Where are all the healers?

[Whiteprincess]

I keep my duty finder usage as low as I can, 1 to 3 times a week. Im sick and tired of being yelled at for dpsing with zero wipes/deaths. Then being yelled at for healing the str tank and not dpsing enough. The str tank I had before had 3k more hp than the sam and was getting hit harder than any savage fight. I cap the rest of tombs with canals and savage. Im sick of this all business, no play attitude. So I try to only roll with friends.

I almost never do roulettes anymore due to reasons mentioned in this thread - tanks who sprint ahead, pull everything, don't use a single CD so I have to spend the entire fight chain casting Cure II, bad DPS who take forever to kill things and stand in all the AOEs.

I cap my tomes playing Frontlines, which is a LOT more fun.

<_< No wonder my queue times are near instant. I think I may be the only one that enjoys the "difficulty" of PUGs. It may be that if tanks try to start something after a failed pull, I will tell them exactly how many times the used CDs (if they drop like stones) and when they didn't correctly establish hate (if they let others take it). Dps have never been a problem for me. They usually know why they died after standing in the bad and seeing the other DPS is doing just fine.

Tanks are always the ones thinking they have one of those submissive healers who will take their crap. Not this one. Multiple MMOs and years of healing have made me a grizzled old veteran. I will admit my mistakes, but if you try to blame others won't admit yours, I'll do it for you. It makes PUGs fun for me. Doing all the dps I can and keeping everyone alive when a group that can't gauge one anther due to them never playing together before...what a thrill!

I practically cap on savage weeklies/traps, extreme primals, and frontline PvP. I might do one expert roulette once a week, and usually that is pre-made. You have to force me to do those dungeons. But you can now see why YoshiP has said they will just release only one new dungeon in the odd patches. There is just more content to do that gives tome rewards.

On my second character I do sometimes spend more time to cap, so I might PuG those expert roulettes every few days. I can handle anything, but very low DPS is probably why I like to avoid it.

Did a bunch of pug savage runs last night, and at least on aether datacenter, it's still tanks that are in the shortest supply.

I would say "Good" healers that can handle the pressure of savage is still harder to find than a good tank, though.

Never had any issues with duty finder...at least with SCH I can pretty much carry any tank no matter how bad, as long as the DPS are at least decent.

[loreleidiangelo]

I cap through Savage, full premade Deltascape normals for off jobs, and Canals. Healing outside of Savage is disgustingly dull and I loathe the new pruned PVP, so you won't see me in your queues anytime soon.

I'm a great healer (ex-mythic wow raider) and I have been getting pretty sick of healing this xpac.

From Tanks overpulling and not using cooldowns in 4-mans to DPS not moving out of shit in normals, it just seems like I'm putting in extra work for everything this time around.

I've been looking for a static on Excalibur (I'm a 317 SCH), but my FC doesn't do EX Primals and I have no major logs to show for it.

It makes sense, but is also ridiculously frustrating.

[Nicodemus_Mercy]

I main WHM but I don't do savage content and rarely touch ex primals. I don't have any interest in being tied to a schedule for specific content. I also have no desire to spend my time wiping over and over on a fight till every "gets it" (assuming they ever do). As a former mmo raider I'd be good for that sorta content, but after years of doing it, I just don't have the patience to deal with it. It can be stressful when you find yourselves stuck on a particular fight and hours go by with no progress made. And being expected to show up on a specific schedule... yea I'm just not interested in that anymore. I like my freedom to log on when I want and log off when I want without any obligations or expectations.

[PhoLover]

really? it seems healers are abundance on Excalibur. My FC has a static group but there are multiple healers/tanks wanting to join and not enough dps. Maybe it's just my FC :x?

[Jxnibbles]

My fc used to have about 12 Healer mains we now have 3 Healers out of 80 players. I mean its a really small sample size but jfc we have so many Bards/Blms/Rdms now.
