My beef, as someone who also heals, is with healers who think prioritizing dps over healing makes any sense. Especially in Alex or Void Ark. You rolled a healer, motherfucker. If you want to sit and do nothing but dps, then roll a black mage like the rest of us. I know you want to be out of the dungeon fast so you can go back to doing..whatever it is you do when you're not fucking up being a healer. Healers helping dps is fine. Even I flip stances sometimes now even though it was anathema to me for the longest time (mostly because my machine is old *and* my net is shit, and shit happens before it responds half the time). But. When you're running Void Ark like the one I was in last week, and the WHM is in cleric stance for every fight, and won't even drop out of it to heal, and doesn't even rez when people die. Nope, gotta get those big dps numbers! Then I seriously question if the person knew they were rolling a healing class. A whm or scholar doesn't need to be in perma-dps for 4 man dungeons either. They end so fast, it really doesn't matter. Well, unless it's Neverreap, but fuck that dungeon.
It also doesn't help when groups refuse to stand within healing range. Cuchulainn fight is a huge offender for this. Even when people put down group indicators of where your group needs to roughly be, they run to the other side and we can't heal them. Then they bitch when they die, wondering why we weren't healing. Because you were FIFTY FUCKING YALMS AWAY, YOU DEGENERATE. Running through the pools of poison to heal a few guys that just had to run to the other side of the room for some reason is not acceptable, because then the healers have a higher chance of biting it. Then EVERYONE suffers. It goes like this, honestly.
