but to not refresh, especially when the main healer is asking you to, is unforgivable. i don't care what kind of tank you have. why else are you THERE if not too refresh? to melee?! gimp n00b rdm >.> you shoulda kicked him when he stopped refreshing, and replaced him with something else. |
I completely agree. There are not always times that I can whip out the sword and whack away, but on the contrary, there sometimes ARE those times when I can, and do. I've rarely gotten any complaints for it, and when I have, I tell the complaining party that if my other duties fall to the wayside, I'll put the sword away. When it's just auto-attack, it's not terribly hard to cast spells in between. And once you've perfected your Refresh/enfeeb/haste cycle to the point that you know EXACTLY when to cast what, the only thing you need to do is watch for mob buffs and sudden dips in party members' HP. But the Red Mage melee debate is another issue entirely, and I'm not trying to hijack the thread, I swear.
And yeah, refusing to Refresh is unforgiveable. I hate people who play highly sought after jobs (like RDM or WHM) that think that just because they're so needed in a party (when really, they aren't >.>) they can do whatever they want and no one will care or complain. Especially in a situation like yours, when the experience was so perfect before he/she complained.
I swear, some people are just out to ruin others' fun.
