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 and Engineers 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 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.

It comes from the ideal nuclear family unit.

> Tanks are masculine and powerful. They go fist into the fight and maintains the enemies aggression. They take the hits. They control the fight. If they are strong enough, the party survives.

> DPS; Buffs/Debuffs are like kids. Doing damage. Sometimes unfocused. Debuffs can feel like pranks. Offtanks can come off like the oldest son, second-in-command.

> Healing is more nurturing, supportive. Motherly. Like a wife waiting with the kids with a hot meal to give you strength.

If you notice, most successful Tanks come from healthy backgrounds. DPS come from single mother households while Healsluts come from single fathers.

You sound like you have 8 ounces of semen in your stomach. It can be either the most mind numbing role or the most intense depending on the situation. It is by far the most trollish role you can play in PvP settings as nothing pisses off the faggot on the other team more than denying them their kill. Not only do you sound like you have cum in your belly, you sound like the typical rogue/thief dps who knows fuck all about anything else.

I play a healer in FFXIV. And they aren't leaders. The sad fact is they basically just follow the tank around and heal them, randomly healing any DPS who can't dodge as needed. If the tank sucks, then the healer can start directing people and 'take command'. I've done it many times. But the way the game is set up, the tank is suppose to take command and basically do everything except limit break.

Outside of trinity based MMOs, the healer gets put into the role of the subservient because so many RPGs make the secondary female into that. Look at Final Fantasy IV for example. Rosa is the epitome of what most people think a healer is. Of course most people are idiots and also don't recognize that Rosa was the best character in the game. She was a voice of reason in a story full of prideful, idiotic men who all wanted to kill themselves.

Tanking is clearly a paternal role, you are the first to confront threats, you are expected to protect your party members, and you are most likely to die.

Healing is a maternal role. You take care of and support party member. You are also protected at all costs like a woman, where as other roles are kind of expendable like a man.

You have that completely backwards dude. If you can't tank or heal, you play mindless DPS. I love my LCR and BRD, but come on. Hitting the same three combos and avoiding the bubbles aren't hard. Trying to keep 10 other people alive when the other healer stupidly falls off the ledge takes skill.
>>
>>383959354
It's simple. The healer/support HAS to follow what the tank/dps/whatever are doing. The dps or tank or whoever aren't supports are intended to take damage so they'll always be in the front leading the charge, but healers and supports are not meant to take damage so they sit in the back and follow what the rest do.

What? But nothing pisses me off the people who pick a job and don't want to do it. All other roles complain but only the worst refuse to play but it seems every other healer will stop playing to get Thier way since thier role has the most apparent effect on the party. If you do not have that urge to buff people without buffs even while randomly adventuring or that urge to keep everyone alive and give as much damage or support as you possibly can then fuck off to another role. This makes me hate other healers more than anything else.

Healers are gods among men with the power to decide who lives and who dies. Healsluts are just unwell fags who flock to the role because they mistakenly equate "healer" to being a stereotypical pop culture nurse.

Ironically, actual nurses need to be in decent shape and have no-bullshit attitudes so they can deal with psychotic patients. The cowardly, limp-wristed ones wash right the fuck out.

Why are healers always so delusional? Your job is piss outside of pvp. I always find it hilarious when they try to compare their role to actual fucking doctors or supporters.

Go into a dungeon with me. I'll let you kill yourself three times and make a joke out of it. But I'll never mock you or tell you what's wrong. I'll only speak up when you start blaming the healer (me). Then I'll tell you all the stupid shit you're doing wrong, point by point.

99% of the time, it's the tank who can't hold threat. 1% of the time its a DPS who doesn't get an add or avoids an AOE.

In a typical relationship, one person is dominant and the other is submissive. This isn't always as extreme as literal dominant and submissive. Just one side is usually more outgoing and vocal than the other.

Society generalizes the women as usually being the submissive one. Though media is trying to make people believe that all women have to be butch dykes who break down men.

