Bad healers think that.
My personality as a medic - ze healing is not as rewarding as ze hurting
I love being a healer. Guess I should do some self discovery
What about Doc in siege? I don’t feel like he’s a bottom.
The only time I had fun being a healer was when I made a shaman in WoW, and it’s mostly because it was like being a cleric in D&D; a tank that can heal. I would do BGs and invariably wreck fools who thought targeting the healer would be easy. 😈
In Bad Company 2 the medic class can kill people with the defibrillator, which is fun. Sneak up behind an oblivious enemy and shock them to death.
In the original Team Fortress (and maybe TFC, I don’t really remember) the medic gave people on the other team AIDS if they used their healing pack weapon on them.
Goddamn I loved BC2
The cleric in D&D that I had the most fun with made it so that my Magic Missiles were still useful at level 15+. She had decided early on that reach-spell was a feat that was absolutely needed, and would routinely stock a few reached Harm spells. This meant that she had a 25’ “Touch Attack” that ignored armor, and dex bonus. All you get is natural armor. If she successfully “touched” you, you now have 4 HP and a host of debuffs. Cue Magic Missile, and at that level I don’t even have to roll because I am going to do between 10 and 20 points of damage, that cannot miss.
The first time we used it, she snuck attacked the boss in the middle of him monologuing, and I killed him in one move from each of us. DM started handing us three to four BBEG as boss fights after that.
I’m a cleric on undeath and indulgence in Pathfinder and it’s great. Really good healing and can call down huge blasts of fire and summon a demon friend. I consider it a switch who brings their own threesome.
In the early days of Rift there was a mage build that used a bunch of attacks to target what the tank was targeting and would build your crit chance to 85%+ and then crit heal the tank for their entire bar. The tanks absolutely hated it, but it was the most fun healing I’ve done across 10+ MMOs, MOBAs, and arena shooters
Chloromancer? Yeah, I remember RIFT fondly, and I feel sad that Gamigo are milking the rotten husk of Trion Worlds out of every last cent before they inevitably shut all their games down.
Bottoming? Your life is in my hands, fools!
Okay, so power bottoming.
About to say, I’ll be kind, but you wanna sass me? When I kept your ass alive in the fire? When I’m topping your DPS while pulling the tank outta the red? Bitch, I’ll keep myself alive while I walk outta here.
Don’t cross your healers. We might sometimes be sluts for some praise, don’t mean we’ll take shit.
sluts for praise
bro you really didn’t have to word it like that mane cmon
“Healers aren’t bottoms but also did I do a good job healing you today~ uwu”
At least it’s an interesting role. I’ve always played FPS, which seems so vanilla. And I play ESO solo a lot, so about 25% of the time I forget to take off the Ring of the Pale Order when I do dungeons, which prevents being healed.
Maybe it’s time to try my hand at a bottom build.
Healing is a very interesting experience, for me. You need a whole new level of awareness, as you’re now watching what everyone is doing, and need them working in line to best do your job. Resource management is on a whole other level when you now have all of yours, the entire parties health and buffs, and whatever the boss has counting down.
It’s a very active style of play, especially once triage comes in. When shit hits the fan, you need to decide who you can even try to save, and if they’re worth saving. I’ve had times that I left a DPS on the ground because it was quicker to just start dumping all I had into burning down the boss, and grab 'em up after the fact.
Then comes in the fun of having multiple healers. You gotta work out who’s taking what chunk, if and when you need to cover each other, and half the time you might end up healing the wrong people, because at some point you stop seeing the names. It’s just health bars and cool downs. Nothing matters except keeping those bars just full enough.
I gotta say I always appreciate the healer. Not sure I’d have the mental bandwidth to do a good job.
It takes the right kind of person. I don’t know what, exactly, is broken in us, but there’s just something about all the chaos and going “Yeah, I can turn this into order”. People thought I was kidding when I told them tanking was me taking a mental break. Hell yeah, it was, shout at things, make sure to use my squishes as fart-targets, and just shut my brain off and let all of the rage I’ve built up keeping idiots alive out by smashing this things face in.
Y’all debating if DPS or Healers are bottoms and sleeping on the bottomest role of all, the Tank.
Being a Tank is all about getting a train run on you until you can barely move and then leaning in for some aftercare. And you do barely any penetrating. It doesn’t get more submissive than that.

So, they’re power bottoms?
Eh, only works for specific games. Medics and healers are purposely badass in a bunch of games specifically because of this attitude and the need to make sure people play the class.
Healer mains: when you get sick of nobody healing so you do it yourself, only to realize you enjoy people appreciating your hard work. It’s the start of a long road that ends in wanting to be railed by the best DPS main 😔
The only downside is you eventually end up hanging out with so many healer mains that you get forced to DPS 😫
I was so pissed when OW2 limited teams to a single tank. They were such a good fallback when I didn’t get to heal.
i am once again asking people to stop conflating bottoming and subbing
bottom means your on the bottom, sub means your submissive. you can be a dominant bottom and a submissive top. i’ve been both
anyways healers will dom you, it’s tanks that will be submissive. we’re masochists
If healers are bottoms, they’re power bottoms.
There’s a moment where it stops being about “I can heal my entire party!” and it becomes “I choose who lives and dies” and finally “If I choose wrong the raid is lost”
Are you kidding? Healers are the ultimate in big dom(me) energy. We hold all the power. You will beg us on your knees for just a taste. What’s that baby? You got yourself all beat up and now you need some hit points do you? Just a few little hit points to keep you going? You little slut. You little hp whore. Say you want it slut. Say you want that healing so bad. Say you’ll do anything for it.
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
-a power bottom
Buddy, oh buddy.
The power bottom is the DPS.
No, you know what, scratch that.
DPS are bratty subs.
They act all tough, they push your buttons, but they know they want that healing so bad. Thirsty little bitches.
Yeah my Mistress plays a healer. As a bottom I’m way more of a tank
That’s hot. Power me up, doctor.
LMAO! I mean they basically extend your HP bar to infinity, limited only by their cooldowns and mana pool.
It’s OK, I’m a bottom so it makes sense that I’d play healer
