World of Warcraft®

i think all kinds heal, but i will admit I personally am a "It's cool, !@#$ happens, let's all just run back in and try again, YAY! we are having fun playing together!!!" kind of guy.

I'm calm and don't really talk that much when we're raiding. I only start going if it's going poorly and someone is screwing up, then the armory comes out, rotation starts being watched, etc.

I do type quite a bit in pugs sometimes though when things are going awful and my ire gets up XD

I will be quiet and polite in group chat, but raging in AIM and skype to my friends about how stupid everyone is. So maybe healers just get so used to dealing with bad, and being blamed, and all that, that they don't bother lashing out in chat as much?

I AM CALM, STOP SAYING I AM NOT CALM.

What is this calm stuff, and how much gold is it worth on the AH?

Calm: a Rating of your state of mind from Calm to Berserk, 0/10000, with 0 being Calm and 10,000 being Berserk.

Price per healer rating point 2c, price per healer negative rating point, 1,000,000g.

I am calm in vent and chat and while healing but when people wipe the group for things that are easily avoidable(speaking of my raid team) i weave a tapstry of profanity at the screen. Though i never let it show.

I never really found it calming to heal until I tried Holy Paladin. Because I feel more in control over heals I find it more relaxing, thus I am more in the zone.

Yo.

I did that ones...but forgot I had my hand on my vent button....

Hodir, he was getting ready to cast Flash Freeze, the snow patches dropped like normal, I got onto one....flash freeze went off....and suddenly 9 people are frozen solid, NONE are anywhere near the safe spots....and all that is left is my little H pally self as I run to the arcane mage and try to break her out before hodir eats my face.

I said this into vent "Woah, wait, what? Come ON GUYS! This Sh!t isn't that hard, a Monkey could do it! Come on come on come on! Bubble, bubble!! Exo, come on exo crit! Dammit! 20k left, almost there...... Bubble's gone, holy light spam and drop Consecrate! Come on come on, almost there.......crap, ok, dead now....whoopee!" without realizing and was met with the following from my best friend, and arcane mage whom I was trying to break out of the ice "Ok, lets take a break....." and was whispered that I should probably keep such comments to myself next time....

I'm the calmest person I know and all I really want to do now is heal. Tanking used to be sorta fun, it just got too stressful as I got to higher levels. Sitting back and clicking people on grid works for me. No I don't use "hotkeys" because I use clique.

i'm perfectly calm
ignore that entire rant, where I went off on the tank and 2 of the 3 dps, for being dumber than a rock, having questionable genetic stock, and for doing a combined DPS that was lower than a tuna sandwich

Ok the subject line was not allowed to be big enough so here it is: does healing attract calmer individuals vs other roles. I noticed in raiding a lot of guys like to tank. It is a very macho thing. I am not a macho dude I find healing more enjoyable than any other role. I have tanked and dps in a raiding environment as well and it is not as good as healing. When things hit the fan it is the healers that must stay calm and systematically make sure everyone lives to fight another day.

My GM is a very motherly type lady and is a fantastic tank and raidleader. And she spoils the guild rotten :) The best healer I've "worked" with, was this very type A personality guy. He was a friendly guy, but boy was he aggressive. Go figure.

I yell at others when they mess up, or I feel like a piece of !@#$ and yell at myself when I mess up. Hyper-focused..ish?

I am also a MACHO MAN AND I TANK FROM TIME TO TIME WITH BIG MUSCLES.

Hmm most commanly regarded thing over in the tank forums about tank personaility type would be control freak having to be in charge and in control, and some what perfectionist not necessariliy macho. Macho is a very lose term to describe things to many things in a person can be macho or not macho.

Now for healing i am calm mostly when i do heal, but i am calm wether i dps, tank or heal. i am a strong beliver in stress leds to mistakes from over thinking it to much and anyone who plays this game in the raiding or HM raiding scene is like that.

I dunno what the personaility type of healers, basing this off all the healers i have known would be somewhat perfectionist, sorta the caring kind of person (sorta like doctors and nurses don't care about you as a person but want to make sure your healthy that kind of caring), quieter, not the take charge kind of person, a certain need to be in control however, and florishs under preasure.

is all i can think of really.

In 5-mans, I am pretty calm as they are fairly easy.

In raids, I tend to be less calm, and spend most of the time jumping in between casts. Yay for druid healing! I have no idea why I jump around so much during a raid fight, it just happens. I don't just run out of Warmaster's Shockwave, I leap out of it.

In PvP, I am everything but calm. "Get this <expletive deleted> pally off of me!"

I can't say I've noticed any correlation between roles in the game and personality.

This.
DPS bores me and tanking isn't very exciting anymore either.

I heal because I've done it for years, and it's what I'm used to. Persona has nothing to do with it.
