If you are a WHM without Swiftcast, you are holding back your team at endgame

if someone dies its either because they failed at avoiding avoidable dmg or the healer failed at keeping them/themselves alive thru unavoidable dmg - there is no other reason to die (barring computer/ISP/game failure of course)

ppl in this thread want to replace the players who fail at covering others failures instead of replacing those that fail to begin with...it just seems an odd stance imo and one i have NEVER come across in any MMO i have played...

as i said before i have NEVER been told that i would be replaced in any group i have been in for failing to cover for others failures...

im truly wondering at this point if everyone that has this odd stance in this thread are not just trolling?

No one is talking about replacing you, but if you could have put out a res and stopped a wipe it's preferable than punishing the whole raid for one guy's mistake. If I had some guy start ranting out how it's not his job to battle res and the DPS should accept their mistakes and etc, etc, etc I'd boot him from the raid. It's just a hollow point.

instacast any skill. its a no brainer. theres no point not having it.

Right they all have it, it's just a pointless argument to defend a healers in general. It's not really "mandatory" like being at the keyboard.

blew my post limit like an idiot but I need the last word so

and if i had some guy ranting about how its the healers fault we wiped for not covering for the DPS's failure, etc Id boot him from the raid - its just an incorrect point

Yeah if a DPS messes up and a DPS check isn't met, it's the healers fault for not bringing them up. You understand fault can be assigned to more than one party, right? It's like a tank not taunting and saying "hey you pulled aggro you tank it", it's completely against the point of cooperation it's looking out for yourself and trying to make a bigger deal out of someone else's mistakes, it's the smallest thing you can do in these games and I'm glad you have people to play with who tolerate it, congratulations.
