Yeah what Sounssy said.
For people not comfortable with it, if you have a bit of a competitive mind like I do (well I'm not really competitive actually, I don't like the pressure, but I like knowing I'm performing well more exactly), pop up a parser and start giving yourself little challenges. Try to up your DPS every time. Try to beat that SCH in a trial. Whatever.
And yeah, surprisingly, it feels kinda satisfying when you suddenly notice that you deal more damage than a quarter of the party DPS roles in a 24 men raid as a... WhM. It's really nice to be happy about your own performance I find (and suddenly you start to understand how some players can be abyssmal bad at the game).
But maybe it's just me.
At first I hated cleric. It feels clunky and unsafe. After so many runs it just feels more or less natural now. Do mistakes still happen, and I'm suddenly healing in cleric? Yeah, it happened to me yersterday because one of the problems in that game is that some skills or buttons are super unresponsive, and cleric can be at times. It's pretty obvious when it does, it can make you sweat a bit, it makes you swear, but then... You shrug it off and carry on.
Every class makes mistakes at times, and sometimes it can lead to a wipe. I find people are cool with it when it's obvious you stumbled on the 1/1000 times it happens to you. Just apologize and carry on really.
Edit: I noticed that the tone you take can even change everything. Sometimes a stupid wipe due to cleric actually makes people laugh. Like once I rushed to gorilla/bomb duty in A5 and tossed the bomb in the wrong direction.... directly on top of the party. People were like "lol wtf".
I notice that I tend at times for example, after a panic moment when I try to reach the Benediction button, that I reach the Raise button party chat macro just next to it. It leads to awkward moments like trying to raise someone not dead, or the boss. I was thinking to swap its position until I noticed that people will often giggle at it, so I decided to keep it there.
