healers JOB is to heal (just keep ppl safe). amirite? sometimes things go sour and someone dies. correct. sometimes it is our fault, and so we die. this is not a flame to ANYONE. I just think IMHO good healers should pay attention to DPS, if they can. and know. they can afford the mana. resting mana, know when to cancel a heal, etc. if you have  + heal to spell that just rocks the cocks, down grade the spell if need  be. we are healers. they need us, we need us.  this is inspired by a video i just saw about a fellow elysium member's youtube, which had nothing to do with this, but he spoke of it for a moment. i remember when i first started in vanilla in 2005. i main'd a rogue. and to tell the truth i was not that good at certain raid calls or tasks. but i was taken care of as much as possible. the more the merrier. i was under geared, it was just bad. but i had heart and dedication, and a will to learn. they saw that. and eventually i was the guild leader of that guild. top raiding guild in vanilla. (not as my rogue mind you).  so yes, we know when things go awry, but can we fix it? should we let others die just because it would be easier? i dunno. depends on the situation. sometimes things get so confusing you have to make a choice, and it's understood, but we as healers should focus on doing what we can so we don't have to rez. being a lil top of with HoT. shield the Dps who took too much aggro for a sec. i know imma get flamed but, and i sound like a hippy. but when i was dps, it made me feel loved. and i kept coming back. hold on imma re-read this. yeah spelling errors prolly among other things. but i handled myself pretty well up until cata when i thought blizz went kinda sour for me. played gm pvp holy priest, handed over the reigns. gave the guild to my friend whom still has it. god i have to read it one more time. i did.

 

yours,

starbunny = elysium = ally

healers are not your peasents, respect us then expect heal

kinda...? it was more about, we should watch our main heal targets, but don't just focus on them. like, if a warlock was low, and was going to life tap, or a rogue who crit on a backstab, but yeah, healer power should be for everyone.

You're Doing It Wrong.

We shall now recite the Holy Trinity Mantra, since some of our students apparently haven't learned it and taken it to heart yet.

 

If the Tank dies, it's the Healer's fault.

If the Healer dies, it's the Tank's fault.

If the DPS dies, IT'S THEIR OWN DAMN FAULT!!

Amen.

The other day, warlock joined a pug for a leveling dungeon. Didn't soulstone anyone, didn't hand out healthstones. Before a pull, they didn't replenish mana by drinking, but life-tapped down to 20%, then used Rain of Fire immediatelly after the pull, pulled aggro, but got saved by a timely BoP. They got advised by the tank not to do that again. Next pull, they of course life-tapped down to 20% again, used Rain fof Fire, pulled aggro of several mobs. Died, the started to whine about healer sleeping on the job.

Vanilla is not WotLK, with opulent tank AoE threat generation, 40k mana and holy Lights hasted down to 1.5 sec critting for the whole health bar.

Allow me to add the supplemental rule #1 to the Mantra: You can't heal stupid.

First time I heard that was a story about a Defender in City of Heroes.  They reportedly said, "I can heal many things, but I can't heal stupid."

It's as true today as it was then.

IRL I tell my cow-orkers that if we could just bottle and sell STUPID we would be SO FREAKING RICH.  Unfortunately, there is a way to do that in Elysium Project ... we call them Gold Buyers.

 

You can lead a man to water, but you cannot make him THINK.

Go Darwin Go.
