Good tank doesn't need a healer, so you can forget your savior complex. Your job is to worry about the squishy deeps. I love dropping aggro every once in while to remind uppity healers their place.
Yeah, I love that skit! I've never played the game, but I've watched some playthroughs of it and I agree with Brit. The fact you can be impaled on a meat hook, pulled off and just healed via hand waving from an ally (with no sword & sorcery style "magic") is so wonderfully absurd!
When I started playing ARMA 3, I was simply so shite at getting any kills that I ended up just dedicating my main class to medic, healing and reviving left and right. It's still the main class I play today.
The satisfaction from finishing a raid as a healer is amazing. Being able to keep your raid in gorefiends burn phase long enough to kill him in one swoop, because you as a resto shaman solo heal for 45 seconds, turning over to the resto druid who heals for another 30, then the disc priest for 30, then you and resto druid duo heal until disc priest is back up and all 3 keep going, total of 4 minutes in burn phase, dead boss
as the healer and supporter of my raids this hits home. We always get called the easiest class cause we don't jump around madly in the battle and press like 20 keys a second....but we are the ones who need to have any eye on everything, position ourself and help all others to do their job, while we ourselves cant even really save ourselves from dmg.
I've never understood that. DPS is undeniably the easiest role and healer's the hardest.. and this is coming from a DPS main (or at least, used to be - before I stopped playing WoW)
When the healer dies, its party wipe guaranteed but it's always our fault because we surely like enemy fire, right? I liked it so much when a tank decided to be a DPS.. lol
Yeah I had an OP Healer and was the strongest Battle Mage in "Shaiya" by Aeria Games played with a lot of the moderators and pumped in a good $7k into her then when doing PVP against another server a moderator on the opposing server got me banned for having a bracket in my name ...
As an mmorpg player who was forced to heal because I wanted to play a paladin, I can absolutely relate to this. There's always that one dps who just loves to soak up damage, ignoring the boss mechanics and use up all the healers mana, then proceeds to blame the healer for the wipe.
All the video game raid addons that they invented 20 years ago prevent this. even when it isn't a wipe; you have stats on who took damage, and how many times and you can have a chat with the slow learners before the next raid You should try find a group that suits your play intensity. Casual, semi casual, strict or sweaty try-hard. Sometimes you're in the wrong group; and that's your own fault.
I love rewatching all these and noticing the small details, like the player character names. Sometimes just a meme, sometimes a reference to something perhaps a little more obscure.
@@TannerJ07 They did a whole series of mental health skits that are absolutely phenomenal. Addiction and depression were two of the things they addressed. I love these guys.
The production may have had to make due with less with the older videos but damn, that was still excellent content. And now I've been watching you all for so many years, that the older vids come with a little dab of nostalgia for extra good brain chemicals. There can never be enough compilation releases, always appreciated.
Back when I played, I was a Cat Druid with a side of Bear, but since I played solo a lot, I also out a little into healing. Essentially a utility class not suitable for parties. And yet, for some reason, I often found parties where I had to switch roles frequently because while I wasn't the best or using the ideal setup, I DID know how MY build worked. I never made it to the top levels, so I don't know which class I would have picked for party play, since I enjoyed tanking, dps, AND healing, just not being made to. Edit, relevance, multiple mentions pallies being made to heal keep reminding me of druiding. Same pig in a different dress.
It's so frustrating that the devs still haven't fixed the brightness of holy nova. But the healing is just so good, and the mana cost is very low for such a high level spell. Everyone has a love-hate relationship with it.
Can you imagine Adam yelling "Heal me MOTHAFUCKER' then Alan & Ben show up start singing Healing Hands? I can't get that image outta my head. Just to see Adam's reaction Please make it happen VLDL.
When I first started playing MMO's I chose the healer class of characters. But then, after a few months of getting blamed for everyone dying, I gave up that noble class and went to warrior. I sucked as a healer and finally admitted it was a lot more difficult than it first seemed to be. A healer class is a lot more difficult than it seems.
Aah the first sketch, I laugh so hardly every time! I used to be an healer and I litterally did the same, switched accounts with a complaining friend, epic results 😂😂😂😂
@@wolfmoon09ablesounds like issues people had with Lucario at first because his heals were line of sight and people like hiding from their healer for some reason.
