DPS=Game, Healer=Job, Tank=Responsibility

[Dusk]

For me it just seems like DPS is the only way to truly have fun. I play this game to take my mind off stress by playing laid-back. Being a healer requires stress and alertness, but playing a DPS just requires nuking it out which is the most soothing playstyle. I just got my warrior to 70, respeced to Protection, and got some craftable pieces for primitive tanking in heroics, but boy does the Felsteel set look ugly as hell. My previous gear was full Might from the old MC days... now that sets looked awesome, Felsteel looks total crap which made me sick of my warrior already. Also healers/tanks get pigeonholed into their respective roles and when that happens they suck at solo grinding, PvP, whatever. DPS can excel at their respective role and be the best at everything. Healers/tanks are also the ones that get berated the most in instances... tank can't hold aggro, or healer can't keep people up, but the sad thing is if DPS screw up they're hardly blamed - the blame gets misdirected to the healers/tanks.


I would like to know how you healers find your 'fun' in this game.

I am just starting a priest, simply because I have done all the other rolls. . . granted I'm not to lvl 70 yet, but I like to play my toons while they are rested. . . gets me to the other levels quicker . . and makes it so that I don't get burnt out on just that one toon. I have a Mage, Hunter, Warrior, Priest, Rogue, and a Warlock. My mage is lvl 40, Hunter is lvl 33, Priest is lvl 8 (told you I just started her *yes I'm playing a chick*), Rogue lvl 21, Warlock lvl 6 (haven't spent much time on that one yet).

When I get tired of the class i'm playing atm I just switch so I can keep things interesting. I get so tired of grinding for hours/days with the same toon. So to make it so that I dont' get bored, when I get out of being reseted (usually I wait till they are 150% rested to play them) I will switch to another toon that is also fully rested. Then the leveling goes quicker, and you have more variety in your game play. They are also all kept close to the same level if you started them all out that the same time. . .
