear with minimal consequence?

That bitch is going to get fucked up by that power, and it's not going to be similar to an EMT. It's ging to be axe crazy.

It's why my clerics are all batshit, usually covered in at least mail, and wield the biggest thing they can. Sure they can heal to the ends, no one goes down on my watch, but i'm also going to smash the ever living fuck out of that goblin, right there, while creaming my gods name.

Being an EMT is having skill ranks in heal, being a healer is being a magic wizard doctor. You'll be giddy/axecrazy by the end of the week.

It's a lot of the reason I honestly prefer HOTS. Because the game has a lot less focus on carries and last hitting, there is a lot less 'You are fucking things up for the team' if the support actually does damage or gets the kill. I prefer it's 'Takedown' (Assist or Kill) system to a focus on kills for the team getting improved.

Actually, yes it does get less traumatizing. What's traumatizing about a chopped limb when I can simply reattach it in moments? A nasty piercing wound would be no problem either. Wounds would be inconsequential because of how easily you can fix them, and therefore not at all traumatizing.

Dear Diary,
I am a brave warrior, I gladly take the hits for my allies when needed, I daresay I was born to be a strong tank. But I'm not strong enough for this.
We recently met a priest who agreed to come along and heal us as we fought, they're a capable healer, don't misunderstand me, but I'm getting more exhausted, I don't think I can keep up with them.
They just won't stop sexually assaulting me, at first I enjoyed it, a companion I could depend on and fuck sounds like a dream, but their cocklust is greater than I could've imagined,
Every morning before breakfast, whenever we stop for a rest, when we settle down for the night, even straight after a fight, they just won't stop sucking my dick, or riding me. I don't even have time to clean up after fights, I swear being covered in blood just turns them on even more.
I'm at the end of my rope, I just can't carry on with this deviant monster, but I'm scared how they would violate me if I told them to leave.
I don't know what the future holds, but my past will forever be scarred with that cockloving sluts name... OP.
>>
Why is everyone in this thread so fucking salty?

Some people just want to live out their fantasies, let them. The post-industrial erosion of gender roles left some people craving the good old "protective dom"-"supportive sub" couple dynamic, which is quickly becoming less of a default and more of a niche fetish. So it's no surprise these people flock to games where the game mechanic itself provides for such dynamics.

And then of course there are men, curious about certain things, and getting the opportunity to try them out without worrying about being judged or being "passable enough".

So, live and let live, it's like you forgot the days where tabletop gaming and vidya themselves were frowned upon by society at large.

>>
>>52545381
Yeah, in real life healers tend to be so good at murder we have to take an oath to do no harm.

We literally know every single vital point on your body. We're experts in poison, as well - knowing how to heal poison means understanding how it works. We know precisely how to turn all kinds of harmless drugs into lethal ones with the right dose. We know how to conduct biological warfare as well, and any doctor that really wanted to has the knowledge to effortlessly start an epidemic. Some of the most successful serial killers and mass murderers in history were in the medical field.

Basically doctors are OP, thank god we're nerfed.

A certain controversy regarding ethics in video games journalism turned into a full blown culture war being fought on our (the nerd's) turf.

>>
>>52552734
That's because being a support in a game like League or DotA is about giving your carry/damage characters kill opportunities and ensuring map control while also keeping your damage dealers relatively safe. Primarily healing/protection-based characters like Soraka or Omniknight (from DotA) don't feel like healers because your role isn't to top up a healthbar, it's to proactively defend your carry.

If you're an MMO player you might click with Taric because he revolves around exerting control over the opponent. He plays like an MMO tank would in a PvP environment. Leona's the same way.

A good healer is like the bitchy healer, but not yet broken and world-weary. I've known some, before the inevitable fall, and there's a phrase you learn

"I can't heal stupid"

It's for those times between the naive healer who thinks they should be able to keep everybody up and the jaded bitch where the least infraction of proper procedure is cause to revoke your living privileges. They tell themselves this to not feel bad when someone dies to an avoidable, rather than healable cause. Then they start telling everyone else.

Not him, but you drink between encounters, not during them. If the encounter is powerful enough to 100->0 your entire party a couple of healing spells aren't going to turn the tide. Restoring hit points to your team is almost always a worse option than using that spell slot to blast an enemy or inflict critical buffs and debuffs.

