    I once saw someone try to claim healers in MMOs are all subs because we run support

    Every single comment was pointing out that they have it backwards. Your life is in my hands. Pray I deem you worthy of life, worm

      There’s no greater feeling of power than watching a DPS die because they were using too much of my mana that could be better spent on the tank. Sorry, I’ve decided your life isn’t worth saving, you can think about your mistakes on the ground for this pull.

    I used to play a cleric in Everquest. We used to play the ‘purple bar game’.

    If you drop to 0 hp, you fall unconscious, but you’re higher than, if I recall correctly, -20, you don’t die. Instead, you bleed for a few hp per second until you reach that threshold (or, more frequently, something hits you). When this happens, your HP bar turns purple.

    We used to make it a game to try and time heals so they didn’t land until the tank was unconscious. It resulted in many, many deaths.
