    A rezz announcement from a healer is training wheels for the other lesser experienced healer. In such a situation I guess it's OK, but healers need to eventually rely on monitoring the status bars, and identifying the icons as they pertain to them. A wasted swiftcast is no one's fault except the player that wasted it. Take accountability.

    Example 2: the DRK ability Living Dead saves them from a fatal blow, but they need to be healed to 100% afterwards or they still die. That's useful information, because otherwise I'd probably assume a tank at 90% is in good condition and might not heal them that last 10%...then they go splat.
    What matters is the DRK is returned 100% of his Max HP. Not restored to full. No announcement from the DRK is needed because he's sitting at 1HP. This is WELL below even the tightest thresholds of the game's best healers. If the healer can't see to cure bomb the hell out if the DRK, it's on them that the DRK dies to LD.

    Example 3: if you're doing PUG content and use a healer LB3, a macro could potentially alert an otherwise inattentive DPS that they are now alive and can do stuff so they don't just stand in bad and die again.
    If anyone needs notification that a healer LB3 just went off, they should get their eyes and ears checked.
