Where are all the healers?

[Dregenfox]

If a healer does this... the tank WILL die, period and everybody else will be enjoying a nap right behind him. Well, unless the tank is a Paladin maybe. But even then.

Being a healer is far more stressful and if you screw up too badly, the entire group will be dead. The only time a DPS causes a wipe is enrage, or failure to deal with mechanics on bosses (such as stacking/spreading out, or not killing adds, etc).

I personally don't find healing all that stressful because everything is scripted. Technically, a DPS can wipe the group just as easily as a healer, it's just not as noticeable since most groups will die before enrage during progression, and by the time you get to enrage most DPS have improved dramatically.

I'd be willing to bet if they put in an enrage/DPS check every minute or so in savage, groups will wipe to that just as often as groups wipe to heal checks.
