carrying unskilled healers..

That's just abuse of the kick system my friend. Sure, it sucks to have someone who's having trouble with whatever you're trying to do, but I'd personally prefer to help them learn/improve.

I agree with helping people that don't know the content, but I'm talking about slackers. People who are obviously watching tv or multitasking rl with in-game. Those are the ones that need to be kicked.

Something I found particularly difficult when I first started my 8 mans as WHM was mana management. I would be overusing Cure II until i figured "hey if that tank has half hp bar, chances are the other healer is going to be throwing at least a cure at them" , so i switched to using Cure I unless it was a high damage phase, at which point i communicate with my co-healer to keep stoneskins up/or they take the healing while i do that.

To me, there are a lot of qualifiers as to what makes me or them "good". I prefer the term capable. The main thing for me is communication. How many times have i swifcast>raise>benediction onto MT , only to realise the other WHM has done the exact same. So, i macroed it up to say who i was raising.

What i find its good if a sch takes tanks and the whm takes the rest of the party. not in all situations im sure but cause i enter as a sch mostly when i know i can handle tanks on my own i do it and i say so. if its a phase with adds the other one will cover of OT other than that tanks are mine.

Why do people only care about recognition? :/ If you completed the content without much struggle, what's the big deal? If the other healer is seriously slacking, bring it to the party's attention and kick them.

Its a pad in the back for doing a good job. we want people to know that we carried the damn party through the thick of it and survived. Its our proud moments. If you dont feel it its on you but most of us would like to at least get a damn commendation as an apriciation of our competence.

Prove it. if he is not clearly afking, or offline you run for a kick abuse.

My SCH buddy and I take a much different approach. We either are both keeping tanks up and party to a certain degree - with him being primary over keeping tanks up and me being primary on raid healing -- OR I will take over most heals while he goes into DPS mode, especially in T8 since that fight is so easy to do it in. His fairy still heals and he can use lustrate while in cleric's. He'll swap for heavy incoming damage phases and swap back afterwards.
