Dear Conjurors who are new to MMO's

[Mythrella]

Better learn the job early becuse higher lvl dungeons are no joke for healers.

I'm soooo glad to hear this from a 50.

Honestly I've been pretty bored healing dungeons up to 30.

I love healing in games, which is why MMOs with no real trinity (GW2 for example) lose their appeal quickly. I like a challenge in that trinity though, or else I start napping at the keyboard.

Just a friendly reminder, you're primary role is healing. In almost half of my dungeon runs conjurors have completely forgotten to heal and had the part wiped out.

Eh, just ranting i guess.

Good, advice.. I have played with great tanks.. Some like the poor guy who just died in the last fight in toko even though we won the engagement. He pulled all the mobs off me and the damage plus poison was too much for him we won because of him.

We are all learning, I feel a bit like a failure if anyone dies during the dungeon runs, but then again, with no failures, victories loose their lustre.
In the years that I played a Paladin in EQ (spelled the ramp tank who takes the death touch), I learned a valuable lesson, don't sweat the small stuff, the dungeons will be there tomorrow, your guildies will come and go and your success is measured by your own yard stick, not dkp or kudos etc.

I don't have issues healing, I've done it in other games (daoc, wow) my main issue with pugs now are people breaking my sleep. I don't try to be a jerk about it, but If a dps breaks my sleep, I don't heal them. Too much else going on to worry about someone else's mistake.

Pretty sure most of the problem is how boring the class is early on. You literally just stand there doing nothing because all your spells are on the same global cooldown. Conj early on only have 2 spells to heal and it's boring as all heck. Now, if you get an interesting tank then you might see conj less likely to dps out of boredom. For example, I had a wonderful tank the other day literally chain pulling, reminded me of vanilla WoW back in Molten Core pulling hounds none stop. Tanks could help us out by making life more interesting. Although, it could just be those conj suck.

Hey dont hate on us Conjurers!

[Zoofro]

I love my Conjurer. Really looking forward to WHM. Ever get into a group with Zoofro Terribad you're in good hands.

[Alkimi]

There's times when WHM DPS is good though. In dungeons later on (late 40s+) 2 WHMs spamming Holy will take down trash mobs far quicker than any DD will.

It's also awesome for plumes on Garuda, if you time it right you can near enough 1 shot them with cleric stance up before they even head to the pillars.

At least some of these Conjurer's are nuking, which is SOMETHING. I've died while tanking because a CNJ ran out of the room to go look for treasure.

That's just bad playing period.