Combat healing prolongs fights, which can be very bad when your party runs on daily / encounter powers but the enemies are just passively strong or have at-will powers. Better to end fights quicker so they have less of a chance to turn the tide in the long run.

Could it work in-universe?

I mean, sacred prostitution was a thing in several ancient civilizations. Let's say there's an order that practices ritual sex as part of their healing rites. And personal healing/sexual service to an adventurer knight or warrior might be a trial initiate priest(esse)s of that order undergo before advancing to a higher level in the order hierarchy.

Apparently.
I'm guessing it stems from video games rather than /tg/ stuff. I always assumed it came from shit like the JRPG and anime "stereotype" of healers being female and usually the MC's love interest. I guess the stereotype also extends to MMOs, as I've heard "female players always play healer" for a number of years now.

Personally, I prefer being the healer and getting the love interest, rather than the healer being the love interest, but very few video games do this. Only one I can think of is Earthbound. MC is a healer with blunt weapons like a cleric, while the love interest is a mage.

Luckily I have tabletop RPGs to let me do this.

Most typical healer classes in tabletop RPGs usually encourage being physically adept. Clerics in D&D especially. Need strength for war hammers and heavy armor, and constitution for concentration checks and HP. Of course, there's many different builds and ways to play clerics, but that's usually the prototypical cleric.

if you want /tg/ instead of /v/, ignore all that trash up top and get down here.

First thing I said when I saw the pic was where the fuck is their armor. Get the fuck out of my party if you don't show up with at least chainmail and shield. I don't care about your buffs and neither does the DM, in fact he tracks their expiration more closely than you do. And in hardcore games, a fucking helmet, not some Old Mother Hubbard do-rag.

In a tabletop game, brat v slut only makes sense in fluff. In the crunch, it's obvious what needs to be done, you do it, and you move on. People who whine about their healer being walking potions don't understand that this is the joe part of the joe job. Just like the fighter's joe job. He doesn't get to choose to sit at the back and explore his ranged bonuses, he goes up and melees the creeps just to keep them off the less armored guys.

Like any job, you've just got to find the fun side of it. Some healers can have undead minions, and that's where I find my fun. They allow me to kamikaze the enemy line and see how much havok I can wreak with them, if they expire, I just reanimate them or make another. And I've found that the DM enjoys spicing up party classes like this; as long as people do their fucking jobs, he'll allow it. I enjoy using a fighter's great strength to do things normal people aren't able to do, to use stealth classes to go places I'm not wanted.

The last few games I was in, people were crafting ridiculous classes that left all the joe jobs of adventuring to others because they were completely incompetent in all of them (Pathfuckder). No wonder they fell apart after the first fight, one game didn't even get past character creation. Avoiding the joe part of your joe job isn't the answer.

#NotAllMMOHealers are the jaded bitch stereotype.

Ragnarok Online and its successor Tree of Savior is pretty much the D&D Cleric class.

They have ironically poor survivability but can heal others, the largest pool of buff spells and shitty damage.

Until you pick the right gear, enchantments and spell investments, drop your buffs before jumping into the raid - then you're tanking harder than the tank, doing more damage than the DPS and wiping mobs faster than the wizard.

When playing a healer support is usually just take a joy in ruining the opposing teams fun.
>I see you're really trying hard and outplaying that guy
>honestly it's really impressive and I can see you're way better than him
>guess what
>now he got all his health back and basically you're fucked
I have never experience as much unfiltered all chat rage as when playing Soraka.

Then there's Leona, where I just start taking offence to anyone looking at my ADC funny, then I keep taking kills with W or just being the one to actually hunt the enemy down and fuck them up. Also, had a couple of usually Ezreal players just sorta lose all initiative and just glue themselves to me and do exactly as I said. Then I got weirdly flustered when Lucian told me to chill after I chased the enemy ADC half across the map because she killed him. Probably just the way he worded it.

"Leona baby, chill."

