Rant: How Clerics Are Treated

I vomited yesterday evening :( I was having a pretty bad stomach ache then...yeah you get the idea. Which brings it to my topic today: how clerics are treated. I'm sure all of us fellow clerics had experienced something bad before while healing. So I'm going to tell a story. It was one of my WORST, most HORRENDOUS healing experience ever, which totally made me want to vomit.

The day started normal enough. I was asking for a Dragon's Tomb party and someone partied me. There were two tanks in the party: a fighter and a trickster. The rest of the party was made up of mages. Everything was fine until we reached Cornelius, where things really started going wrong. Cornelius had feared the fighter, and spawned some Fire Titans at the same time. The Fire Titans started going after me, but when the fighter got un-feared, instead of helping me get rid of the mobs, he started an aggro battle with the trickster! I was okay when the mages didn't come and help because I knew their defence sucks. But oh my god, the fighter should be able to see that the cleric is in trouble! I was tryin to heal 3 people at the same time (including myself) and so I had to use alot of my HP potions (yes, even clerics need those). I'm glad I brought them! In the end, when the fighter had aggro, the trickster came to help me get rid of the Fire Titans. He was nice enough to apologize for the inconvenince, but the fighter didn't apologize. I mean, come on, he was the one who started it!

My point here is: keep an eye out for your fellow clerics. Just because we are clerics doesn't mean that we are heal bots. Clerics are human, you know. There's a person behind the computer screen. Give us some attention and care, and we can do our job better. When you blame the cleric for doing something wrong, reflect yourself: am I doing the right thing, or did I do something that the cleric couldn't manage? I know there are some very bad clerics out there, but still, give them some respect.
