This is gish propaganda. Nothing wrong with two barbs side by side soaking up damage together or two casters taking turns wiping the field from a tall spot.

Everyone could use a healer, though.

Was about to say, I'm a healer main who married a healer main. It has its perks

My local stadium hires a security company called DPS. I stopped one of them and said "y'all's comp is unbalanced, try sprinkling in some mages and tanks" and he had no idea what I was talking about.

Bystander laughed though so it wasn't wasted time.

also consider polamory as you want the trifecta and maybe even an extra dps or two.

[–] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (4 children)

Half of all polycules come about solely to form an adequately-sized D&D campaign.

(Or so all the relevant polyam memes in my FB feed tell me.)

Just make sure everyone has their WIS maxed out or you’ll have a bad time.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 3 points 11 months ago

lets not ask for the moon. how are we going to find one dps with high wis much less two.

[–] oxideseven@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

Or polearmory, that reach is very helpful

New existential crisis unlocked: what class am I?

Oh it's easy. Check your character sheet top right

[–] Arkaelus@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oh... Oh, no! I was supposed to have a character sheet?!

As long as you brought food, the dungeon master won't kick you out

[–] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

I find that DMs become quite patient with helping players make character sheets when provided a can of coke and some donuts/chips.

First you got to have the existential crisis of figuring out what system you are playing. You can't just assume D&D. Once you get that out of the way save room on your schedule for a smaller crisis about which edition you are dealing with...

You're fringe class

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 26 points 11 months ago (1 children)

OK but literally. I'm a healer. Started dating a tank main. Dps are a dime a dozen so we never have queue issues.

[–] HauntedCupcake@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I'm the healer and my partner is a dps. Healers and Tanks seem so criminally underplayed that I alone massively skew the queue times.

Healer and Tank combo must be borderline instant

[–] KaiReeve@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm a plate DPS main and I married a healer. There is a lot of pressure to 'just tank' for her.

I usually prefer range shooty man and lately my healer wife, bored with nothing to heal, decided to be range shooty girl.

And now we can't kill things fast enough so now she stays shooty girl and I'm tank/~~healer~~hope I don't die.

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 15 points 11 months ago (2 children)

what do I do if I'm a healer

[–] BubbleMonkey@slrpnk.net 44 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Prepare some side quests to give a potential mate, obviously. Then stand around in a light beam and wait.

ETA:

[–] dvlsg@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Or find another healer. That way when you introduce your healer partner, they can tell you what a waste you are.

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 7 points 11 months ago

Find a warrior or mage I guess?

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (6 children)

I took this quiz, I am a neutral good human monk: https://easydamus.com/character.html

Edit to say I am not looking to pair up lol, just thought it was a fun quiz

[–] Depressed_blender@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Definitely a fun quiz. I got Chaotic Neutral Human Fighter/Monk.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 2 points 11 months ago

Wow that was long. Did not expect 140 questions. lol

Chaotic Neutral Human Druid!

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

That just sounds like a difference in luck, I think yours is better than mine

more viable in the current meta

... the what?

[–] RudeOnTuesdays@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They are making a joke equating real life romance to video games. The "current meta" refers to whatever class build/equipment load out is most powerful in the current version of the game.

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 20 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Or whatever people think is the most powerful, at least. It's worth noting that the meta can often be wrong, and if you play what you enjoy, you might find yourself discovering something stronger.

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago

Thank you both

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 5 points 11 months ago

Also crushing isn't the only viable goal. Like you said, if you just want to enjoy yourself and not even worry about what's stronger or weaker, that's super valid

I'm only interested in DPS.

Dicks Per Second.

[–] Huschke@programming.dev 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

This is false for at least World of Warcraft. Everyone who has every done any random group content can attest to the fact that it is always hardest to find a good tank.

[–] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think tank in most MMOs is a low-desire role. It typically hinges entirely on having a healer to keep you tanking, as well as holding an immense responsibility to be aware of aggro patterns and incoming debuffs. You eat a lot of blame for not tanking well, even if it's just because your healers mispositioned or some DPS decided to steal aggro by spamming too much of X move.

And generally, you don't feel as much of the "I did a thing!" feeling as, say, a rogue pumping out damage or a mage casting a slew of debuffs and DoTs.

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

When I was younger, I always played a tank, and yea the blame was always high, raid goes good, it was DPS got the good job, raid goes bad, fucking tanks fault.

Is it better to marry a pocket healer or am I in for a lot of trouble if I do

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

"Cosmonaut Marcus" makes sense now.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

My wife loved playing a healer in WoW, so we never had any problems finding raid groups or arena partners.

[–] dogsoahC@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

IIRC, this is basically what happens, in a way. Our scent makes us more attractive to people with different sets of immonorelevant genes, so that our offspring has a wider array of defenses.
