Lazy Healers In Parties of Eight

[Vhailor]

Stop doing nothing. The other healer shouldn't have to carry you. I don't know why this behavior keeps happening, but it shouldn't. I'm sick of doing 8 man content, because every so often, someone doesn't want to want to actually do the part they signed up for.

It can be difficult to accurately assess whether a healer in 8-man content is being lazy or not. Sometimes it's clear, but many times they simply don't "top people off" as quickly as someone else might. I know personally I won't cast Cure if some damage-dealer gets knocked down to half life, unless I know a big AoE is coming. I'll toss off a Regen and leave it at that. To another healer, however, this might look as if I'm ignoring them.

I'm not arguing with your overall point, simply suggesting that you might be more reactive than the average healer. Whether this is good or bad is up for debate, though it's far from clear-cut (I'd actually argue that being over-reactive is just as harmful as being under-reactive).
