Regretting is an insult to oneself
Buglord
Talking is taking time away from looking at ACT and getting pissed that one guy only hit like 70 buttons during an entire dungeon for some reason.



What are you doing guy


Why did you go through all the trouble of launching the game and logging in and queuing for a dungeon to not play


How could you spend almost all of the time not doing anything and not be bored out of your mind

I'm a pretty new, mediocre DPS and I've already got around 200 comms barely saying anything but I do have a hotbar dedicated to emotes and lighting off random fireworks during combos. People like having fun while playing videogames apparently!

Yeah I've gotten a bunch as a newb dragoon, I think it is because I dragonsight the other dps whenever i can. However we did have a great run with no wipes the other day, very efficient, and at the end the tank launched some 10 line macro of a chocobo or something holding a sign that said GIT GUD. We did good :mad:

My comms go to, in order of preference: whoever did something I found extremely amusing, then for good play, then to one of the DPS's as long as at least one of the was not a gently caress up.

As a healer I keep everyone alive and do damage when I can.
As a dps I goad the tank on occasion & make an effort to do optimal damage.
As a tank I keep emnity, group up the enemies and keep them still.
As a player I'm polite, encouraging, and understanding.

I'm not on your server & I don't play in your timezone.

The point of healing the party is that we need them to deal damage in order to kill the boss. Conveniently, we also have a pretty decent damage kit as healers. The goal is to kill the boss, you have to do damage to kill the boss, we can do damage. Simple concept. Whenever we don’t need to be healing, we can and should be doing damage. This is not a debate, it is not a conversation, it is not a suggestion. It is a fact. DPSing isn’t something you start doing when there’s nothing for you to heal. It should be something you stop doing when the fight requires you to heal. There may be times when you legitimately do need to do so much healing that you have almost no opportunities to DPS, but I can promise you that those situations are much rarer than most people think.

The worst part is the one time I ran into someone who specifically said he'd only heal and nothing else I was playing scholar......and the fucker only cast medica on PHANTOM TRAIN. I really couldn't give a gently caress if you only heal. But if you ARE going to only heal then at least do THAT well you incompetent gently caress stick.

For the commendation conversation though.....Generally it goes: Healer that made my job easy, Tank that didn't require me to put in ungodly amounts of effort to keep alive, DPS that did their job well and possibly the tanks job as well, or no one because they all made these 15-45 minutes a living hell.

Push ups when we wipe to an enrage and I need to hit harder. Squats when I die and we wipe to not getting the heck out of the way in time.

That's not fair, you're making ffxi sound like its bloated with useless abilities and unfun mechanics. A NIN could always use mijin gakure to blow themselves up and avoid exp loss on death :v:

Occasionally the launcher deletes your local settings. Hasn't happened to me but it's not unheard of

If I'm doing easy content, yeah. But an extra stone iv per fight in stuff I haven't done before isn't worth the mental tax while I learn the fight. If a tank double pulls first thing in the dungeon I'm paying attention to whether they pop cd's and what their gear is like, who dodges aoes and who doesn't. Those are a lot more important than risking an improperly timed bene that could cause rude people to give you poo poo the rest of the dungeon. In reality I cast a fair bit of aero iii and stone iv, but any fight that's actually interesting I'm likely to be using my other 50 buttons which are more fun. Fortunately WHM has a shield now so I can usually just shield+regen then start doing damage against bosses.

As an aside: how do non-healers do hard pve stuff, like for quests? There's a few fights in Stormblood that were miserable slogs because it was a boss with 750k hp and each stone iv dealt 5k so I was just applying dots & stoning till I felt the need to heal back up, but most dps classes have only 1-2 heals.

I did it before when the version check broke. Its an option in the launcher menu. Not sure how it happened for you automatically though.

My biggest problem with "Honest healers" is they are often loving terrible at it. My bare minimum for competence if tanking is "Healer didn't let me die" and most of the "I don't do dps" shitheads fail that single check.

I mean I can heal most dungeons on sch using nothing but my insta-aetherflow spenders spending the rest of my time chain casting aoe miasma (It does more damage to spam it than let it tick in AOE situations).
