Hitters

The term hitter is used to define all members of a group who are not tanking or healing. The role of the hitter (or hitters) in the group is to inflict damage onto the mob, and as such hitters can be of any class and will usually wear equipment to maximize their damage to the mob. In contrast the role of the healer is to keep the tank and group healthy, with any damage they inflict a bonus. The distinction between hitter and healer means that a cleric is not necessarily a healer in a group, nor are characters of other classes precluded from the role of healer.
