Zosyn 8 Report post Posted January 17, 2017 Hello, I have mainly leveled up through dungeons as it is my preferred method on PvP servers. Currently sitting at lvl 30. In many of my groups, I am SHOCKED at how many tanks I run with who 100% entrust me with the responsibility of holding aggro on boss's adds or targets that are not skull. Did 17 runs in SFK, and 14 of those runs I would die to the adds that spawned on the houndmaster boss. As a healer, I fully embrace the responsibility of healing the entire group as efficiently as I can, dispelling debuffs, maintaining 100% uptime of buffs, appropriately interrupting casts, contributing some dmg on mobs if no healing is needed. However, I cannot do my role when I have 3 adds on me and neither the tank nor the dps do anything about helping out. I can't heal while moving. I think primarily tanks need to develop more situational awareness and dps ought to leverage their class mechanics of Deathcoil/pets/fear/sheep/stuns/frost nova to decrease the pressure on the healers. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now some dps are mouthbreathers and the tanks can't do miracles but if the adds are on the healer then the tank is the mouthbreather. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

medivh1 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2017 Its not easy to hold aggro on a few mob. Healer need to spec in reduced aggro and try start healing as late as they can. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taladril 43 Report post Posted January 20, 2017 Speccing in reduced threat for healing is wasted talent points. If a tank can't keep agro off of the healer with mobs (I'm not talking a hit here or there but real issues) then the tank flat out sucks or the tank is literally not wearing tank gear and the healer is having to spam heals just to keep him alive. Neither of those situations are reasonable for a successful group. Healers always are going to be at the bottom of the threat table. DPS can easily strip a mob off the tank so it's not a surprise when it happens but blaming the healer for mobs attacking him is just ridiculous. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
