Are you a healer or a tank in almost all games you choose?

Never wondered why your choice of role almost always ends up in the same way?

1.)

As a tank you are responsible to take all the threats from enemies to face you, to protect the others in your group from direct damage.

You are the front person in the group and you will be in the spotlight of attention. Whatever mistake you may do will not go unnoticed.

So being a tank is about responsibility and careful actions.

2.)

As a healer you have the role to protect everyone in your group, from dying and from too much damage. You need to focus all your attention on health bars and to add buffs if needed.

If you, as a healer dies, everyone in your group will face the same destiny. You have a huge role to keep everyone alive.

3.)

Maybe you are a support class? Making sure that not only will you do damage but also help protect people in your group. Your eyes will be focused on multiple targets at the same time.

4.)

And last we have the damage dealer. You need to make sure that you do everything in your power to do as much damage as you possible can do. Your eyes are focused on the enemies and only the enemies

Ok, now we had a short insight of the different roles in a game.

Now let’s go to the most interesting part of this post; why your choice of role says a lot about you as a person in real life.

You are a healer

In real life you are a caring person and like to make other people happy. You are a responsible human being who do your duties and never let anyone down. The biggest joy for you is others happiness.

You become happy when people appreciate all your hard work that you have put in.

You are a tank

In real life you like to be in the center of attention and you do everything in your power to reach where you want.

You have a strong will and you are a fighter. You probably make a lot of money or want to make a lot of money. Wealth is important to you.

You probably also like to take risks to reach where you want to be.

You are a support

In real life you are a person who can handle a lot at the same time. You are flexible, reliable and a quick thinker. You want to do so much but you can feel that you don’t have enough of arms to manage it all.

You probably have a lot of different ideas and projects going on at the same time.

You are a damage dealer

In real life you are a little bit shy and don’t like to be in the center of attention. You prefer to do stuff like you always have done it or how you feel more comfortable with.

You strive for one goal and you take the safest path to reach there.

Then we have those who choose different roles, who can’t decide.

The multi role

This person haven’t found their true passion in life yet or have found it but is not satisfied with his or hers current choices.

It’s a person who is too kind and have a problem to say “no”.

Wants to do so much different stuff in life but don’t know where to start since the brain is constantly running high on ideas.

Last words

This is my own personal opinions about roles and how they represent peoples personalities in real life.

Take it as something fun and nothing else!
