What is the superior role and why is it healer? It is the one that requires the largest IQ. Closely followed by tank.

Healbot and jamboy only exist to make me look cooler

>>717957848 (OP)
dps is the most important role. dps higher, tank and heal for less.

Healer is the best and EVERYONE knows this, some people just pretend otherwise.

Healer is the one who compensates for the flaw of everyone else in the team.

The tank needs to know the dungeon layout. DPS only has to know their own rotation. The healer has to know not only what everyone else in the party knows, but also their own class better than themselves.

If a DPS dies you finish the boss ~25% slower. If the tank dies the healer busts a cooldown while the tank makes it back. If the healer dies you're done.

The healer plays 4D chess while everyone else in the team isn't even playing chess, let alone at 4D. The healer is a selfless hero sacrificing their own peace for the chance of letting other party members have fun nobraining the content. An unsung, extraordinary champion of righteousness and happiness - these are the healers.

DPS is the primary measure of party success, and every player in the party can contribute to that value by making Tank and Healer secondary roles to a DPS primary.

healer and tank are equally important
dps is artificially needed when there are enrage mechanics at play, otherwise a competent healer and a competent tank can duo any content

there's a reason women are always given the healing role, and fat retards are given the tanking role.

>literally just worse DPS with non-combat utility
Why do thieves/rogues always get the short end of the stick?

>>717958432
The power fantasy of becoming invisible and instakilling everyone through backstabbing is not really viable in MMORPGs, but the role must still be kept alive artificially because it is among the founding myths of the RPG genre I guess

status afflicter is the best and most interesting

>>717958432
That's why you invest in magic

non-healer Support and/or utility

>>717958203
i read that in aqua's voice damn you

>>717958651
You read it japanese?

>>717957848 (OP)
healer requires the most IQ? I assume you have never played FFXIV

it's tank. everyone else is irrelevant and just meant to be cheerleaders for the tank that hard carries and pushes forward while pulling aggro, killing enemies, and soaking up damage.

>>717957848 (OP)
>>717958432
Because you need to be a chad damage-dealing warrior. The all-in-one tank/DPS combo for all your small-party-count needs.

>>717957848 (OP)
Healers are usually the only ones that can carry retards. Tanks are more brainless than a DD in PvE but if its a game where they have CCs they're the high IQ PvP class.

Why is konosuba so beloved and famous compared to other anime slop

>>717958267
party success is measured by damage, but DPS is a more narrow term than "any character contributing to damage"

>>717958739
Yeah yeah, now cover yourself in jam

>>717958801
because the characters are the most fun and well written

>>717958739
>tank
>killing enemies
You clearly don't need to tank very hard if you're doing DPS too, retard.

>>717958524
Let's be real the reason to go thief is for slut fashion

>>717958801
Great characters that carry the show despite how boring the main plot is. That's it really. Aqua, Darkness and Megumin are all 10/10. Most shows would be lucky if they had a single one of these in the main cast. Konosuba is rocking three of them.

I also feel like Konosuba is very tactful with the RPG mechanics. It feels like clever satire of them without being too in your face. They are simple concepts like a masochistic tank or a DPS that can only attack once. Ironically the only highly competent party member is Aqua, but everyone thinks she is the useless one.

>>717958795
Healers are usually the retards

>>717959083
Healer the most demanding, challenging and intellectual role

>>717959132
I'm sure they believe that

I have not played MMOs in awhile but I think healer requires the highest IQ yes, I remember pre healing in raids just because I knew certain retards were going to run in to aoes. Tank is a close 2nd in terms of IQ but probably the most important overall, in MMOs a good tank can carry a bad healer the other way around is more rare, probably more so in WoW where mythic dungeon keys were fast paced. No idea how it is now

>>717957848 (OP)
is aquas pee just warm water since she purifies on contact?

>>717958923
>well written
>a malnourished midget, a stress relief punching bag, and a brainlet you can trade for some healing potion and probably come out on top

>>717959016
the plot isn't really a detriment either. it's a satire, and plot serves its role as a vehicle for that perfectly

>>717959179
No eSports org would pull off a multi-person conspiracy to hide the fact their best healer was a rapist so he could continue to heal WoW raids for a DPS.

DPS chuds are dimonddozen, drop the shitters and get a new one. But a healer? you cherish, protect and cover-up crimes for your healer...

I play healer so the tank can bust a fat nut into me after the raid

>>717958524
For me, the rogue power fantasy is throwing flurries of daggers, sniping foes with a longbow from the shadows, and using a variety of poisons.

>>717958203
>Healer is the best
At being sluts

>>717959331
more wise than you'll ever be

>>717959016
also, come on. kazuma is the competent party member. aqua is a parody of munchkins piloted by total retards, she has incredible specs but can't use them effectively. kazuma is a party leader who strategizes around his member's significant drawbacks by learning lots of niche skills to control the flow of battle

>>717959342
Probably because the others were all women or fags

>>717959540
Kazuma is a retard that has been resurrected how many times by Aqua already? Thrice?

