Raid behavior is getting worse lately

[Ilan]

And yet, most people I see complaining about RDMs (and sometimes SMNs) are not complaining about their damage; they complain when the RDM won't raise someone if the healer simply isn't in a position to (e.g., no Swiftcast, lots of raid-wide damage, multiple deaths, squishy tank...the list goes on). I've even ran into RDMs that won't raise whenever both healers are down, and instead we either wipe (8 mans) or wait for someone else to pick us up (24 man).

I'm more likely to call you out for not using Verraise to help instead of your damage. Just like I call out DPS that won't AOE when appropriate. A RDM or a SMN that won't help their party via raising when necessary is just as bad as a tank who won't use cooldowns or a BRD that won't use Refresh.

Use your kit.

Can't agree more. Had such a RDM in ridorana yesterday, he refused to raise and didn't even heal himself after one healer dc'ed and the other healer couldn't keep everyone alive. I don't see a problem in helping out, i spend most of the time on the first boss raising as rdm, which is better than wiping imo.
