BOY DO I!

Thank you for telling me what I can and cannot think. I didn't know that I had to run my opinion by you to make sure they were correct before I put them onto screen.

Do you know how soul-crushing is to watch a tank press Sprint run with a ton of mobs on him when he finally stops has 5% HP left. Not a problem I'm usually on my White Mage will just pop benediction. What's that one and a half seconds and he's back down to 5% again. And this goes on for about a minute or so. Darn DPS aren't geared enough to get the mobs down quick enough. Darn I've used every cool down in my spell book but the tank is taking damage faster than I can output heals and I'm higher geared than tank 400 iLvl.

Better yet do you know how soul-crushing it is to watch a tank Rush up to a boss get hit one time and it's at 5% health? So yes sometimes us healers to stand in stuff because we don't have a choice if we stopped healing the tank dead. I can think of a number of times I've eaten in AOE because if I didn't and I moved away from the mechanic and stops healing the tank the whole entire party would go down. Tanks and DPS that don't have to make critical decisions. The healers decision on who do I heal can sometimes makes a difference of whether or not the party is successful. I can't just have to hold hate and mitigate damage. DPS can fail and stand in the fire as they normally do. Don't worry that's the healers fault to yep I will raise you for the sixth time on this one boss.

It's easy to look at it things from a one-sided perspective I tend to look at it from everybody's perspective. I have level 70 tanks and healers that are well geared those are the two classes that I primarily play.

I propose this challenge to all of you. Coming to Duty Finder as a Healer heal some of these bad tanks that drop their stance and do not have the gear supported to do so. After you have successfully done that I will gladly value your opinions or perhaps listen to you tell me that I shouldn't have the opinion I have but until that time keep rocking your tanks you're probably one of the bad ones.
