I find that the place that it happens most is during the Council of the Illidari. With how much maneuvering there is during that fight due to the “don’t stand in the fire!” mantra, sometimes the tank dips a little lower than some people seem to feel is safe. Yet in two seconds I’m capable of applying both a bubble (which can be done on the move!) and a heal that not only heals him for 6,000 health but also reduce damage by 3% — a buff I try to keep on the tank for the entire duration of the fight!

One of the worst offenders is another healer who recently went Retribution. When he switches back to Holy for a fight, I make sure to call healing on his target every time it drops even a smidgen of health. I hope he catches on soon…

Seriously. Trust the healers to do their job.

I never get yelled at to heal now… and people almost expect the boomkek to die from stupid shit. ;)

Thanks Auric for linking my rant which followed the arrival of a new warrior to our guild. After a little quiet word, he spent an hour locating the offensive add-on and removing the “..calls for healing” part. I think I was probably without chocolate when I wrote my blog, but it is something that has bothered me for a while.

A mage friend replied on my blog and said he has similar feelings about being asked to re-sheep (pig/penguin, whatever), so I’m going to watch my vent chat on that one – I do only usually shout if the said sheep is eating me (I hope).

“Oh, that’s a good idea, now why didn’t I think of that?”

Sometimes the recipient is smart enough to lol. If they don’t I hover my mouse over the Astral Recall, though I’ve not clicked yet, the group rarely lasts much longer anyway.

I’m a lot more cautious about switching from my healing assignment after I wiped the raid on Prince, the best anyone is going to get from me is a chain heal bounce, and they’d better be grateful!

But I had – one of the healers who’d fallen right at the start. I told him politely to not presume I didn’t know my main class and spec.

Screw him tbh. Screw him.

To be fair, how many wipes have you seen that wiped after pulling the number of mobs the party was supoose to and can handle as apose to overpulling? I struggle to think of any

Seriously though? She’s right. It’s all I do during a raid. Watch that corner of my screen and put HoTs on people. If you need healing, I KNOW THIS. In fact, if you look, there’s a 90% chance that there’s already a HoT on you. If not, I’m in the middle of getting around to it.

If you’re DPS, you can stop and bandage. A dead DPS = no DPS. It’s more effective for you to stop and bandage than to keep going if the healers are currently busy.

Heal yourself, or wait for us. Say “heal me”… well. I hope you like the taste of floor.
