Buff, DeBuff, DPS, of course, as I would in any other MMO.... I prefer MMOs that are designed with a more active "Healer" role... I enjoy "filling the green bars" and pulling other's arse out of the fire in a tough fight, but here combat is different and much more complex than in other MMOs. I am learning by playing the game that I can focus on filling the role as a "healer" AND focus on the Buff/Debuff/Support role as well, filling what would be in other MMOs two roles in one. This makes this MMO different than others, and here Buff/debuff/support is actually designed quite well, a refreshing change from other MMOs did not put as much design work into the "Support" aspect of the roles. I understand now what everyone above was trying to explain. So I am relearning just what "Support" means and how it's different here, and for me I had to play to get the jest of it. Playing Support is enjoyable to me and fits my temperament. I appreciate that this MMO was saved and is still going. Thanks for Homecoming project. My concerns are answered, thanks for the dialog.

Thank you everyone for clearing things up, for sharing why CoH is different. I just came to CoH for the first time ever, for that matter this is the first superhero mmo or game I have ever played ... ever ... since I began playing computer games in the 80's. I knew nothing and still know very very little.... but I did learn an important aspect of CoH and perhaps all superhero games perhaps... Healers aren't needed. I came here to Heal as a primary Role/Job. CoH isn't designed to need them from what everyone here has shared and what I've seen of the game so far. I have been playing mmos since 2001, I'm done with dps and tank roles, done with cc, I came here to heal, playing a Healer is what I wanted to do here, not going to happen apparently. Thanks for being honest so I didn't waste my time. Cya. Have fun.
