What is with the stereotype that healing is a beta's role? Outside of the healslut meme for fetishists, the role of a healer within the group is one of leadership.
Tanks are seen as leaders due to the simple fact that they are the ones to lead the charge, but outside of the moment of engagement their role is the simplest in the group:hold aggro, move as needed, tank swap, repeat. The role of DPS slightly above the tank's in difficulty due to complex rotations or priority systems, but is the primary source of conflict in relation to who is topping the charts. It requires a knowledge of the class and encounter mechanics, but is always the "filler" role once the key spots have been filled.
Next comes the now near-extinct role of pure support classes such as Bards whose role has been merged into the healer role in most MMOs and RPGs. The support role is there to bring out the best in it's raid members by enhancing their abilities past what they are normally capable of. It requires a knowledge of all other roles and mechanics in order to optimize the performance of as many people as possible as consistently as possible. Finally using the support point of bringing out the best in others we come to the role of the healer. The healer role by far bears the hardest burden within the group, being the one role that determines whether the encounter ends in victory or defeat. The role of the healer requires not only complete awareness of their surroundings but the knowledge of all possible defensive abilities other classes possess in order to properly triage during healing intense phases. This in turn makes the ability to make split-second decisions an absolute must for any healer. The role of a healer often puts the player in the duty of 2-3 simultaneous roles (healing/support/dps) compared to any other spot. The responsibilities of this role along with it's ability to bring out the best in it's allies firmly cements the healer role within a K-selected classification.

I used to be aresto shamanback then when raiding atwarlords of draenorfor the sole reason that I wouldnt trust other players on such a critical role. With myself being one of the 3 healers, there was way less chances of failing,

>>378051102
He stalked me for years on 4chan and eventually he got the courage to talk to me and play with me.
He was really bad but I taught him how to get good and we became good friends.
Eventually he confessed to me, but it was okay because I always liked him anyway and we ended up a couple.
Now he healsluts for me in every game where it's possible and we have lots of lovely fun together.
>>378051253

Damn, I guess I have to find a 4chan stalker then.
>>378051479
He says he recognized my posting style and he kept tabs on my image filenames. He stalked me across various boards for a long time until he found me posting a link to my stream, he started following me and one day in the stream chat he asked if he could play with me, so I added him to friends and it all began there.
I think it's cute that he had a crush on me for so long and he ended up with me.
>>378051507
We are pretty fucking gay. But it's okay because our love is sincere.
>>378051479
He was propably talking about his subreddit.

>>378052373
I had some dumbfuck Heavy in TF2 basically get himself killed and he complained that it was my fault for not being glued to his ass.
I stopped healing him and at some point he tried a vote kick, saying I wasn't healing, when everyone else was getting great service. The kick didn't work of course.
He got cucked to death.
>>378052373
>Wah someone was mean to me on the internet!
Maybe if you weren't a shit healer people wouldn't be questioning your healing.

But you never mentioned their performance. You just said if anyone at any time in any role questioned YOUR performance, even if it was clearly poor, you would stop healing them, possibly causing their death even in a simple accident or due to someone else fuck up when it comes to handling threat.

Imagine being so pathetic you play as a submissive, obedient healer, always listening to what the stronger men in the group say.
How disgusting.
>>378054015
Who are you quoting?
>>378043816
It goes Tank>Healer>>>[POWER GAP]>>>DPS
If you think tanks are simple, you must play kusoge shit like XIV. Healers have it extremely easy because they always know what to do, unlike DPS, their role is reactive. "Big damage boss ability coming out?" better shield.prep a big-dick heal. There's no guess work or complexity. It's also easier than tanking because healers are ALWAY ranged which means they can subver t a ton of mechanics due to distance alone.
>>378053629
I heal approximately 2.6 dicks hourly.
>>378052821
This is why healers need to know their place. I miss FFXI where you could dump all the monster hate on the healer and laugh when he asks for an R3 because he was being a whiny shitter.

I'm sorry, I can't do it. I just can't. I've just done it for way too long, I can't ignore this simple shit. Maybe I'm OCD, maybe I'm autistic, maybe I'm just a stickler for the small shit or a perfectionist or whatever, but I can't take these "experienced" players and their pisspoor performance. At least if it's someone learning the game or role I can understand since you can visibly notice them try and catch on to shit as you progress but I just can't let other people Tank for me. I can't do it.
>>378052821
Post the lewd version.
>>378056336
I played as a healer with a submissive tank and I fucked his ass all the time
>>378047314
This so much.
Whenever I get into a dungeon with DPS, there's always a fuckup from either the tank or the healer.
But become either of those two and presto! Many of the runs I do with groups go perfectly well because I know how to play my role so that the shit doesn't hit the fan.
>>378056337
thats why healers are mostly dumb woman/man
healing is incredible relaxing if you dont realize that the dmg is coming from stupidity
as soon as you realize that your job could be so much easier if your group wasnt shit it becomes unenjoyable

It's like that for every role once you branch out.
>>378043816
all healers are women or gay men, there's no exceptions.
>>378057080
Not true, I'm a heterosexual brainlet who picks healer
>>378052821
healing is the absolute worst role in any game. There is rarely a game where you can be a healer and actually do something fun.
>>378056337
>tfw tank gone any other class
I can't do it either. Id like to level more jobs but yeah. Watching other tanks stresses me out unless it's one of my in game friends that knows what they are doing.

No, healers are for sluts and gays.

>>378057080
I miss the days when the healing role was something that each individual took care of for themselves, usually by means of having an inventory of potions and medkits or some low-tier healing skills, and any more dedicated healing types were versatile mages who could do more than just heal.
This rigid trinity bullshit just creates friction between classes.
>>378057725
I hate how certain fun classes get shafted or made "unviable" because they can't pull one of the 3 roles at 100% percent like other designated classes that everyone plays, makes finding a party a pain in the ass
How to make a fun healer:
>make some sickass paladin or vampire dude
>give him really good DPS potential at a high skill ceiling
>make him fragile as fuck
>hitting combos or hard to land shot heals him/his team
>getting self-healed from his combos and shit at full health gives him buffs
Boom, a non-braindead healer that could actually be considered an alpha choice in the hands of a good player
>Healing
>No mention for Mercy
>here i go

Come the fuck on now and be honest, there is no shame in wanting to fuck someone so don't sugarcoat it with all this sentimental shit.
>>378056337
This is how literally every skill in existence works. I've been rock climbing for a long time now, and I cringe a little when I watch people go on a gym wall that are making mistakes I perceive to be super obvious. However, they're perfectly good climbers. It's the same with musicians hearing when somebody playing their instrument fucks up, but manages to conceal it well. They still notice it even when most others don't.
With MMO roles, you really have to have played a role before you can effectively critique someone's performance beyond only the most obvious level.