@@OmniscientWarriorPretty sure meant to type Lucio (from Overwatch). People always complain about Lucio's heals when he's more a utility. Push in with speed (or use it to run for cover cuz walls heal an infinite amount by eating the damage), heals a small amount gradually, and puts pressure on people... but everyone thinks he can outheal insta kills.
This hits so close to home. I don't know how many dungeons I've tanked with healers who are so proud of their dps capability. I have learned to do all my own healing as the tank.
In ESO in weaker dungeons it is indeed preferable to have 3 dps, and one good tank, or one good healer. But when i see a fake healer in some veteran elite place where the boss can kill even the tankiest tank in 3 seconds....
Now you just need the part where the game decides "actually, you need to heal AND DPS or you will get wiped by a DPS check" all while the group complains that they are either not getting enough healing or complaining that the healer is not DPSing enough in what can only be described as "Schrodinger's healer."
Those games usually have super scripted and infrequent damage, making healing a matter of pressing the funny heal buttons at specific times and being free to do whatever the rest of the time.
I first played a healer with a group of my son's friends while son grabbed food. They called me C mom, had some randos in next game. Now everyone i heal for calls me mom! 😂
Could you please make a compilation of Rowan and Ben arguing about gameplay logics like eating the vial, horse pocket, obstacle and so on. These are some of my absolute favourites. If this compilation already exists, I’d be mighty grateful for a link.
Seriously, ya'll are knocking it out of the park on every level! [Pun fully intended] All technical aspects; framing, lighting, sound, colour grade, VFX design & implementation & compositing - Stellar - 10/10 All comedic aspects; dialogue, acting, facial expression, the actual jokes & their delivery - Banging - 10/10 All your costumes are *amazingly* good; every outfit fits each game perfectly - Wear & tear, blood effects, all look awesome. Everything is on point. Everything is relatable, true, and hilarious. I hope someday I'll get to meet you all and shake your hands personally! Well done - All of you - You are all *true* S-Tier creators! 🤟
As a lifelong healer class I totally relate to this video, it is one of the most difficult classes to play depending on the game. Eventually we become good enough to be a healer and damage dealer on some games based on our skill but always healer first in a major fight.
I felt that 1st skit so hard! When Moira 1st dropped in Overwatch, I really enjoyed her gameplay loop (damage>heal), but then got lobbied with some buffoon who didn’t understand her mechanics and just kept blindly charging the other team with the expectation I would just sustain him (screw me & the rest of the team, apparently). He unleashed a torrent of toxicity in chat even after I calmly pointed out the error was his. He rage quit…& we went on to win the match. Enough said.
13:38 "A bunch of kids defeated Pennywise by simply beating him up" LOL! 13:54 "A pokeball killed Squirtle by asphyxiation" XD 18:19 - Eating Zombie Flesh in Minecraft. XD
19:35 me trying to complete my side quests without screwing up my main campaign, except the drinks are redbulls, the quests are part-time jobs, and the campaign is my life 😢
I just thought of an amazing skit idea, so the healer in the party is really good so the party tries a difficult dungeon but they keep on losing battles and feeling like they’re gonna die but the healer is just keeping them alive effectively torturing them.
Raid healing is so rewarding when done right, but so easy to get blamed when things go wrong. Cant remember boss name in hellfire citadel, but as a resto shaman with a disc priest, resto druid with me, and a blood dk and brewmaster monk tanks, 1st phase i had almost nothing to do as it was either move or die. Kept getting asked why i wasnt healing that much. Finally convinced them to get into p2 and see the numbers. Top heals rest of the fight as my aoe was finally effective
I remember Tyrant Velhari was absolute ASS as a healer because one of her phases completely blocked all healing and was basically just a DPS race... meanwhile guess how many people actually realized it was a DPS race? Nada. "Are you gonna heal us??" Would if I could. But maybe not, judging by all the whining.
Was once a healer. It was a pain. I switched to dps and proceeded to learn how to exploit the enemies weakness. Now nobody wants to be the healer, we just seem to one shot everything, even minibosses and bosses. Takes around 10 sec to kill the boss tho. Healers now are relegated to buffers instead. A dps with vampiric effects literally needs no healing. Even healers now try nuking builds.
