/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I thank the entire group at the conclusion of a dungeon.

That sounds like something Konata from Lucky Suta would say. Are you Konata from Lucky Suta?

Because healers are generally rarer, and so it's nice to get on their good side.

The difference is that a healer can choose to let a teammate die out of spite and still win the round/dungeon/quest/whatever. But if a tank chooses not to tank then the team has a bigger problem. People thank healers to gain their favor.

Doesn't really make sense for the tank to need to thank the healer, that's just business as usual; but if DPS needs healing because they're being fucking retarded and standing in fire or whatnot, then yeah, it makes sense to thank the healer for bothering to heal you instead of letting you die. (or if it's a fight where you can't afford to let a DPS die no matter how much he sucks, then the rest of the party/raid should be thanking the healer for keeping the guy alive despite his best efforts to die).

It is quite simple, healers are the best.

I loved clerics in D&D 3.5. I feel like I'm the only person who enjoyed playing as them, but they were so cool. You were a soldier of the church, not just some old pansy in white robes.

I like helping other people in games because it's a passive role where I can just take it easy. I don't get why people want to be the big bad warrior or the powerful mage. Just being thanked for healing makes me nervous.

If I was transported to some fantasy land and I could be anything, I'd probably be a baker or work in a tavern or something. How cool would it be to serve the food and drink you made to the band of heroes that just slew a dragon?

>it's a passive role where I can just take it easy.
are you fucking kidding me? you have to pay attaention to EVERYONE in the party at ALL TIMES and if you fuck up once its all over

not to mention you have to manage your rotation and your mana and also be aware of where you are so as to not get any aggro by accident.

fuck I was always so scared to try to be a healer in any game. but deep down I always loved to be a kind of healer in games. it is just too stressful and it all hangs in your balance

Healers are special.
Healers can take it easy.

>>11148336
But there's no adrenaline. I'd rather be part of the dragon slaying, since that sounds exciting while baking bread sounds kind of lame. There's just more involved.

Is this the netoge thread? Will anyone be playing RuneScape 3?

I'm looking for someone to roleplay as my friend.

In real wars are there rules of engagement that say soldiers aren't allowed to shoot medics?

That sounds like it would be cool if you were a medic, but I don't get why you would want wounded enemies to get treatment instead of dying.

>>11148352
I agree with this.
Healer is possibly the first one blamed when things go wrong. I find it a lot more stressful than just worrying about what i'm doing

>>11148357
are you crazy? everyone depends on you as a healer. parties are ALWAYS looking for a healer.

it is too fucking stressful to be a healer. Being a healer is the exact opposite of taking it easy

being a tank is taking it easy. All I have to do is just pull the necessary amount of mobs and keep aggro and tank away. I never have to worry about healing myself or others

>>11148359
Runescape? Ew.

Support-type characters normally have much more control over the flow of the battle than any other type of character.
Crowd control, teleports, shields, healing, situation nukes, vision, etc.
Because of this, they also require that their team mates be coordinated so they can be effective, making them natural leaders.

Healers are right up there with tanks in terms of self importance and need for validation. You always thank the healer because on top of being just as much of egomaniac as the tank they wield a much more subversive way to ruin groups (by stopping heals) and they do do it often.

Nothing will hold you back more than a healer who can't get over not getting their way. This is why people are constantly groveling toward healers, they don't want to upset some of the most hair trigger yet passive aggressive ragers of MMOs.

>>11148352
Oh come on it depends on the fights. There is always stuff that will be a joke if a proper spec.

Any WIZARD otaku here? Anyone knows that feel when someone asks you to make a portal/teleport them and they just disappear without ever saying "thanks"?

>>11148377
Well I have never tried to be a healer so I dont know how it all goes down.

I just hate the feeling I get about being responsible for others if I were to mess up somehow.

And I never got how they could just target heal to effectively without misclicking on a mob by accident or something.

My body says I want to be a healer and to help people but my mind says you have to take on a lot of responsibility for your actions if you mess up just a little.

Especially if you try and start out to be a healer. Everyone seems to expect you to know what you are doing and to heal the right person at the right time ;_;

Epic /v/ template thread.

>>11148395
It's pretty easy actually, after a while you learn to see who in the group takes a lot of damage.

Targeting party players can usually be done with hotkeys like F1, F2 and so on.

Healer here.
I thank people when they save my ass by either doing damage to whatever is hitting me or tanking for me, whichever the case.

1. Being a healer is a pain in the ass. If you decide to save the tank instead of a DPS than the DPS bitches at you. If the party wipes it is the healer's fault. People are assholes to the healers.
2.Being a healer can be pretty damn hard when dealing with extremely large mobs. If you misclick a single spell your entire party is fucked.
