My Smite button is the one with "Bad Motherfucker" written on it.

Okay, here's one for you: On 11/22/15, kindly discuss why you have a penchant for playing healers, when your physical world mindset relates more to meat shields.

I don't necessarily agree with the meatshield assessment; I basically play a healer in my day job, too - people need shit to do shit, i (re)supply the shit so they can do their shit. I only tank for my department, and that's because when they fuck up, they don't have to answer the phones - I do... so I am basically tanking their inability to control aggro and/or pulling before the group is ready.

Being a healer is reactive; you see who got kicked in the dick, and throw some green shit their way, or you know who is *supposed* to, and pre-emptively buff/shield them. DPS is brainless - kill shit as long as you don't overtop the aggro meter. Tanking is a pain in the ass, you have to manage everything's aggro and trust your healer is paying fucking attention.

You're a Defender, rather than a Healer. You help manage aground, and generally keep things going focusing on buffs and generally keeping people alive, rather than spamming heals. At least that is how it sounds to me.

Okay, that's a good analogy. I still associate you as a tank, though, but I get it.
