The Trinity of Player Roles (Tank - Heal - DPS)

Send us Fan MailDr. Gameology and Jenny share memories of their friend from their first raid team who passed away this week. The topic of the week focuses on explaining how player roles translate into strategies for success when playing in various team-based challenges inside MMO and other online games. A play-by-play example of how one of their fights from this week transpired is included to help newcomers understand how a raiding team has to prepare for certain tasks each night. The discussion for this style of gameplay becomes similar to other team-based games as opposed to simply logging in for escape or relaxation.Support the showIf you would like to support the show and help us unlock additional possibilities for future episodes and projects, this can now be done through Patreon!You can watch us play games LIVE and join our communities to get more connection from every episode:DrGameology on Twitch - Continue the Journey LIVE in 2025!! MarcusB814 on YouTube - BOOMBASubscribe on YouTube for more content on the Psychology of Gaming or Follow on Twitch to catch the Live Streams!
