Still recruiting! Giving this a quick bump.

This sounds neat! Kohl Eidyr I'll leave the expression up to you! Something upbeat, maybe.

[align=center][/align] [align=justify]Before you hangs a flyer, tacked onto the local job board of your respective city-state, from Limsa Lominsa to even the far reaches of Kugane: "The Coeurl's Coffer is seeking adventurers of all stock to help fill its ranks. If you love to travel the realm and seek adventure, this is the job for you! Currently seeking: Adventurers Hunters Researchers Appraisers Custodians Secretary Accountant Treasurer" Below the neat cursive script is a sketch of a large coffer, brimming with gold and jewels of all varieties and an address! How exciting! Below it, hidden within the pile of gold, is the fine print. It reads: "Be equipped to fend off any natural or supernatural beings. Should you not have the training to defeat such foes, basic training will be provided and mandatory." [/align]

While I'm not one to QQ at healers for not DPSing in most content, I can't seem to wrap my head around the "why" of it. Like... if I played a WHM or a SCH and just sat there healing all day (or throwing a HoT/heal in my tank's direction when he gets below ~90% HP), I'd want to blow my head off. It's like if I chose to play a DRG and decided "You know what? Positionals aren't really my thing." Can I do it? Sure. Can I get away with it? Probably. But how can you tolerate it? FFXIV is already -- imo -- a pretty stale game most of the time, so why make it even worse? ...But I mean, to each their own, I suppose. And the argument of "No matter what I do, I'll get chewed out for the opposite!" is moot, since you're not being chewed out for not healing or not DPSing, you're getting chewed out for not doing both proficiently. A good healer -- as some have already stated -- can do both harmoniously and without sacrificing the other. This is a little off-topic, but really, all it takes if you aren't comfortable with your ability to do something (utilizing cleric stance in this case) is a quick, civil "Sorry if I don't hop into Cleric too much, guys. I haven't wrapped my head around it enough to be confident flipping it on and off in this content" at the beginning of the dungeon. tl;dr for the second bit: Just own up to the fact that maybe you're just not at a point where you can comfortably use cleric stance (or any toggle skill; deliverance comes to mind for WARs). We're not all perfect right off the bat, and barring Savage content, I don't think anyone's expecting perfection from you.

Those are some snazzy sketches. #EnviesAllArtists I'll leave a Dorian here for when you can get around to it!

D-do we just post our tumblrs in here? Everyone above is just doing that, so I'll tag along. (Now watch as I do it wrong.) Muh tumblr: Dorian Eckhart [align=justify]Did I do it right? Are we all okay? Did we 'splode? ._. On a more serious note, the tumblr is relatively SFW. There shouldn't be anything too graphic outside of the short stories that I use to flesh out my character, which is what the blog is mostly made up of. So, uh... mostly SFW, but like with most tumblrs, it's always something of a risk. What you don't need to worry about, however, is anything bordering pornographic! So, uh... if you're at work and you're trying to read my stuff, you can (probably) get away with it but you probably shouldn't because you're at work and stuff. ^-^ (IC/Inspiration Hyur tumblr)[/align]
