What role do you never play?

When I heal in FFXIV I never dps.
I just tell them hey I don’t expect any if you to do anything else but the role you signed up for.

And

Face it you dps’ers are lazy and just want to watch Netflix while u do your job and mine. Not happening.

If a tank is taking almost no damage and I have nothing to do I’ll throw a dot on a boss but that’s it.

I laugh when people say I am dps only.
Yeah you and 98.99999% of players. Enjoy your queue times.

I enjoy healing for one reason…I can enforce my policy of:

If you pull it (dps pulling mobs ) then you die as I won’t heal you.

I’ve actually met players who have never / will never play a healer, yet rag on healers hard in M+ and raids. Its tragic.

I primarily DPS. I’ll heal in lower level content and I only tank in friends/guild only runs.

I wish that classes had more support functions.
Like when shadow priests had an ability that when used would heal nearby party members.

I would love similar things like that for more classes. Like a rogue ability that increased party evasion, warlock siphon life that spread out a small % of healing to party members,
Oh and enhancement or elemental shamans having totens that affect everyone in a group etc.

Just more group support mechanisms per class so dps only classes bring a party buff AND a party healing or other constant effect based on their abilities

Nothing that would take the place of a healer but even if the abilities just provided a weak HOT in each person in the party.

Doesn’t SPriest still have Vampiric Embrace as a group heal CD?

108

DK Tank. It’s the only tank spec I can’t get my head around.

109

Probably raid tank, even LFR. I have done it and I may do it in very rare instances, but I don’t like working with a co-tank. If raids were set up for one tank, I’d do it more.

Up until this expansion, I would do anything but tank. Never could get into it, on any class. I had mained a healer for most of my WoW life, with brief periods of running as dps (ranged and melee).
Ended up more or less cornered into tanking for guild raids this expansion, after having leveled this toon intending to be dps. No time to level anything else when the situation occured, so flipped Blood and had to learn in a hurry.
It’s turned out pretty okay. I really didn’t think I’d enjoy it but now I think I might wanna stick with it indefinitely. It helps that my co-tank is my husband, excellent tank communication has made my guild raids so much smoother. I won’t tank anything outside of guild activities, though.

Oh that is SO me. If someone else led and pointed the way fine but if left to me we’d be lost forever

I have been playing since about 2006. I don’t play tank or healer. Never have and never will. I only play dps and I prefer ranged. I know that I am not a good player to start with and I know tank and healer are a good bit harder than dps. Furthermore, I prefer to play solo. My group experience is usually Normal difficulty dungeons. I did branch into LFR in Legion since I really had no choice because of quest demands. Because I’m really not that good a player, I make a point to try to listen to the tank and healer and, when I can, make their jobs as easy as possible (attack what tank attacks, kill adds, don’t stand in stuff, read up on rotations (Icy Veins), etc.). I have never voted “yes” to kick a tank or healer out of respect for the difficulty. If I’m not willing to do it, I don’t feel comfortable denigrating those who do.

I used to almost exclusively tank but I find it really hard to step into that role nowadays. I will either heal or melee dps 95% of the time.

114

Before this xpac, I don’t think I had ever “seriously” dps’d actually. I’ve healed on my priest since the beginning and used to tank on my pally… This xpac, I decided to try something other than priest and chose a rogue. Ended up loving it and have played it nearly non-stop this xpac.

Now, I’m getting into my DK, both DPS and tanking! Fun stuff.

115

I never play the victim.

116

I loathe tanking

117

Then I’m a proud dummy. I greatly enjoy the current way Fury plays.

118

I just tell 'em I can’t heal stupid.

I tend to avoid melee DPS. It feels claustrophobic or something.

I always main a healer though.

119

I never play none of them. :wink:

120

Ranged DPS. I’m not a fan of casting frostbolts and watching netflix.

121

What isn’t appealing about Frostbolts and watching Dexter? Come on…
