Lust for big rugged tank cocks

>there will never be Elder Tales

>What's it like playing as the healer in an MMO?
Boring depending on the MMO and class. Last time I seriously healed was in TBC in WoW. Tried playing the role in FFXIV and got bored of it.

tfw healer because I'm shit at everything else

She takes barbed cat penis every night.

But XIV's healing is fun, you don't just jump around with your dick in your hands waiting for someone to need a heal, nor do you spam heals because if you stop EVERYONE DIES.

>fast queue times
>capable of soloing most content
>doesnt rely on potions so it indirectly generates money
>make everyone your bitch or they die
feels good

I hate it, but everybody else is shit at healing, so I gotta take matters into my own hands.

This is only a meme. There are no cute boy healers to suck my massive tank cock.

Doing any role in FFXIV is boring, good mmo, just bland as fuck jobs and skills.

Depends on the power structure of the group
You could end up as the classic heal slut, the tanks pocket bitch, or the group commander.

Isn't she suppose to look jaded and dead inside since she's a healer?

Christ, I was surprised how much of a worst girl she actually was. On topic though, depends on game and general group competence. Sometimes you're on babysitting duty and other times you're just sleeping and healing every so often.

She's a newbie, she has a ways to go

...

Dunno, maybe things have changed in the year+ I've not played it. Last time I had fun playing a healer anything was Mercy in mystery heroes, flying between two Pharahs in the sky.

Well, tanks never put me in my place and make me want to suck their cocks.
It's a tragedy

>help your teamates succeed
>underappreciated until another healer goes down
>feel in control of the raid because you keep the engine going

I /only/ heal in MMOs, m8

You're just a big cum bucket after all

Nyanta the best.

He's pretty good, but he's stuck with the dumb furry loving healslut.

Shame there won't ever be a season 3, like most series that deserve/need them.

Only if the focus wouldn't be on the newbies.
Gimme guild shenanigans again.

can we just drop the pretense

Taking responsibility for the wellbeing of the group. Planning ahead to get the optimal use out of your healing, damaging and supporting spells. Coordinating your group seeing that you have by far the best overview of the battlefield. Be able to retain your clam while facing adversity.

Lead from behind. Be the wind that calms the group.

Every other answer is fetish bait and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Won't happen. Japanese don't want to deal with drama and such, same reason we won't get a 3rd Haruhi season (ignoring Disappearance of Yuki-chan).

RIP in pepperonis then.

This.

Depends on the team.
If your group is competent then you can mostly sit back and relax because they barely need healing.
If your group is shit then you'll not have a single second of downtime.

It's one of the easiest jobs in most mmos, and an important role that'll get you easy and quick access to parties.

Name 1 (ONE) game where tanking is harder than healing.
HARD MORE: The person playing is not a braindead retard.

Faceroll team bitches at you for doing nothing when you have nothing to do
Dogshit team bitches at you for needing to stop after every other fight to keep them alive due to their immense stupidity and lack of ability to get the fuck out of the way of bad things.

Halo. Healing just required you to donkey punch your friend and stay out of combat for a second so he could respawn, or walk over a health pack. Tanks require hand eye coordination to maneuver and fire upon enemies properly.
Check mate Christfag.

they added classes to Halo?

Played healer in an shooter for a few weeks.
Was usually the difference between a complete wipe and a total stomp.
On more then one occasion I could take a team from losing miserably to winning outright.
It must have seemed like they were fighting an immortal army or something.

Go to bed.

>mfw Misaki Kuno voices the chocochick in World of Final Fantasy

Nigger what? Serara is great.

Very informative.

I can't fucking stand her. What do you like about her user? All she really has going for her is being a housewife and lusting after pussy.

I bet your favourite girl is S2's idol (male).

>idol (male)
wew laddy, not even close

You only focus on the life bars in the group interface

Literal autism

Your just a cum dump for Tanks and DPS

You will hate me but you will need me.

That's not how you spell Tankbro.

I hope he gets addicted to Tetra's boypussy

>playing a healer in GW1
>all your spells have 1/2 second to 1/4 second cast times
>there arent really tanks so everyone is just always taking fucking damage
>there's about 1000 hexes in the game and you need to notice as soon as one is applied, what it is, and what it does, then react to it immediately or you can fuck yourself over and take a quarter of your hp bar off per spell


Really fucking fun basically.

Health bar hockey. It's like pushing a button to make a slowly depleting bar rise back to the top and reset.

Although some bosses allow healers to show off. I only do it because everyone else is truly, truly awful at it.

