Has anyone quit healing?

......I am getting really tired of playing healer.

Not because of mechanics, but because of GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO tanks.

I am sorry you feel that way. Unfortunately, it is very common and expected for tanks to pull as much as they can and for healers to catch up. My advice for you is to put sprint on an easy to press key and use that for sprinting tanks. Also, try to stay as close to your tank between pulls and don't stand in the back too much. When you're geared up more and at level 80, those pulls probably won't feel as miserable as they do now.

Also I feel a bit guilty myself for probably running away from scholar bubbles in the past, because I have to play with no effects on. Really wish they would make those visible with no effects, ugh.

...But, the thing is most tanks and players in general are so focused on their own agenda that they don't look at how many Aether stacks you have or what have you. Everyone is mostly focused on themselves and I think in duty finder content expecting your tank to work around you without blatantly telling them your preferences is a mistake. While I was leveling healers, I found it helpful to give a heads up to my party at the beginning of content that I was new and undergeared but would try my best regardless. It made things so much easier because tanks were more understanding when I messed something up or couldn't do BIG heals...I even do this now as I'm leveling tanks, so healers don't expect something they're not going to get. (Like pulling wall to wall, my gear is too poor for that!)

Anyways, I know healing can be stressful at the beginning because of things like this but good luck in getting yours to 80.

Ground effects and important party animations (DRG tether, etc) display when set on ‘minimal’.

Oh I know. Even minimal makes my eyes cringe though, so I play with them off. The AST ring of stars appears when everything's set to "off", so I just wish the other bubbles did too.
