Anime Healers VS MMO Healers

The world of anime healers is full of dainty, shy young girls who just want to help and make everyone feel good and happy and be friends with everyone.

MMO healers are sick of you standing in the red and are THIS close to just doing the rest of the raid by themselves. You're only alive because they want you alive.

Anime healer: “violence is scary!”
MMO raid healer: “I can’t heal stupid.”
PvP healer: *sigh* “Ze healing leaves little time for ze hurting.”

[livgaines]

"raising that guy is a DPS loss" is definitely something i have said while healing.

Anime healer: **a nun with miracles**

MMO Healer: **a war cleric with healing spells.**

I like to think at least a few healer players start out as “anime healers, ” full of hope and a desire to support others, only to get slowly corrupted by the experience of playing with real people.

Anime Healer: “I just want everyone to be safe!”
MMO Healer: “I control who lives or dies. Do not test me.”

[LordCrate-duzm]

Anime healer: I need to help everybody I can!

MMO healer: *I control who lives. Be hopeful it's you.*

As someone who mains healers, "I can't out-heal stupidity" is going to be my new mantra, thank you very much.

As a DPS, I can confirm: getting trash talked by the healer is just part of the job. Nod and don't let them down, soldier.

Anime healer: "For the sake of my friends, I must keep them alive!"
MMO healer: "For the sake of my drops... and my sanity... they have to learn how to stay alive."

fun story: in one of my first dungeons as a healer, people were trash talking me because apparently I wasn't able to outheal something that wasn't meant to be healed, but dodged. I then let them die, and soloed the boss. After that day, my god complex was fully developed.

My healing style in MMOs has gone from “oh no, you’re below 100% lemme fix that.” To “is your hp above zero? You’re fine.”

One of my favorites was in WotLK, our GM says, "Look at the top guilds, their healers are doing half of what our healers are doing. So why are we dying?"

My response: "You can only heal damage taken, which means we're taking three times the damage they are."

“Stand in the red, you’re dead.”
and
“Can’t out-heal stupid.”
are actual phrases we’d use in ESO.

Anime healer: "3 episodes to heal an injured party member"
MMO Healer: "You now have 4x your HP bar in shields, regen, and 15% damage reduction. Imma do some DPS now"

My first MMO was Star Wars Galaxies. I played a Creature Handler/Combat Medic. I absolutely used my "drag corpse" ability to position dead people under nice, shady trees with the instruction "now sit here and think about why you're dead". 😂

Anime Healers: Everything he said spans over 15 episodes + recap episode
MMO Healers: Everything he said happens within 15 minutes

[DahnsHeart]

Anime healer : "Oh no ! You made a mistake ! Quick, I must try to save you !"
MMO healer : "Whoops, rogue pulled. Guess who's not getting any heals."

[nvitski]

I remember the most impressive thing I saw in a MMORPG was when I met some party that fought a world boss. They had a healer with them, who didn't do anything, was just sitting on the ground waiting. When the party wiped, he lazily stood up, cast a mass ress, reviving everyone and then sat back down. It honestly looked like he was saying "there you go, you useless bloody bastards, now finish the job".

[Firewalkerbg]

You see, when you're the only healer in the party and everyone seems to want to tell you how to play your class.. People die.

The comedy potential of an anime healer with the MMO healer personality is too good for us mere mortals