There was an incident that did help spark it, but 95% of people forgot it.

Some big game site did a huge poll about LGBTBBQ's and gaming.

The poll showed every average results except for 1 thing, which was linked all over 4chan for giggles.

Almost half the healers were men. 60%+ of those men were homosexual or bisexual. something else high like 70-80% of them described themselves as submissives/bottoms during sex.

So everyone began to meme healsluts, surprisingly, healsluts really did show up to threads and offered to BE healsluts in various MMO's. Threads began getting locked all the time. Soon it was just a meme that stuck around and has never left.

I believe its true because I play a buncha mmo and I know a lot of fag/trap healers. Especially on FF14.

>tanks are always the ones screwing up
>must be because the healer isn't healing enough!
Tanks are dying because they run ahead of the group and pull 12 guys while out of range of the healer. Or sit there and take all the hits like a dumbass, causing the healer to have to waste tons of MP to keep their health up. The healer runs out of MP, then the party wipes. Or tanks who don't even hold aggro and all the enemies rush the healer. Or the tanks who consistently switch to attack an enemy the DPS isn't attacking.

There are a million ways the tanks can screw up. There's a very limited number of ways the healer can screw up.

>Healing is boring/easy/forced to rely on others.

I realize that other games are different, but I played FFXI back in the for a short while and ended up joining a couple of old friends to try a private server (half the shit isn't working, but fuck it, it's cool) with x4 exp so that we can enjoy leveling back up whatever jobs we want without dedicating our whole lives to it (the completely unnecessary time sink is why I've never bothered with any other MMO). I decided to main Red Mage because it's what I played back in the day/Red Mages kick ass. It left my other two buddies to play roles where they can each manage tanking and melee dps between them.

I've got to tell you, /v/, our new meta with an accelerated exp server and just the three of us instead of a party of six is pretty much:

>Me casting a couple dozen spells every single battle to debuff, making sure everyone's buff cycle is up based on the timers on every spell with every party member, having to delicately balance how much hate I'm drawing with how badly someone needs to be healed, positioning myself to avoid mob-specific AoE/cone/stare attacks, being aware of potentially party-wiping contingencies like attracting blood aggro or magic aggro dependent on unique areas, having to make sure my idiot teammates don't run off into danger before they get even the most basic protect/shell buffs, knowing which spells are more/less likely to be resisted based on elemental weaknesses for every mob, and on top of everything, keeping my MP high enough to keep it all up.

>The two other members just auto-attacking, using weapon skills, maybe a handful of situation-specific job abilities.

Obviously other games are not the same, but I'm going to go ahead and say "healslut" is a bullshit word for fetishists to use, no different from the retarded new mentalities behind words like "cuck" and "alpha." I hadn't even heard it until maybe it was applied to Overwatch/pocket Mercies.

We need a monk type class where punching party members heals them. Then you can reverse the healing skill and punching an enemy drains their life.

If I ever designed an MMO, I would do away with a dedicated healer role entirely. In its place, I would have each class type instead have unique ways to regenerate health during the fight, from basic passive regen, to lifesteal, to consumables on a cooldown, etc. Fights would deal much lower damage, and everyone would have to attempt to mitigate as much as possible by avoiding attacks, shunting aggro, and soaking on occasion.

I prefer games where there is no dedicated class for anything. Everyone is an attacker but has a sub-spec into their special roles; DPS, tanking, healing or buffing and what not. Passive, hotkey-management based MMOs seem to not be that way most of the time while more active games like shooter or brawler MMOs tend to do this better.

They make good offtanks or main-melee DPS depending on the raids. Skirt-around and collect scrap mobs for someone to AOE or take out a secondary. Catch Big Baddies attention if the MT get's out of rotation.
>>
>>383966305
He did. He justified it because samurai offers only a handful of already standard support abilities to the raid.

