Is it just me or is healing threat outrageous?

The big problem is that overheal counts towards hate generation. If I set up a few regens it might become very troublesome.

It's so stupid that monster hate the guy that healing people from 20 feet away more than the warrior who's kicking his ass infront of him.

Not really. It simulates intelligence, if you'd see some mob healing the one you're currently trying to kill, your first reaction will be to kill the healer off first.

This just forces you to think whether you dump a cure II or a cure I on the target. On mid-level encounters keeping up regen and an occasional cure I is mostly enough and I don't pull hate off DD/tanks that way. Simply dumping your strongest heal on every hp drop won't only pull too much hate, but also exhaust your mp pool pretty fast. A healer without MP = wipe

I suddenly feel like I lack intelligence now, since the first time I saw a mob heal the one I was attacking I... saw it as a challenge and tried to lower it's health faster than it was being healed >_>...

Wasn't particularly fond of the wording on your reply, are you suggesting I am an incapable healer that only throws out the strongest heals? Please don't try to teach me how to heal.

I just started playing CNJ in beta phase 3 and enjoyed it in beta. Now though it seems everyone is quick to blame me no matter how I heal, ie: Tank yelling that I let his hp get too low when I am trying to keep enmity down, dps saying I let them die when higher level dungeons use all my mp for tank only, Party ignoring me when adds pop. I am at the point where I just don't know if healing is worth it anymore. You really cant make anyone happy at all.

This is common in just about any MMO. Healers get to be the uniform scapegoat regardless of what really happened. First, don't let it get to you. If you are doing your job correctly then take pride in that. Second, find a free company or a group of regulars that will appreciate your healing skills and work with you rather than blaming you. Lastly, we all make mistakes so just let any you do make go. If you hold on to that stuff you'll psych yourself out of healing all together.

In the end some people never want to accept that it is their fault and you won't be able to do anything about that other than leave the party and find another group to heal for.

If the tank has an HP deficit and your heal can heal that deficit without overhealing, cast it. If he loses aggro, that's on him and you should tell him as much.

Healers have to cover for the faults of every other player, whether its standing in AoE, crap DPS, or tanks not using defensive cooldowns properly. It's thankless and it's easily the hardest job in an MMO. It's not about making people happy, it's about winning. If your trying to make folks happy by healing, your going to get burned out.
