Why healing is broken and terrible, and how to fix it...

[Mirateski]

When I melee DPS, I don't expect the healer to heal me instantly from my stupidity of taking an AoE I could have dodged.

I was in a Shisui recently (admittedly I was dpsing that run, my friend was healing) where the sam intentionally ate aoes to maintain dps. Including Flush, which left them on ~1k hp and made my healer friend freak out and ask them to dodge

"I know aoes are bad, I also know how much I can take before I die"

nice of you to let the healer know, I guess...

(Everyone always gets hit by SOMETHING, hence the application of regen. It's just multiple instances of eating things that make me go "actually, nah, you can die")

I'm the same way when I heal. Raid wide AoE I will start casting Medica II when the bosses cast is almost done so it coincides with the damage. If need be another Medica, or a Regen on those hit the hardest(though I tend to keep a Regen up all the time on tank when in a boss fight/when they finish the pull and are not moving anymore).

And after knowing enough healers who have said something along those lines, that's why I never expect heals when I'm not a healer.
