More fun times in WoD

[Darra]

Name one other job that's essentially allowed to afk in the middle of a battle. Oh right, there isn't one. So why should healers be treated any differently? Look at an off-tank for example.

I afk all the time in WOD as a tank, I always pull the first trash pack hastily, then the first boss, because I hate my time being wasted by half a dozen ready checks and for paladins to stoneskin their entire party. After that I spend 70% of my time auto-attacking because I find that place fills me with a sense of ennui, so I tab out. If my measly 250dps is enough to prevent a wipe, well that's one awful group of 15 DPS. When I go in as a Scholar, unless I am in the MT group, I mostly afk it too, I also wouldn't object to an AFK off tank, it means I actually get a bit of a challenge with healing or using Fluid Aura + Repose.

so if adds need to be picked up or MT dies you dont much care? lovley. and this is why I have to heal every group and rez everyone that dies cuz other healers are jsut afk guess im the fool.

If the MT dies (a rare occurrence), I pick up the boss, assuming it wasn't me tanking it to begin with. Adds in ST and WOD really do not require a tank to tank them, about the only exception is when a bad white mage spams Medica 2 and ends up having to tank/kite 3-4 mobs. WOD, ST and CT are a joke for how easy they are, (most wipes are impossible to prevent as a healer, we don't have a "Cure Stupidity" spell, nor do we have a "Regen Ability to DPS Properly" spell) it's obvious that during any given run at least 4-5 people are afk or semi-afk, barely playing because there is no need for them to do so. I personally welcome more healers be lazy, I might have to try (and actually have fun) then rather than run about pretending like I'm doing my job.

I don't have much against OP doing what she does because she's actually trying and healing, so I say go for it. I'll probably have a harder time in WoD but eh...
You on the other hand...and if I am readind this correctly...
The rest of us are trying to do our job and you sittin' over there chilling.
Don't queue for a healer if you aren't going to do your job any. It's your job, you heal.
You don't sit and afk. Eos ain't enough. WoD is easy but there's no reason why you should make it
harder on everyone else especially your team healer. [Admittedly, healing is not that hard there, but when crap hits the fan we'll need you.]
Also it's probably harder to heal as a WHM because they need to take care of their MP management better than us SCH. You're stressing them.
You can also help the other team heal and res as well. You don't ALWAYS focus your own alliance.
