Hello everyone, my name is Xiomaro and welcome to my channel! Have you ever searched for a guide or tutorial only to find someone rambling on for 45 minutes and taking forever to get to the point? Yeah... I hate that, too. And it's the reason why I set up this channel.
I try to deliver information as quickly as I can without skimming over the important stuff. If you're interested in gaming (both on the PC and tabletop) - you've found the right place for guides, news and discussion about the most fun hobby... IN THE WORLD (read that in a Jeremy Clarkson voice).
This only happens because as healers your not in control of your group. As tank, if the DPS are whining. Your not pulling fast enough as they got time to type rather then hitting stuff.
By the way, always give healer a second or two to decide if he wants to recover mana for next pull. There's many different playstrles healers got just like tanks. Experiencing both the tank and healing role is very important so you can understand how your tank or healer flows and thus adapt to the playstyle.
IDK how it is in overwatch, but in MMO's it's usually the healer who takes the blame for everything, can understand them being tired of people, especially DPS
the healers who only ever play heal and think you do a good enough job by standing there casting like a good boi have it so wrong lmao like for wow every single class with healing spec is really flexible and they offer you ways to fight back and survive, but if you only focus on casting heals you're obviously gonna get nicked
My best friend in D2 plays the closest thing to a healer that game has and I have to say I love playing with him. I never stay still long enough to get killed or at least I try not to and we work as an efficient team. I play aggressive but smart so he doesn't pull full aggro and we back up the other. Having a healer who you get on with makes playing so much better.
The healers don't "act like they're better than you by virtue of picking the role", they actually *are* better. The healer is the command tower of the whole party, regulating the battlefield and keeping the entire group alive while also keeping most, if not all, of the utility on them. And not only this is a thankless role while everyone prefers playing DPS in most circumstances, it is also a role where you have more responsibility than everyone else in the team, more even than the tank's. AND the healers are also the primary target for the exact same reason, so that brings their value further up. So the only thing apparent from the video is that you have never played a healer or any kind of support yourself.
I fully disagree that healing is the easiest job. There is no easy job except the one you're doing badly. If you're coasting, you're either being carried or you're OP. Against actually challenging opponents, unless everyone is putting a hell of a lot of effort into doing their respective jobs, the team's not getting anywhere. Tank not doing their job? That's a problem. Healer not doing their job? That's a problem. DPS not doing their job? That's a problem. The thing that sets healing apart is that the ramifications of not doing the job well are immediately apparent. DPS not doing their job means the fight is an absolute slog of a battle of attrition, but that's a relatively slow slide into failure and can easily be blamed on other factors. Healer not doing their job means TPK pretty damn fast and the blame is put squarely on them. The problem a lot of healers run into is that other players not doing their jobs properly means the healer can't do *theirs* properly because you can't outheal stupidity, and then the blame is put on the healers for that. Like sure, DPS stood there taking damage for 3 years with no attempt to dodge, but why wasn't the healer just constantly keeping their health at full???
As healer myself for many years, all i can say is..i notice if you play bad or good...and when is good...i feel like i can cry of joy, but when is bad ? I take it as a challenge to myself.. "if i can keep this idiot archer alive well then, im a beast!!" ❤🎉
the team I play with just falls apart if I am not that healer. yes I know that also says a lot about me, yet none of my other friends are any good as me as a healer / support. I often catch them just standing in the front in a teamfight alone.
Idk if you will reply, or anybody if they can, but at 0:25 what are the skill names you use for the movement there? I ask for skill names because I’m on console sadly…
Healers dont act high and mighty.. it would be dps and tanks who eat every interruptible and standing in swirlies who then bitch about their healer for not being able to do massive levels of corrective healing who are generally high and mighty. Thats why your healers ditch you, you are literally biting your safety net and crying when you fall into the pit of alligators. And considering both tank and healer is the hardest roles ( though i would argue healer is more of a lynchpin class between healer and tank). Generally an OP healer can carry an underleveled tank. An OP tank generally struggles when its an underlevelled healer.
