Prepulling mobs as healer

[Yrahv]

Why do I need consent from the group if I'm the healer and I don't risk a wipe at all and I'm keeping everyone alive?

My answer to that question was given in the second part of my post.

Tank also doesn't need to ask consent to pull more, sure it's their job, but there seems to be less hard feelings when tank overpulls and causes a wipe (not completely sure about that one actually).

I do not agree with that at all. An overbearing tank who pulls wall to wall without bothering to ask if his healer can keep up is no better than an overbearing healer who takes it upon himself to pull more when the tank is more comfortable pulling less.

Efficiency is one thing. Common courtesy is another.

You're also ignoring the other part of my post, which clarifies the question.

You are ignoring a very specific part of everything. The human behind the game. Like, I hate slow dungeon runs as much as the next person, but I'm not going to be a jerk and pull mobs to the tank.

If they aren't comfortable pulling more, or aren't up to it, or whatever the reason is? That doesn't give you the right to pull ahead just because you are bored. Either go tank yourself, leave those instances, or find a friend to tank for you.

I didn’t ignore it. Your argument is that what you are doing is merely increasing efficiency and you are asking why people are getting offended by it.

My response is that it doesn’t matter what you are doing for the sake of efficiency. Few individuals appreciate unsolicited assistance. Your intent is irrelevant. The response to your actions will most often be negative.

My main reason for doing it isn't even efficiency, but boredom. I use efficiency as argument for why there's no reason to be upset.

As healer, it's not always efficiency that is your biggest concern, but rather boredom. It already tends to get kind of boring to be spamming 1 dps all the time and getting everything done without GCD's (most content nowadays). It's even worse when you barely even have to use oGCD's. Maybe people should keep in mind and have respect for the fact that when there's no healing needs, healers have literally nothing else to do beside spamming 1 dps button. They don't have an engaging dps rotation like tanks and dps.

OP, you are the embodiment of the reason I don't queue in DF anymore.
