General Community Resistant to Healer Damage?

[Nedkel]

My friend wanted that for the last two years, so he'd be happy. As for me, if it would finally let me do the role I enjoy without someone screaming "Do more DPS" or "If I'm not bellow 20% Y U Heal me?!" then I could accept having my DPS skills not work in instances.

Are you watching youtube on the second screen when running a duty? Because thats virtually the only thing that comes to my mind when i see a healer wanting to heal only in this game.
Without dpsing you are standing idle for half of the time or overhealing 200%, why?

I've avoided healing for 9 years. Literally until this year I had not touched a healing class and so i never felt comfortable contributing to healing discussions beyond the expectations from a tank/DPS position. ..

I don't know where you guys are getting all this standing around time. People just EAT stuff all day. I can top people off and shield them all day and still BLAMBLAMBLAM from full to dead. Like every roulette.

I'm guessing this is different in hardcore raider/instance running.. but.. yeah. Your average instance in this game has plenty of healing to do. Maybe not standing around NEVER pushing your dot or your damage.. but.. still. LOTS.

I've been with window licker tanks and have had plenty of time to DPS still. It's just knowing what your skills are and not freaking out because the tank isn't at full.

Tanks are almost never my concern though. Most of the time their damage is predictable and consistent. I'm talking about the 2+ DPS who really.. shouldn't take anything but the mapwide AOE but are just eating absolute dirt for whatever reason.

yeah exactly i am trying to figure out where this mythical group is that i "never having to heal and can sitting idle" for the majority of the fight is. because whenever I run my healer I feel like i have to always be at the top of my game on healing or else someone is gonna die.

At no point did I say I didn't DPS, I do and I hate it, I said I want to be healing. I'd rather be kept busy with that than doing dmg. I hate the fact I'm supposed to spend more of my time Role playing as a DPS than as playing the role I signed up for, but thanks for for assuming.
