Healers tanking low level dungeons

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

We've been over this before, Ellatrix. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Not defending a tank who's going too slow, but there's plenty of better ways to handle that situation.

And besides. . . in leveling dungeons? Really?

I do it cuz my golden rule is if no one dies and enemies die then idc how the tanks feel cuz ik for a fact dps don't care cuz all they want is for stuff to stand still and die fast. They don't care if ur hp while tanking stays at 80%+, they just care if u get it done clean and fast.
If tank gets pissed off etc then let them, these dungeons can technically be solo'd * takes a while/ lots of kiting * , duod or trio.
I also tell them they can afk till we reach boss so you'll at least be somewhat useful in the run.

Bad healer and bad player alert! If you want it to go faster, then cast Stone and Aero on the mobs if you're WHM, and Miasma and Bio if you're SCH, don't just grab every mob in the dungeon you fool.

Are you for real?

Except... pulling and keeping the run going at a brisk pace IS helping new players learn their jobs.

Why does everyone hate efficiency so? Or is fighting one small, weak mob pack at a time so exciting?

[Spoekes]

Yeah, telling the tank to go afk till boss and beeing a total A-hole all over the place really sounds like the most efficient way and the player learns a lot... Are you on drugs?

Please explain how that is helping new players LEARN their jobs. I really want to hear this.

Speed running a low level dungeon isn't normal, ESPECIALLY when it comes to helping new players.
How about's you crawl back to your silly lil' speed running hole?

Oh my! How da hell did I miss this one. I mean seriously poured my coffee down the drain as this was all the caffeine and laughter I needed for the rest of this week, hell month even... I'm REALLY shocked you have been playing since 2013 with this type of nonsense you spewed in this comment. Perhaps your main SHOULD be Goldsmith and NOT a healer class or any other for that matter outside of crafting/gathering...

Healer is doing this because the tank is slow at pulling and they want to get through the dungeon faster. Simple.

What told you this, your crystal ball?

No, seriously there COULD be a ton of reasons, but don't assume that this is the reason. And from the OP, that is not the impression I get.

This post is completely wrong. Stick to your static coil teams dear because teaching new players their jobs is most certainly not your forte. A HEALER playing TANK, is in no way shape or form efficiency. That's called setting bad examples for the new players. It's showboating or trolling at best. Use. Your. Brain...

[Gorvi]

Yeah, no way I'd ever do this, it just doesn't make sense. I try to help new tanks learn their jobs properly. Running ahead and being an ass helps nobody.
