Healers, It's ok we really do love you!

Well, I mean, if you didn't just do something obviously and/or mind-bogglingly stupid, and someone tells you "good job", why is it so difficult for people to assume the comment might be genuine?

I wouldn't be angry at that, personally, but the "we've got your back" comment or "I'll help you heal" might annoy me slightly. Though, my response would prolly be, "If you can do something to make my job easier, I'll let you know. But until then, I think I can handle it, thanks."

Keep in mind, this is probably coming from someone I don't know in a dungeon that I've randomly queued up for. The person offering may be perfectly sincere in their offer, but they are also questioning my ability to do my job by offering it. Think about it. Do you normally think about walking up to some super buff guy carrying 5 loaded bags to his car on his own? Or do you think to yourself, "damn he's got that handled." What about that elderly woman who is clearly struggling with the load she has? Why are they assuming I can't handle my job without first seeing how I handle the load?

I hate it when Red Mages heal instead of doing their job because it ruins my fun. There is only so much damage to be healed and if you're handling a part of that, what am I supposed to do as a healer? Worse dps than you could be doing with a boring rotation? Just stop. It's not helpful if no one has died yet.

Sometimes it's best to say nothing at all.

I just started healing when SHB started and it seems everyone mass pulls in every dungeon even if its low level or not and don't even ask. I swear if your HP bar drops to like 10 percent 1 sec after a full heal top off maybe you should slow down..The other things that makes me not like doing it is people who I insta raise after they die not getting up and just laying there when we need the DPS like they can just sit the rest of the fight out. I told someone to get up during a fight and they are like "Jeeeze take it easy" and because it was their little gang of I imagine FC members I qued into they vote kicked me.

Those tender feelings.

It's one thing for you to spot heal a tank/the party if you've had to pick up the healer and are waiting for them to raise. It's quite another if the healer isn't even dead but you're taking it upon yourself to Vercure people instead of killing things faster (which would be a far better mitigative tool anyways).

Umm that is why i stated i heal the tank while healer is getting back up, i do not sit there healing with Vercure, lol
I do agree with what you said despite this however..

Honestly, when I get groups like that (isn't often, like less than once per year on average in my experience, but it does happen)....I'd almost prefer that they just kicked me. My queue is instant, and odds are VERY likely that I'll get a much better group while they're still waiting for a replacement for me.

You know that some people delay accepting a raise in order to avoid promptly dying to an to an upcoming long/chaotic aoe phase or strong unavoidable party/raid wide aoe blast, right? As they don't always know where the raise was cast from and takes a sec to get bearings and in control of character again.

Now if they stay down the rest of the fight entirely, thats a different story.

That super buff guy may still appreciate the help, as I'm sure he's used to people just assuming he doesn't need any and people tend to appreciate random acts of kindness and other displays of consideration. They can really brighten someone's day.

Some people .... ugh.

I main a WHM and I've never been complimented when keeping the crappy tank alive, or saving people. /shrug I get more "thanks" in Warframe helping a person up ><

And that's ok. I want to heal, and I know I'm helping. Though compliments are nice, I don't need them to continue doing my job.
