Why do Healers...

[ClairDeLune]

1.
There's the speed demon tank issue that many others mentioned.

Otherwise, it might not be effective, but there's certainly no additional cost if it's at the beginning of the battle.
Some healers could just bored. It's like asking why people press elevator buttons for the floor that they want to go to again, despite seeing that it's already pressed. Still, I see little harm in it

2.
Medica 2 and succor when only 1-2 members need healing still do something due to additional effects that are not just immediately restoring HP. Medica 1 is the only one that might be kind of dumb

3.
Obvious reason would be not having swiftcast or prioritizing keeping the party alive before raising people (as you should)

But also, some healers are elitist or have ego issues and use it as a way of saying "Screw you, you F'd up and died, so I'm going to make it obvious to the entire group by leaving you dead. And look at how good I am solo healing.

Some co-healers in PUGs are literally not worth the Swiftcast + MP + GCD to raise. That's not even me being an elitist here, sometimes PUGs won't survive the fight if you raise them, or they are so bad that your MP usage is that much more efficient than what they'll bring to a fight.

I will not raise in Titan HM if you died more than 1-2 times, you will remain dead and it's not because of elitist or anything, it's just realistically you are not going to survive the stomps so there's no point in raising.

Have to say i haven't met a healers that is like "Screw you, you F'd up and died, so I'm going to make it obvious to the entire group by leaving you dead. And look at how good I am solo healing." but if that ever happens i probably deserved it.

1. Stoneskin II takes too long to cast, i don't like using swiftcast when not necessary so i like to stoneskin II right when i zone in then stoneskin the players that were missed. (Or half the time the other healer takes care of the rest)

2. When i want to DPS but usually a regen on MT takes care of that.

3. "Not resurrecting your co-healer if they die (and there's plenty of time/mana.) Why? " OK, the preset assumption is "there's plenty of time/mana." - sorry but i have just never experienced this.

1- If Stoneskin1 then no problem, if it is Stoneskin2 then....impatient or dumb lol
2- It happened to me a bunch of times, watching a WHM/AST cast a Medica 2/Aspc. Helios 2 followed by Cure 2/ Benefic 2 is painful...
3- Dumb... just dumb.... even if you don't have swiftcast there are ways to quickly/safely raise your co-healer.
For WHMs- Presence of Mind>Raise
For ASTs- Lightspeed> Raise
For SCHs though....Rouse your eos and cast whispering dawn+succor followed by ressurection (i've done that plenty of times and it worked)

For me though.
1- When i've just protect'ed and stoneskin'ed everyone and the other healer cast protect and stoneskin all over again....WHY? JUST WHY?
2- For the sake of the twelve, make a Raise/Ressurrect/Ascend macro with some sound effects in it, seeing a double raise on the same player is just.......painful.
3- When i'm with my AST and the other AST activates the same sect i'm on.... and keeps overwriting my buffs.....what the?? Are you blind?? Do you have a brain??