I had a pretty good idea what if you guys did dying light logic. I was thinking that drop kicking a zombie into Adam after you leveled up your agility as he’s confused af. You guys are awesome and these skits are incredible. Keep up all the good work.
As a healer back in old WoW... It was always fun putting cocky DPS in their place but just NOT healing them because they refused to listen to the Tank's instructions.
I played a healer to such a level of multitasking and assistance, that I coined the nickname "Tactical Nurse" think Andrew Garfield in Hacksaw Ridge? but actually fighting back. AND, performing field medicine with the other hand. I could tank two chomps from the dragon boss, a critical backstab from an enemy rogue, a crossbow bolt to the face by an enemy archer, and STILL remain in position, healing myself, assisting the tank in dealing with the archer, slap the boss away like "SHUT UP YOU!" and still have HP left to turn around and slash the rogue at point-blank range. low-key the most battle-hardened and violent healer of the server.
The last skit (Epic NPC Man Meditate) made my nerd senses tingly. There was a bit of Marcel Proust, a bit of Albert Camus, and a lot of Samuel Beckett in that soliloquy. Fucking well written and acted, thank you.
As a healer, I can confirm. I play a lot of support roles and sometimes it's a bit tough. Nothing like being a medic in Battlefield, under sniper fire, with some schmuck yelling into his mic for a medic when he's out in the open with 0 cover.
Anyone who doesn't regularly play healer and has at some point made the assumption that "it can't be that hard you aren't even fighting" knows that it's the most ridiculously demanding roll in the party.
I like being a healer... everyone relies on you and if you do it well, you're golden. Not a lot of healers in some games so you also have super low wait times
Me: I NEED HEALS Please!!! Healer: No. games need to remove healers and make it so all players can self-heal with equipment. carry 2 MED packs with you at all times and can find more on the field in Chests/ boxes.
I knew was a slim chance but one of my favourites wasn’t in. It had healing but wasn’t healing themed. When Adam was in the brightly coloured clothes healing Alan, and his accent was all over the place. “It’s changing between American and Australian mate….. and now a little bit of South African, eh”
I played healer on ff14 recently and for an 8 man raid i got 7 commendations at the end of it from saving our whole teams ass at least twice from ensuing death, and each individual player a few times i healed and saved otherwise.. never had so many commendations at once, i had like 28 prior to that from almost 2 months of playing. Literally fot a quarter of my total from one match. A plus too is the fact its far faster to queue into games when you play as the healer.
@@johnathanholmes1297 eh it's not bad... When you do dungeons, raids, trials, or any kind of PVP as well in ff14, at the end of it after the boss is killed or you're reviewing scores from PVP you get a choice to give commendations to one of your teammates. Which can be anywhere from a 4 man team upwards to a 24 man team depending on what you're doing. So basically a person can give any of their team members a commendation at the end but it's entirely optional. You actually have to go out of your way to give someone commendation by clicking the little tab prompt menu at end, which means it's basically optional. There are some achievements and challenge quests that ask you to give or receive them though so it can be incentivized but still not mandatory. For your character profile though your characters have a little submenu that has a little heart icon with your total lifetime number of commendations shown on it.y friend who got me into playing ff14 has played for 10 years now and he said he only had 78 total. Though admittedly he's played on two or three profiles that still shows you how rare they are. Oh and also you can only ever give one commendation per match / game, as it won't allow you to give it to multiple people.
@@johnathanholmes1297 ff14? The game kinda forces you to play with others for dungeons and trails at points and doing daily duties, for massive XP and even rare stuff depending on what you do, is also definitely forced co-op.
i had a holy pally in wow that was completely decked in pvp gear. pvp healers are super fun to play. made me feel like a god making complete scrubs immortal.
(1st skit) Missed an opportunity, when it cuts back to Rowan yelling for healing, he should of had a ridiculous amount of arrows sticking in him rather than 2 or 3.
The healing hands skit is one of the best one's ever done. Respect to the healer mommies (and occasional daddies) out there, as someone who tanks a lot, ya'll are the real heroes.
I can relate to this! Just imagine you're doing your damn best making sure everyone is alive then blames you if they're dead. That's to all non-healer user out there thinking healing is the easiest job!
