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”
“Helping people is gay”
Is topping in this situation not gay? Are we doing Roman rules?
It’s a joke, not a dick. Don’t take it so hard.
Peak t-shirt slogan humor, I’m sure. Very ironic. 👍
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.
LMAO! I mean they basically extend your HP bar to infinity, limited only by their cooldowns and mana pool.
Yeah my Mistress plays a healer. As a bottom I’m way more of a tank
That’s hot. Power me up, doctor.
-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.
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 love being a healer. Guess I should do some self discovery
Say classes that depend on a healer being active behind them ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
DPS when they don’t have a healer stuffed firmly up their ass:
runs straight at enemies and dies within half a second
Right in the cuddles of death.
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 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.
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 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.
How to not get any healers and reveal yourself as a self-centered ass
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?
They use their legs to generate thrust. How else do you think they’d be able to take care of everyone all at once?
I play healer sometimes because it’s a fun gameplay challenge to keep bumbling idiots alive long enough to get a victory.
Switch 🫵
Power bottom
Pfft, try Tanking.
DPS: how DARE YOU fail to prevent me from drawing aggro and killing myself!
Also DPS: y u no parse good?
I swear DPS players are just jerks:
Me: Applies continuous healing and damage resistance to DPS
DPS: Walks right through multiple DoT inflicting AOEs and into the middle of a huge group of enemies immediately dying.
DPS: How dare you not keep me alive!I tried returning to WoW (Classic) after a 10 year absence, thought I’d try tanking for a change instead of healing. Deadmines, what could go wrong?
Well, one mage managed to not only constantly draw agro from me, he also bumbled into the next group of mobs while the rest was still regaining mana again and again. Looted the box that starts that boss fight with a Tauren while the rest was not ready and wiping the party as a result. After that we all concluded that pressing on wasn’t going to work. Fucking hell, never gotten such a toxic shit load of crap in my chat ever before, he sent me a book’s worth of profanities all because “I sucked at tanking” according to him. Decided then and there that this was not the way how I wanted to spend my free time. When I quit WoW I already noticed that the social aspect was going down the drain, apparently it hasn’t gotten any better during my absence.
I’ve never even played WoW, it’s just a universal experience in Tanking. PUGs, raiding, doesn’t matter. Everyone shits on the tank and healer.
DPS: Imma wipe the party by drawing aggro during a scripted positional AoE that the tank carefully aimed away from everyone!
If healers are bottoms, they’re power bottoms.
Bad healers think that.
I’m nowhere near as into MMOs as I was years ago, but I honestly preferred non-DPS roles. Healing was my forte and I actually feel proud of myself for nearly clearing Icecrown Citadel Heroic during my WoW heyday. Had to quit several weeks into joining a decent guild because of sixth form.
Dunno whether it’s a European thing but I’ve always found MMO (and MOBA) communities to be toxic-as-fuck and that’s what turned me away from hardcore raiding. Things were once so bad that I got bullied and harassed off of a server (Turalyon EU, horde side) during my teenage years.
I could write an entire novella of negative experiences I’ve had with players in both game genres, but I’d be going off on a massive tangent.
All I’ll say is that this meme is accurate. Healers get a lot of flak when things go wrong, and it takes a certain level of masochism to actually want to play with the kind of verbally abusive, sociopathic, basement-dwelling turbovirgins that flip out with slur-filled nerd rage, messages telling you to off yourself, and wishes that you’ll die of cancer, all because you didn’t parse highly during a raid boss or didn’t carry their hardstuck asses in a Ranked League of Legends game.
The hardest part about World of Warcraft (at least from a PvE perspective) isn’t playing your class well. It’s having to wade through a community rife with elitism, gatekeeping, unattainable catch-22’s to join a raid group and toxicity. Final Fantasy XIV is a bit better, but that’s because unlike Blizzard, Square Enix actually invest in customer service and actually enforce their player conduct rules.
Toxic guilds is why I stopped playing wow. Can confirm. Also healing is both harder and more fun than dpsing when done right
Avoid EvE Online at all costs. They are the most toxic group of nice guys that just wanna kill you, that I’ve ever found.
That wasn’t my experience at all, but my guild was made up of grown ups with actual lives IRL. Sure we were pretty casual by most standards, but raiding was fun and toxicity was shut down instantly.
Yeah casual guilds don’t really have those issues because the requirements for skill at low raid tiers are so lax. Honestly the game kinda lends itself to toxicity when you play in 25-man groups, and it only takes a single person messing up in a mythic raid to ruin the pull for everyone. When it’s like that, isolating the “problem” player is going to be pretty common, and people tend to be more elitist and toxic in general when they are hiding behind a computer screen.
That’s not to say a high level guild can’t be positive and supportive, though. One of the things I like about watching RWF is that most of the high level guilds seem to have such a tight bond, and they never point fingers over a single raid wipe. They’re all in it together and come up with ways to compensate for each other’s weaknesses. But it probably helps that every player is highly invested in playing absolutely perfectly, and I’m sure getting a guild to that point requires aggressively cutting out a lot of weak links along the way 😐
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”
