But PLD and RDM are just 1 job within their role, and the only ones with (potent) targeted healing on GCD. You're supposed to be trusting your healer because you have no choice in many (/most?) party set ups (when there are no RDM or PLD).Any person you encounter through DF is a stranger, so why should I just trust them straight away? Obviously one should go in with the expectation that everyone in there is capable of doing their job - but trust? Nope, thats something you gotta earn. And you might be burdend by me encountering several healers before you who worked very hard not to earn any amount of trust.
I main a paladin - and while there are many more reasons (habit, liking the class etc.) as to why: This is actually one of them. That I'm pretty much always in a party set up with emergency healing. I consider myself a good (enough) paladin and refrain from using Clemency as long as the healer is fully there (not dead, afk or bot-like) or to trigger Divine Veil when I'm offtank in 8-man content.
Leveling (or playing) my other tanks is always a bit frustrating because sooner or later I end up in a situation where I cant help thinking that I could have saved that with my paladin.
So I actually do have the luxury not to blindly and completly trust my healers - by paying the small price of playing on of the jobs who dont have to.
