Rock, Paper Shotgun - Sick Of Healing

For anyone that's ever played a healer in any MMO, John Walker from Rock, Paper, Shotgun gives a look at how difficult the life of an MMO healer really is.

It’s so much easier to blame the healer, than oneself. Sure, they may have been able to prevent your losing, but it was still you who lost. You allowed yourself to get so weak. You put yourself in deathly peril. And the chances are, if you’re one of those people who blames every death on the healer, you’re probably pretty terrible at the game.

I’m not going to play a healer again. Next time, I shall select a heal that boosts my chances. Let the others be damned, look after their own damn selves. There’s no reason for me to put up with the suffering. No cosy, tie-wearing super-consultant job awaits me, making this abuse worthwhile. It’s every superhero for himself! And many shall die as a result of this.

I am so onboard with everything he says, except that I'm a lifetime healer.  It's like being a glutton for punishment.