Aqua's fuck-ups are usually unpredictable. Like when she went to the thermal waters and turned them into normal waters. How could anyone even see that coming.

>>717959224
healing in wow is always super incredibly stressful and then you get that one piece of gear and suddenly it's the most effortless thing ever.

XIV healing is always trivial since all the best healing is OGCD and every fight is scripted down to the second.

>>717959814
noooooo

>>717959224
There are two ways to heal in WoW

The first one is low IQ whack-a-mole like what holy priest does. It is casual friendly but you can only do so much with the class.

The second one is pre-healing. Your party is basically immortal if you are competent at this, but it requires knowing everything about every aspect of the game. It's the most complex playstyle in WoW but also very rewarding.

>>717959865
>1pl8
>struggling
I don't think so bud

>>717959765
I actually had the most fun healing in XIV back when it released, being able to micro manage the scholar fairy for heals felt great. But then they simplified it so you just plop the fairy down in the middle of the room and forget about it most of the time.

>>717959706
you can hardly call getting resurrected a mistake if it's just a regular ass skill in the world. it's been a minute since i read the books, but i'm pretty sure kazuma just starts including dying as a cost he might have to pay to achieve victory
also, it would be one thing if aqua accidentally purified one hot spring, but they literally get chased out of town because she can't stop fucking up

>>717959932
>you can hardly call getting resurrected a mistake if it's just a regular ass skill in the world
But it is not a regular skill in the world. You can only regularly resurrect someone once. Because Aqua is a goddess she gets to resurrect Kazuma infinitely so long as she can keep bargaining with the other goddess. This is definitely a mistake on Kazuma's part, he can't keep relying on this.

>>717958203
Based and truthful

>>717960046
well, that's also where it strays from pure satire into homage a little by allowing its characters to be heroic. they all get their moments to be more than a joke, megumin's mastery of silent casting when fighting her master was pretty incredible

>>717957848 (OP)
Depends on the game as each role could possibly be pretty low or high IQ

Always protect your healers

I'm a flanker you're on your own girlie

>>717957848 (OP)
It heavily depends on the game, but in most cases I prefer tank
>Healers usually can't do much on their own, so you can only have fun if the rest of your team/party/whatever is competent. Playing a healer in a team of retards is pure suffering
>DPS are basically expendable because their only real contribution to the group is having big damage numbers, and everyone else can deal damage too (even the tanks and healers to some extent). Also you die to a stiff breeze, so if you ever make a mistake you're fucked
Tanks in most games tend to be a nice middle ground where you get to feel like a proper team player but are still independent enough to get shit done yourself if you have to

>>717957848 (OP)
>What is the superior role and why is it healer?
>Closely followed by tank.
You're just describing the Cleric, the most OP class in D&D. Have 4 clerics, solve anything.

>>717957848 (OP)
It depends on the game. If you are playing a war game and its PVE than probably Healer. If you are playing a PVP war game than DPS. But these are based on spectrums, which depend on the ratio of damage to healing. On top of that developers can have biases, different roles can be stronger/weaker than others.
As for war remember the most important thing in war is to fight, otherwise you aren't at war. And to fight is to die. Also, you cannot take terrority without force.
Anyways, this is also just my silly opinion and people are allowed to have preferences. So this all pretty moot.
On a side note, themeing is important, but things need to be practical. While one can choose to implement any strategy or tactics, there is always the argument of what is most efficient. And in a class-based game it can be easily measured.

>>717958203
Sorry, but this boss has a DPS check. If you don't kill him fast enough the entire party gets nuked and everyone dies.

>>717957848 (OP)
What is Kazuma's job/class again?

Thief, he doesn't even do damage in battle lol

>>717960552
Boom, done.

>>717965269
He only needs to do one thing and he does it exceedingly well

What an absolutely dogshit MC

Kaname-kun...

Can you guys recommend me a decent ecchi anime to watch? Preferably 1 where sexual tension ensues to the guy unexpectedly constantly.

>Sissy healers cope thread
Lol how about you suck my cock, princess?

Aqua is a Mary Sue holding back.
She has no real weakness and stands alone at the top of her world.
She is best DPS, TANK, support, healer, dispel, etc. etc..

>>717965906
This is best friend behavior

>>717959016
Megumin is literally the most powerful one when she can do her once a day attack.

>pantsu
not canon

>>717957848 (OP)
Depends on how well supports and tanks do damage, because if they're oldschool and take a year to kill anything, then DPS is superior simply because it saves time when leveling etc

>>717958801
A lot of people hate it though but generally, it's because it's a comedy that's actually relatively funny. Also, the characters are genuinely fun. It's far from the best anime though, but it's definitely one of the best if not the best shitsekai, not that that's a high hurdle, but still.

>>717958554
and it contributes fuckall because the bosses are always immune to effects.
