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

[–] [email protected] 43 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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.

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.)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I was about to say that was probably a joke but then I thought about the other 2 couples I've done D&D with and, yeah, no, accurate

[–] radicalautonomy 3 points 2 weeks ago

Oh no, it's definitely a thing. I've been polyamorous for 10 years, and I can count on one hand the number of polyam people in my circles who aren't into either D&D or board games.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Or polearmory, that reach is very helpful

New existential crisis unlocked: what class am I?

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends 33 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Arkaelus 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] mossy_ 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks 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 25 points 2 weeks 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 3 points 2 weeks 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 17 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends 3 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

what do I do if I'm a healer

[–] [email protected] 43 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

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

ETA:

[–] dvlsg 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Find a warrior or mage I guess?

[–] nifty 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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

more viable in the current meta

... the what?

[–] RudeOnTuesdays 21 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you both

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks 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

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

I'm only interested in DPS.

Four White Mages? It’ll never work.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks 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 3 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] Crashumbc 2 points 2 weeks ago

A tank period...

At least currently.

[–] dogsnest 4 points 2 weeks ago

"Cosmonaut Marcus" makes sense now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] Anticorp 3 points 2 weeks ago

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