>you'll never take barbed cat penis every night
why even live

Depending on the game but mostly just sit there watching everyone's HP while keeping your MP in check.
It's snorefest most of the time but some games let healer do more stuff that others can't/won't do so you healer will feel more special than the others.

emulate cute anime girls

next season when?

Dependant on big strong caretakers.

Never.

>idol (male)
you mean idol (male (female)).
His ET body is a girl body.

oh fuck

Marielle was best horizon.

Frustrating because every tank I get has autism and waits like 10 seconds after each pull, and every single DPS has downs syndrome and finds some new and contrived way to make my job hard to do

It was enough to make me switch to tank, but then I found out it wasn't any better because every healer I get is functionally braindead and can't find the buttons they have to press to heal me

Oh boy, is that a new FotM anime that will get endlessly posted by Sup Forumsutistic crossboarders for days to come?

nah, it's a good version of SAO that only got 2 seasons because the creator got caught for tax fraud rip
(you)

>always roll a tank character in every MMO I play

So few people will ever get to experience the feeling of a good tank and healer relationship in these games. The feeling of someone always having your back is a great one.

I love my healers and my healers love me.

...

>not recognizing DATABASE DATABASE
>2016
Apply yourself, user.

I bet over three fourths of the faggots larping as fuckboy healers don't even play MMOs

>FotM
>Ended years ago
???

Best boy got the best girl.

Gay and boring in PvP, all work no glory

PvE you can get satisfaction out of essentially being the carry and being able to make up for idiot DPS blunders by keeping them alive through their fuck-ups

If you are doing anything with a high difficulty it can be extremely stressful as the lives of the group are in your hands and there is tremendous pressure to perform well

It's a thankless task, be prepared to be blamed for every wipe and slowly become extremely jaded and bitter and hate everyone but other healers because "only they understand my pain"

I played a healer once
since I was a scrub healer, all I did was keep everyone healthy and never did any off-DPS like a good healer would. I only learned to be better after someone noticed I never casted an offensive spell after like the 5th battle we went in

I believe the healslut posters are just posters from /xivg/
You're not entirely wrong though, considering the people in that general don't even play the game

i remember him visiting Sup Forums
such a bro

You can keep the engine running, or you can BE the engine, you limp wristed faggot.

He doesn't even really mind people pirating his shit.

A good girl.

What the fuck is wrong with that guys arm. Holy shit

Healslut is more of an Overwatch thing now.

...

...

I wouldn't be surprised if it were the same posters to be honest

Regardless of origin I believe those fucks should neck themselves.

...

In WoW?
zzzzzzzz Look at my healthbars, park myself on a spot, and only move as mechanics demand me. Pray nobody dies because that's a wipe. Get blamed anyways when DPS die from fucking up the easiest mechanic in Valor.

In FFXIV?
Buttons for days. Clutching out mechanics like a champion. Reviving niggas when they slide off on Sophie while still being the the driving force of damage boosting to my Party. So active, so fun.

Fucking feel like a MAN in FFXIV as a healer.

...

fucking DEEN messed up her hair real good.

That he was, shame that he had to fuck up.

...

>dire machines
At least girls are nice.

Is this the daily sissyfication thread?

It's my fetish, I sometimes wish I started hormone therapy in my teenage years to become a natural looking girl who likes a rough dicking.

>I sometimes wish I started hormone therapy in my teenage years to become a natural looking girl who likes a rough dicking.
i-i don't think thats a fetish

>google the anime
>MC is support class
nice. he's is not one of those "charge forward with my will power" right ?

is it good ?

But it is. Faggotry is an illusion.

Yeah, it's pretty good, but lower on action than most would assume. The bulk of the show is politics and people trying to adapt to their new situation. Also lots and lots of /glassesadjust

MC is a keikaku guy, it's good.

Downsides to the anime is that it's censored (no bodies or blood) and season 2 has some pacing problems.

...

I don't know why people think healers are for cute girls sucking on their boyfriends' cocks. Healers are the angriest fucking nerds on the MMO genre, they will start shouting at you the moment a fire appears in front of you.

There may be some chicks saying that they play healers and shit, but the girls that I've known like the dps casters more than anything.

Healers are the most entitled cunts you'll find in any game. A lot of them believe other people should thank them for doing the job they chose themselves. It's a class for needy little bitches who want recognition without having to do anything to earn it.

WoW (atleast up to TBC)
by far

No, today this is Sup Forums residence. Come talk with us about LH and find out why your waifu is shit.

I laughed way too hard at the air glasses

>and find out why your waifu is shit.
Impossible. My waifu is perfect. She's a princess.

...

Nobody thinks healers are cute girls

this
they are cute boys!
