People Need to Start Respecting Healers More

[Aeyis]

Ho well, people, get real!

DPS can shine just on a few places, that are called the "dps checks". Those are the battles where what it counts, are DPS show off how good they are. And those are the battles where all pugs will FAIL. Utterly FAIL. Today all those checks are passed only because DPS are overgeared for the place. But even today, the "good" dps are still few numbers.

Tanks are requested to know every detail of the duty, every single inch of the map, and make things without any margin of error. Any tank fault is a wipe. They cannot fail.

Healers is little easier than tank, just watch health, cure, and dispel what is needed. And follow mechanics as everyone else. But again, if they mess something, a wipe is something that can easily happen. They have that burden too.

DPS is the easiest job of all. They can go in a duty totally blind, and just burn down whatever the Tanks aggroes. It is so easy job, that it is the master choice of almost everyone. Long queue times, yes, really you wonder why?

When it comes to something the DPS have to do in order to succeed on a duty, even so simple to require at least a glimpse how the mechanics are on a duty, that duty will be automatically defined as the most hard of the game.

You seem a bit biased there.

It's funny because my experience seems to be the opposite. Screw up minorly on DPS? Silent disapproval at best, vote dismissal at worse. Screw up majorly when I tank? No, it's okay! Please don't go! We don't want to wait 10+ minutes for another!

Ho yes, I am. But a bit!

Anyway, the only right one on all this, is Murphy: given any possible reasoning on how to give commendations, everyone gives them how they wish.