Every other DPS has some bigger things for support, even Dragoon has AOE critbuffs for people.

Monk was designed like this a long time but its dmg just didn't shove it far enough ahead to be "worth it" compared to DPS who also buffed other DPS.

Samurai does such insanely bigdick DPS that a lot of raiders admit support from it isn't needed. Its already in the top parsing teams of fflogs constantly. Almost every team has 1 token samurai to buttfuck whatever they are fighting.

Aside from that, training dummies were released that all had different HP for the diff classes they were assigned to. With samurai very obviously classed on top. This inadvertently gave everyone an "order" of ranking for the diff DPS, tanks, healers. Samurai and Black Mage are way on top of everyone else.

>>383966207
Very, very rarely do you see a non-tank as a leader to something. In the cases I've seen it happen, we had a guy who traditionally tanked for us for many years but eventually became a ranged DPS guy instead, and still basically lead everything for everyone just because the next tank in line never really stepped up. I've also seen a brother duo where the older brother played a grizzled priest healer and the younger one by several years tanked for him, but due to their real life dynamic, the younger always looked up to the older for guidance (And the reason he healed anyway was to have his brother assume a more glamorous role than a support one).
>>

>>
>>383967064
I always found it interesting that leadership was different in Final Fantasy XIV compared to WoW. Back in my WoW days, all of the raid groups I joined had the MT leading the group, while a lot of the raid groups I've joined in XIV have been pretty diverse. I've seen healers leading, I've seen OTs leading, I've seen ranged or melee DPS or even casters leading.

The fact that women often play healers shows that they're not really intense roles under most circumstances.

Women are not competitive, quick, etc. Healing roles are suited for them.

My main complaint with the trinity is that it forces specialization to an absurd degree. If someone shows up as a healer, only the strength of their heals are really taken into account, all other utility is at worst ignored and at best taken as icing on the cake.

I miss the most when I was running around in Shadowbane as a Confessor with heals and massive fire damage. It was missing a lot of things other healers had, but it was still useful for keeping people up in a pinch.

Change away from the trinity system would be a good start. It's pointless in FFXIV anyway since outside of dungeons, every class can do anything. The only reason FFXIV needs tanks at all is because in dungeons/events, they crank up the HP and damage. In the PvE story events, a healer is essentially a tank. Might as well just go the ARPG path where you can level any class to be any role.

You'd probably like the healer dynamic in XIV then. At end-game, healers are expected to DPS on top of their primary role as healer, and your worth is measured by how much you can balance the two aspects of your role.

Because you responded to my point that MMOs should move away from the trinity system. If anyone lacks understanding, it's you.

Also, fun fact, WoW is technically a Diablo clone. It just added in the trinity system. And many MMOs before Everquest/WoW didn't use the trinity system either. There's nothing to say that could go back the other way.

What's it like knowing that if potions didn't have cool downs no one would bring you along?

This and everyones reaction to it remind me of my fav method of trolling an mmo.

I usually post a "tutorial" on how to detect traps in an mmo on shout/trade chat. People always lose their shit when I reach no.8

>Aside from all that, you can also tell by personality. If the female character seems open, friendly, and chipper they are almost certainly a man. A female player will be histrionic, or incredibly lazy and quiet and expect things done for them.

The first four are basics. Slutty makeup and clashing makeup/neon hair or neon tipped hair. Name is some female anime character or a japanese name on a character that isn't japanese-ish at all. On ff14 playing female au'ra is an automatic 75% chance of being male. If their glamours/fashions are 99% slutty no matter what outfit they wear also chance of a man. Mic refusal/refusal to share various stuff also probably a man (duh).

I know real women who play and the number one thing I notice is they use less makeup than the men and are more prone to using earthen tones for hair unless they are making a particularly "fantastical" mmo char like riders of icarus or something you might see some pink hairs there.