I realize that my experience is anecdotal to just Star Wars Galaxies and Star Wars The Old Republic, but as someone who can fluently play Tank, DPS, and Heals to the most advanced of levels in some of the hardest content I can confidently tell you that healer is 100% the more difficult job. As a tank keeping threat is not hard so long as you rotate your taunts properly. DPS my rotation is very simple and is only needed to be deviated from occasionally to support other mechanics happening within the boss encounter. Healing on the other hand there is no rotation. No heals that can be rotated through to keep max heals on every player. It is a reactionary skillset as well as a force multiplier for the raid. Classes that react to action rather than create the action will always be the most difficult to play. Today as a healer my job might be a breeze and everything goes fine, then tomorrow THE SAME PLAYERS wind up causing me extreme grief because they do not follow mechanics, face the boss the wrong way etc etc etc. I have to be prepared for everything. As far as the phrase "the team NEEDS me"...this is not a phrase used to convey that they are the only profession that matters. What it is conveying is there are a whole lot less of me than there are of you. DPS come a dime a dozen. Healers, especially really great end game qualified healers come along maybe one out of every 10? You as the DPS are easily replaceable. Me as the healer with my skillset probably isn't as easily replaceable.
For fucks sake I'm a healer, don't make me do dual duty. Specially dual dutying as a tank-healer. Rogue complains: why are you not healing me? Me: why the fuck are you on the other side of the map instead of where the rest of the party is? Tank: you're not healing me fast enough? Me: Why the fuck did you choose to aggro 8 enemies when you know we can only handle 5 at a time? Ranger: why you didn't heal me? Me: why the fuck did you go to the front lines? You're a ranger. Not a swordsman. People are expecting you to be a healer. And you expect them to do their job... then they stop doing it and blame you for it. And this also extends to "Support Classes" not just healers. I placed down a turret. Guess what the rest of the party does? Aggro the enemy away from the turret, wasting cooldown time and mana. I placed down a purifying totem cause I know the boss does an AOE poison attack, why the fuck are you not running to this totem when you do see you are poisoned? We're playing (insert MMO here) not SIMS! I did not place that totem for decoration. The saltiest I have been as a Support Class is with Helldivers. You see, resupplies are handled via drop pods, including vehicle drops. Naturally I bring Ammo resupplies, Revives, and Vehicles via drop pod. And in this game, Friendly Fire is always on, so someone dying because they walked right infront of an ally with a laser cannon is expected, guess what happens when I call in for a drop. Twice the irony if it's a Revival Pod. Some idiot walks directly under the flare where supplies/revive/vehicle will drop, and be crushed by it. Bonus points if it's a revival pod meant to revive another teamate who died before said idiot. Just when you thought you finally revived everyone and stood a chance in defending a point, your newly revived teamate kills the other right at spawn.
As a low rank player, I never had the impression that the rectangularness of a barrier was part of the low-rank definition of main tank. I only ever heard "barrier = main tank", nothing more complicated than that. I.e. It was obvious to every low-rank player that Winston and Orisa were obviously main tanks despite the non-rectangularness of their barriers. This being said, even as a low rank player, I'd rather take the word of high-ranking players than that of my rank peers even if I don't always understand the reasoning, so I just accepted that Ball was (often) a main tank and Sigma was (in many cases) an off tank.
it also depends on the game it was more common in older MMO then new but still exist to a degree, not to mention Priority Healers heal everbody but a tank that about to die is bad for the group, tank and healers need to live in order for the group as a hole to survive. and in some MMO a tank and a Healer can solo a dungeon on their own if their careful dd/dps just makes it faster.
to be honest this time its justified to hate dps because the only thing what dps is doing is just pumping damage and being sweaty also a tank is more hype than a sweaty dps because how satisfying it is when a slow tank with slow attack move can just one shot an opponents
I didn't forget it. It didn't exist when I made this chart. Also Accel Star's Call was different back then. Here is an updated chart: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/796349967215493180/1081254238451159040/image.png
Interesting. I don't play FPS games but wanted to watch this to see how you guys deal with combat shooting versus target shooting. Unfortunately it appears all cover is hard cover, so there's no tacticality to shooting. Whereas IRL your target and you are two moving points and there's plenty of things that can get in the way yet the shot is still valid.
what do you mean by "apart from raid progression" ;D lets not talk about anything else cuz lets face it nothing else is "hard" in mmos (mayby just pvp) and in the raids dps are responsible just for themselves while healers need to do all the stuff that dps are doing and fix every mistake any other role is making plus in the meantime do your part of dps (at least in proper difficulty where you have time limit for killing boss so called dps check) also i dont know nothing about healers in fps games etc but i really dont think we should put fps and mmos healers in the same bag they are just completely different things (also sry for my eng ;D)
The thing I hate the most as a support/healer, is when some one asks me to heal a one shot or stands in the middle of the enemy team or runs out of LOS and then whines about why I didn't help them while I'm still walking out of spawn. Then again I play in bronze.
