Hi all just want to say this is a great game for casual mmo player like me , i am trial version and converted to complete edition just 3 weeks in game due to the 50% off discount end of year sale and the need of retainer bank space & gil uncapping.
First char was PLD and it was a blast tanking from low levels to 55s , then i got to try SAM and RDM , loving RDM so much i leveled it above my PLD , she is now 56. Still confused about samurai though.. Meanwhile leveled my lancer job and conjurer job to at least 30+ to try melee dps and healing.
And as new player i love the Novice Network where many vets helped newbies.. I even have a mentor helped geared me with insane lv 50 cracfted gead full of materia, helped me get into FC and do many incredibly selfless stuff for me.. (thanks Sinstrel)
My questions from my sprout perspective are these :
1. I been told that healer in FF14 are supposed to dps while healing , which is fine for me. but i saw few healers in DF roulette (below 50) do more DPS than healing to the point of allowing tank and dps health below 10%. I noticed they are not sprout player , but they seem to play rather selfishly in group setting (my opinion) .. Lucky i met mostly competent and responsible healer (maybe 90%) and bad apples are few and far between , though it left me with bitter taste a bit.. Is this Normal situation the higher the level ? of just at lower levels
2. When i bring the point #1 into NN , i got piled on by mentors who said i was trolling and other insults. I was shocked as i never thought mentors would do that to sprout in Novice Network. Theres few mentors who explained in civilized way but i remember at least 5 mentors piling up on me.. is this responsible behaviour of mentors ? i dont think brigading and bullying sprout is nice in NN. Note that i was telling my story in Aurum Vale normal where healer either too slow and let tank health dropped precariously , and also letting a dps die.I didnt call out names just stating incompetently played healer is annoying.
Just wish those mentors who lost their mentor spirit stop being mentor and remember what a mentor should behave especiall in NNtoward sprouts..
NOTE : i tested myself by leveling my CNJ to WHM (about lv 35 now) and i found out myself how i can easily ruin a party by acting as semi AFK healer / netflix healer , or how i can concentrate on my job and do both dps and heals effectively.. (if one can say Stone and Aero are good dps at that level).. No issue with Healer doing DPS as long as they remember to heal.
NOTE : I find sprout healers are the best healers and they always try their best in my experience tanking with them , i find the few healers that perform badly have non sprout icons near their name.. i
