Since there are so many threads on the hard work clerics are doing, I thought of making a thread outlining all the stuff clerics don't do. Release all your rage in one thread! >: Hahaha. Outline your top 3 pet peeves about clerics xD
... Not that I have anything against clerics! I'm just bored ... procrastinating from exams >w<
1. Clerics who heal themselves when their party members are still alive.
Here's my #1 pet peeve about clerics.
Usually I have NOTHING against clerics who heal themselves! I mean come on, if the clerics dead, the party's chance of survival just dropped a considerable amount. When a cleric is doing his/her best to keep herself/himself and the party alive under a hard situation, I have nothing against that because the cleric knows that if he/she dies, the party just lost one of their only hopes. I also have absolutely nothing against clanks, which are actually one of my favourite parts of Fiesta. It's when the cleric is healing himself/herself while taking minimal damage that gets me pissed:
a) cleric, you're taking about 1/10 of the damage I'm taking right now.
b) cleric, get over yourself. If I die, you're going to be suffering the 19872364 mobs I'm trying to steer away from you right now.
c) cleric, you already have a few mobs on you, WHY ARE YOU DRAWING MORE AGGRO WITH YOUR HEALS? Do you not SEE that I'm trying to get them off you? Cut down the amount of your heals! There's a thing called HP stones that can heal you, and no, don't argue that you have already used up so many stones. Whatever number of HP stones you have used, I guarantee I've used about 3x more.
2. Clerics who argue that "he/she cannot heal all of us, therefore we must be doing something wrong."
Just ... -headdesk-
I can't believe I've met a cleric like this before. My personal experience came from the 5x abyss, where we were pulling only ~20 or so mobs with an amazing fighter, a back up tank, and 2 dds. When we all have died a few times, we told the cleric that she needed to start healing more. Her response? "I'm already healing as much as I can." "You need to do this the right way." "Sorry, I'm going to leave party because I'm not sure you guys know how to AoE."
I felt dumbfounded. I really didn't know what to do, whether to laugh or yell at the cleric. I'm just glad she left. I can find a cleric who does their role in the party ten times better than she does and has an attitude twenty times better.
3. Clerics who have an extremely bad attitude towards healing tips.
Apart from a few, I don't think there are too many people in Fiesta who yell at clerics just for the sake of it. There had to be something that the cleric wasn't doing satisfactorily enough to receive such criticism. Of course, some peoples' demands are rather ... high, but I think most have reasonable requests.
I. Don't. Understand. Why. Some. Clerics. Just. Don't. Take. Advice.
a) we're trying to help you. We WANT to have some fun, we want to gain exp, we know that you don't want whatever mob we're going after to run at you when we die. So please, accept the advice because we're not purposely trying to hurt your healing skills >w>
b) we're telling you about your own skills from another point of view. Don't you care? Don't you want to become a better cleric? We don't mock you and scream at you for no reason. If you can try listening to us, hey, you might just earn a compliment from the next fighter you party!
c) "I'm already too pro lololz" ... new things to be learnt everyday e__e And if we're giving you advice, you're not pro. Lol.
