Also, as someone who plays a healer in alsmot every rpg I have played, I'm yet to see a game make a healer that can out dps any other dps class. It's impossible because of all the advantage rouge/assassin classes have or ranged classes such as archer, gunslinger etc.
You can usually out heal the damage they deal but what good does do when you get stunned every few second?
Only game that I've played that had a healer that could deal a decent amount of damage was Celes Arca, and it wasn't even game where you could play against other players, it was a old style pixel RPG. Cleric (later upgraded to Grand Sage) had AOE (area of effect) skills that could kill large amount of enemies quickly, but again there were stronger classes.
Only other game Ive seen that has a pseudo dps healer is Revelation online with Occulist that's again, not a healer. It's a dps (damage dealer) but has skills that heals themselves. So again, it's a dps that just has healing abilities, while their real healing class Spirit Shaper has almost Zero chance of winning any pvp match.
Kinda ranting here, not really relevant to the story, just wish this kind of story was possible in real life games because I'm sick and tired of my favorite class always being on the supportive side and having to rely on others for help when Leveling up at the beginning og the game. I want to be over powered too while healing as well! >.<
It’s not that deep
Most readers of this genre that I know in real life are not gamers at all. So, maybe the authors either aren't gamers themselves or they cater to their "not so savvy" readers and simplify things.
Fr a healer win a pvp is too unreal lol
Literally said at the end that it's not serious and that I'm just ranting and being salty because I WISH these kinds of damage dealing healer classes are a thing in real life games but sadly they never are.
Well, the game i play has healers who can dps and ive had parties be carried by healers once we were all downed. People often talk about a certain healer class having to switch to dps’ing
Im a dps main plus occasional tank, and healers are sooo vital to good partys
Whilst of course a healer isnt going to out dps a dps, but neither would a dps out tank a tank and so forth
But they can all make up for it with their other skills even if its not as good as the dedicated class
Imo Healer classes aren't as weak as a lot of stereotypes make them out to be
But after playing good mmorpgs, ive come to realize there are a lot of flaws or lack of experience in these kinds of stories that i didnt notice so much before getting into good mmorpgs more, but it also makes sense if they also wouldnt want to rip ideas straight from games
I used to play Dragon Oath and tbh Lotus healer class was OP as heck. But yeah Healers are usually awful for pvp.
Have these authors never played RPG games? Easiest solution was to lose their ranking as a guild and just turn into a green guild.
There are usually 2 types of guilds, green ones that don't participate in open world pvp and red guilds that can participate in open world pvp. Green guild cannot pvp in open world BUT they also cannot be attacked by other players that are members of the red guild. Red guild can pvp in open world but that also means that others can also kill their members in open world.
Most often there is some kind of guild type of pvp but that a different part of the game (and map), it's not open world so it's not like ppl can ambush you.
The easiest solution was to just turn green for a while. They would probably lose their ranking because mostly red guilds can rank since it takes into account how many pvp points you get.
