Tanks, please use strength gear.. :(

I used to do this. I think it's mostly a symptom of newer tanks or those that don't main tank.

Agreed. I was once afraid to even use berserk because of the pacification timer. XD

HG is so much more powerful once you start using it proactively though.

Holmgang > IR/Berserk , Equilibrium etc.

Whatever, your right!

It is definately not a waste to wait until my tanks almost dead doing nothing else and then using 3 lustrates to bring him back up.

I'm the healer-buddy Noxifer was referring to, so I thought i'd chime in \o/ While I'm not above trolling from time to time, this isn't one of those times. As a SCH, I try to put down a barrage of DoTs and tie it off with a nice bane. I throw up a stoneskin and an adloquium immediately after the last mob of the previous group dies, so that buys me some time when jumping in to the next group. It takes about 10 seconds to put up shadow flare, bio ii, miasma, bio + a bane, and if there are multiple groups of mobs i'm not always able to finish that little routine before the tank needs some TLH (tender-loving-heals).

Since we all love a good thrill, sometimes I err on the side of getting that last DoT in before I drop cleric stance =D Hence the exciting moments that Noxifer was referring to. Lustrate is a great instant heal so it affords you a little bit of recklessness as a SCH. Surprisingly, I hardly ever lose a tank, and when I do, it is pretty much always Selene's fault. Then again, maybe a wipe shouldn't be the embarrassing shame-fest that some people seem to think it is, especially when pushing the limits can be fun.

Right? I wipe more often than you'd think with friends because I feel safe enough to try insane pulls with them.

Sometimes it works. Sometimes the Bard runs screaming through the dungeon with a bunch of birds trying to eat his face.

Tanks job is to Tank. Not deal damage. This is why we have "Damage" classes.

I'll make sure to only hit the boss enough to maintain aggro then, and not hit the boss at all as OT. ( ' - ' )b

Breaking news: the true tank primary stat is piety.
Flash is OP, please nerfs SE.

Time to start a new thread on the MP balance issues and why DRK is way too far ahead of WAR.

That's the kind of spirit I enjoy! \o/ Aside from being worth it for the fun of it, pushing the limits also makes you a better player, the hardest content in the game require that both the tanks and the healers give as much extra DPS as they can. Might as well get practice!

You sir made my day. Thank you.

Is a healer's job only to heal? Should a DPS (whose job is to DPS) never use E4E/Virus/Rend/Mantra?

Don't be so narrow minded. We have one job as a group, and that's to smoke enemies, regardless of who's healing/DPSing/tanking.
