Why do people hate on tanky healers?

[Yumi_umi]

Contrast this with your idiot neighbor who owns a golf cart with a water cooler. He might bumble around a bit--maybe hit a tree or two--in that cart and maybe lose more water than you in one trip, but his margin for error is larger since he\\'s got that cooler and all. Also, he is likely moving faster than you.

So technically ur saying healer #1 is better than healer #2
If healer #1 was given the same tools as healer #2, healer #2 would be vastly outperformed given the fact that healer #1 skills were sharpened thru the lack of tools while healer #2 was used to having everything in arms reach thus making them more dull.

So if we both owned a water cooler and a golf cart, who would most likely win?

great story

Exactly!

@OP, No one hates you when you can outheal your current content with tank acc and 30 VIT. But don't expect to be in any end game content like T5 (currently) where healing less would mean more stress on other people. Everyone have their role pretty much tested to the limit, they do not need an additional burden so that some WHM can be a tank-wanna-be.

So if we both owned a water cooler and a golf cart, who would most likely win?

Skill is long out of the question, you do not have the tool to take the discussion further into skill. You lost when you have no tool, just like you lost a race when everyone is using a car and you are on foot. Irregardless of skills, you lost before the race could even start. You lost at the starting point.

You know why do people hate (I don't, I myself play a bit different style too - I don't stack crit as SCH) tanky healers like you?

It's very likely not because of your performance, but due to you feeling entitled to convince everyone else that your style of playing the game is actually better and you can't listen to basic arguments and keep saying your stuff even if you have been proven wrong by many, many people.

You seem to enjoy yourself more trying to prove your arguments more then actually playing the game.

There are 17 pages already where people explained to death to you what is the reason. If you still feel the need to go on and on, there is something wrong with you.

Using i90 accessories melded with VIT for the extra HP might be a "thing" for Turn 9 while people are undergeared for the fight (which they probably will be at first). Taking the current coil as an example I know many healers (inclduing myself) who used i70 accessories with VIT when we were learning to beat Twintania, just because we didn't quite have the HP yet to survive fireballs. However I'll never use pure tank accessories, that's just gimping myself.

ill stick with stacking mnd so when I do get a lapse in healing i can throw CS on and have more DPS. As a whm in full heals i90 gear its just as easy to overheal yourself in those situations without the tank items equipped. Yes Ive had bad tanks turn titan (HM and EX) around and MB the entire party. an extra 1k health or a bit more isnt going to change the world.

Being a tanky healer essentially means: "I can't dodge so SS myself and I don't need to dodge everything" but what you don't seem to realise is that your Cure II is similar to other people's cure I there will be times you need to solo a fight, i.e. your partner gets landslided off the map and you cant raise him, in these cases you are really going to suffer. Don't Amake the fight harder for your tanks because you need more VIT to avoid damage you shouldn't be taking. all fights are designed so that if you meet the iLvl requirement you can survive all unavoidable damage, e.g. tumults. Finally if you want to tank Caduceus go to the MRD or GLA guild and be a tank.

P.S. only read half this thread so apologies for any repeated info.

As soon as he gets landslided and takes a dirt napped then i think that is called getting carried. So if i had to solo heal which i could, means i am all the better healer.
Lol u should have seen when i let the other ilvl 80 something healer take a dirt nap for the whole fight. So hilarious, because the other healer to no avail is forced to be carried.
They get mad, i solo heal perfectly fine, party stay happy , other healer knows they suck and then proceed to swear and leave.

So you purposefully let another member stay dead the whole fight because you were on a power trip to prove yourself? Yeah I would think they would get mad even if you did beat it.

What was point of this topic when anytime posts why they dont like gimped healers wearing accessories from other classes and you go on offensive? This topic seems more and more troll like.
