People never notice you as healer until you screw up. Just work on the assumption that everything bad is your fault to save arguments.

Been that way in every MMO ever…
- DPS have no idea how to do their job
- DPS are incapable of using abilities to mitigate damage
- DPS seem determines to pull all aggro at every opportunity
DPS die from their own incompetence and then blame the healer and/or Tank! 
New World is not unique in this issue, DPS are morons in every MMO.

Yeah, they like to blame everybody but themselves for their own incompetence. That’s human nature. The dumbest thing you can do is crap on your healer. These guys and gals aren’t a dime a dozen like DPS.
Hey, a tank here. I paired with a healer I know IRL and we are always on voice, playing together and I love how we care about each other. We follow an old rule: if a tank dies, that’s healer fault, if healer dies it’s tank’s fault. If dd dies it’s their own fault.

DPS role often brings the bottom of the barrel, that isn’t to say there aren’t good ones, but the idea of support roles often seems to much for people, the ones that choose dps because it’s easiest are usually the ones incapable of not standing in front of the boss, don’t kill adds, dont peel for healer, don’t use potions, etc. The worst is the ranged dps that don’t let the tank initiate the pull, then i spend the whole fight spam healing into someone with a plastic bag for armor, while he runs around trying to survive, then the worst part… they do it all over again as if no lesson could possibly ever be drilled into their skull.

Imagine complaining about pve.
Accept the facts PVE players are just bad
thats not human nature thats human immature and common in western societies ^^
if someone dies its the teams fault, we fight and die together.
gamers are too often selfish and egotistical and lack social competencies, thats all.
To be fair - not all DPS are morons. However, pretty much all the morons play DPS because it’s a shared job so they can hope the other two DPS in the group will cover for their incompetence.

It’s not a western issue, I see this behaviour from people all over the world.

My 2 cents on this:
- oh yes, they do: standing next to the mob/boss spamming damage skills as fast as fingers allow it because that is the very definition of DPS
- of course, mitigating or - even more bad - dodging reduces DPS significantly
- this is because the tank s*cks, he can’t keep up with the aggro the DPS produces
have to kinda agree with attix here or, the boss’s have weird aggro pull, when I’m in armine as a musket/hatchet dps, no matter what anyone else does, on the final boss I will always get the aggro,
Genius post. Doesn’t even matter if this was ironic, you really made my day, mate!
Part of the DPS job/responsibility is to NOT go 100% if it will pull aggro. Spamming ability “as fast as your fingers will allow” is bad play.
Next time I’m gonna mark my post with a big fat blinking IRONY / SARCASM tag. Sorry I didn’t do that in the first place.
It’s like this in every MMO since forever. Everyone does everything to make our job harder and when something goes wrong we are the first to get blamed. When in a good group or you pull everyone’s butts out of the fire by the skin of your teeth it’s all worth it.

Ok, by bad… I legit read that as you blaming the tank when DPS is going ham.
No no. This is exactly the reason @darkskynight’s post made me rolling on the floor. He’s either far better than me in being ironic or he just proofs the DPS’ menthality we’re talking about to the fullest. 
i hope nobody got offended and if you did i don’t actually care