This is actually a good picture because people playing support/healer in MMOs and MOBAs have been affected by the "stereotypical bitch" attitude so much that they constantly bitch about how entitled they are because WOE IS ME I PICKED THIS ROLE THAT I DO NOT SEEM TO ENJOY AT ALL WOW I HAVE NO POWER AT ALL I HAVE TO GET CARRIED BY PEOPLE WHO DO DAMAGE WOW THEY ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE ME A SUPPORT MAIN DPS LITERALLY NO BRAINERS

I was a support main up to Diamond in LoL and I honestly just did that because I didn't have the mechanical know-how to properly micro as an AD or AP carry, so I decided to channel everything into map knowledge and minimap-glancing skills from Brood War and work as an opportunity enabler. Sometimes there was a retard and a lot of discussion between them and him, but still, nothing that warranted being like OKAY BITCHES SUCK MY JANNA'S WET CUNT.

I'm leveling a Holy Priest in WOTLK right now and honestly DPSes and tanks are a lot more proactive, they have more CC, more importance to positioning and very often I just tag along and toss a HoT on wounded people and they're no worse for wear.

Healers are entitled cunts.
>>
>>52568879
The problem with DPS and healer supports is that DPS players focus on microcontrol and thus often forget to focus on map awareness and positioning, and thus, overextend and die meaninglessly.
Supports tend to understand map awareness (especially things like vision and positioning) much better, in my experience.
>>
>>52568879
The meme largely comes from brain-dead DPS who stand in 'you die if you're right in this neon orange circle' mechanics and then blame the healer when they mysteriously keel over.

I remember a lot of rogues being particularly bad about this when I was tanking heroics, though my raiding experience is limited.

Well, I was a purdy good Medic back when I bothered with TF2 and everyone got heals, to the greatest extent humanly possible that didn't reduce the amount of heals going around/cripple what we were doing or needed to do just then.

Like, if winning or capping meant getting my throat cut going into the action with a guy so that happened, so be it.

But if that didn't need to happen and it was better for me to help everyone else and not the guy who was gonna die uselessly and get me killed to no positive effect? Fuck that guy. He can get his ass killed on his own.
>>
You know, I've never really experienced poor treatment as a support class in any game, especially as healer, and I almost always main a support role.

I often get thanks and commendations for my support, actually. Maybe it just because I try my best to keep the strongest players on the team alive, so it seems like I'm having a really large impact on the team, when really I'm just getting carried by some tryhard with a 10-1 KD

Your can design a system so healers are more survivable than a tank. Consider tera, where mystics have more mobility than the tank. If the tank fails, the mystic can usually escape.
>>
>>52574059
surely that just disadvantages the tank? a healer that considers cutting and running at any second isn't gonna be as good as one that HAS to keep a tank alive so they can stay alive.

Generally I would agree but I have let someone die to their stupidity before in the past. If I just heal away their stupid mistakes then they'll never improve.

Plus some boss mechanics are easier to do if an idiot is dead.

MMO Healer Triage is a thing.
>>
>>52543139

I prefer when magical healing is a supplement to actual medical knowledge. If the only thing magical healing does is accelerate the body's natural healing processes, it can't fix anything that the body couldn't heal on it's own. A pretty good example is a broken bone - if you don't set it properly, it'll heal all fucked up, and you've just done more harm than good.

It's 3.5 if that makes any difference, though it may have been some deeply house rule, I just ran with it. I should specify he's got insanely basic reading comprehension going by this rule,(dick and Jane levels) but for all intents purposes he can't read anything above 1st grade level books, enough to get by but besides that nope.

Anyway it makes sense in character when you consider the leaders of the cult he was a part of, realizing he was pretty stupid, but touched by their god, pulled him out of schooling and into more paladin-esc training early in his childhood.

That said he turned out smart enough to be a great paladin but too stupid to really be useful to them so they sent him out to spread the word and heal shit in the name of the Sun.

>>52543045
I don't want to be a heal brat, but sometimes it's necessary. I usually play healer since it is basically a management game, sometimes you give the carrot, sometimes it's the stick.

In my playgroup, the DPS kept getting caught in the AoE even though the tank is doing an amazing job, and reviving anyone gives me a ridiculous aggro, which means that I will have to keep running for a solid minute before I have to heal everyone else since no one could do their job properly because the DPS didn't.
