your healer may hate you.

I mean in expert though it's pretty much faceroll at this point. You might have had a bad time in ampa hard I'm guessing? Sometimes that first pull can suck if your tank can't mitigate. I feel really bad for low geared pallies, because all they do is flash flash flash to keep up with enmity, as the dps and I are doing 1600-1800+ each on aoe (in antitower at least). xD

Right? It's the same with Hallowed Ground. It's great for humongous pulls. Reset hp and half the mobs are almost dead.

I'd love to know what dungeons you're doing, because there's absolutely no way even i240 DPS are killing trash packs in the current experts before a WHM can go out of MP with Holy. Unsynced level 50 dungeons maybe?

I mean where else in a dungeon are you gonna need bene for other than trash?

FTFY /10char

I love how people act like bene's got some super important use in a dungeon there for it should be saved ... Bye Felicia

You don't need healers for the current expert dungeons anyway so I don't really care if they hate me. Everything hits like a level 50 mob. It's stupid.

Dang. Wish I got paired with DPS that could kill entire rooms in <2 GCDs.

I apologize as a healer that there are so many other healers out there who want to watch netflix while repeatedly spamming that cure/physick/benefic button and not exert any effort in any way. Any healer who doesn't mind putting even a shred of effort in it won't mind as long you're using CDs and actually take as little damage as possible/avoiding what's avoidable

Going oom in an expert? This is news to me DPS must really be bad in the dungeons you do or you're healing tanks that don't pop CDs. If I do get a whm healer I'll tell them flat out when I use LD I expect a Bene then go into cycling my cds when I see it go off (when I pull a gigantic pull and it's up). In the time LD is popped, and goes off into walking dead, a healer can DPS a ton then in the last 3-5 seconds benediction. It's what good healers do.

Use communication and don't be an ass just ask the DPS to step it up and the tank to pop CDs. If you yourself as a healer isn't doing their part then step it up too I don't how many healers I get paired with that just spam heal me while being half AFK then when I do pull a lot and pop all of my CDs they don't pop things like Synastry or Divine Seal and complain.

^ This

I generally aim to have the dungeon cleared before the healer has time to formulate an opinion about me. Ideally, they should still be too engrossed in their TV show to notice.

I wish I had a gil every time I saw these "Dear tank, why does this dungeon run not play out exactly the way I envisioned it my head" threads. You can't tank without generating aggro. Let experience, not opinion, be your guide. #backseattanking
