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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Boom, a non-braindead healer that could actually be considered an alpha choice in the hands of a good player

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.