I also know at least one woman who purposely makes her female chars as boring as possible to not be harassed, because she wants to play a girl but still stealth. So her char is always brown haired, brown eyed, makeupless, and dressed like a fucking clown.

I think FFXIV demonstrated to me the most jarring contrast in eastern and western development. Western does everything in their power to try and balance things and this is obviously a doomed venture while Eastern developers don't give one flying fuck about balance.

>>383971387
I can somewhat testify this. In all my experience dealing with women they always tend to respond in short answers or with a lot of ":)" faces for some reason.

There was also this one type of women i encountered rarely that usually has this "I don't give a fuck" edgy attitude and pretend they have no emotions or something. Most of the time they complain about unwanted male attention.

newfags, whether here on 4chan or normies, will never know the love of Everquest Enchanter/Bards, FF11's Bard/Corsair/Red Mage, and various other pre-WoW mmos support/debuff/buffer dedicated classes.

They just have no role in today's games because shit like levitation, long term faster run speed, and shit ruin "balance", even if the game doesn't have or care about pvp.

I heavily blame alot of pvpers for the whole balance attitude in the first place.

>>383972062

What are you talking about? FFXIV is an example of a developer trying so hard to balance everything that you can play any class and do anything. Even in some instances where a SCH is going to be better than a WHM for aoe heals, they still make it easy enough that a WHM can do it if they have even basic skill. Same for tanks and DPS.

Summoner can only heal well enough to maybe keep itself from dying. Its a DPS through and through.

Uniquely, SMN and SCH share the same class: Arcanist. Only they are like this. Its like a failed effort on SE's part to tie multiple jobs to 1 class at start of ARR.

So if you are say, 40 SMN. You are also automatically 40 SCH. You can swap to it at any time as long as you flagged it so that you're just able to be it. You'll be both of them at max level just by raising 1 of them. If you're fucking desperate for Queue, then go as healer. Otherwise be DPS fagget rest of time.

>Can Summoner heal?
Yes and no. Summoner itself is a DPS job, but it shares a base class with Scholar, so by levelling one the other will be levelled up alongside it automatically, and you can switch between them at any time.

Up to you if you want to go for Scholar or try the other healers. A balance patch is planned in just a few days, so any advice given here could become outdated very quickly.

>one of leadership
Absolutely not. A healer can lead the group by telling everyone how to do their jobs, but healing roles have the least free agency of any other. You're constantly reacting to what's happening in the battle, and have very little control over the situation besides keeping it stable. Whatever role takes point, which is almost always going to be your traditional tank, is going to be the de facto leader in terms of battle flow.

DPS refusing to AOE has frusturated me more than anything else in SB. I dunno what the fuck happened to all these niggers to make them stop.

Its gotten so bad I type up a big sentence about how to AOE, then I wait to lead in, glancing at their jobs. I then immediately describe the AOE abilities for the 2 DPS present and let them know this is an AOE team.

Me and tank buddy will run in and be staring at their attacks. We give 1 warning. If they still refuse to aoe on next pull we kick them.

Single targeting on 6-10 mob pulls is just absolute bullshit.

L-looking at hp bars is haaard though. Seriously fuck these other healers if only you guys knew how many healers don't use focus target and just slowly react to damage. As a sch I would shield and deploy the target of the stack marker in lakex or deploy a crit shield at the start to negate the first aoe and slow ass white mage healsluts would medica 2 scratch damage. Once I figured out how much healers make or break these ex fights I leveled my sch and the same day I got my book and right side done in like a few hours while I had nothing on tank.

All roles can be leaders. meme stereotypes are just that meme stereotypes. For every instance of it being confirmed there's an instance of it being disproved. I think that male healers being seen as beta is a culture thing in cultures where males are supposed to be aggressors. And if yo're a healslut you're supposed to be passive.

No. No. NO.

You get more hate from tank stance+hate combo than from DPS stance and dmg. In fact you'd get more than if you were an actual DPS.
