General Community Resistant to Healer Damage?

Imo it's only fair to completely trust the healer until they have proven to be untrustworthy by letting you die. 1 death isn't that big of an issue and I'd rather give the healer a chance to have their fun and showcase their skill to fullest extend (in context).

Usually when I tank and Isee my health dropping low I'll watch what the healer is doing, if it looks like they know what they're doing, I don't worry and I just carry on without doing anything different. If it looks like they are struggling then I maay adjust my tanking. I might also observe their gear, because if they look like a high end raider, that give me an indicator that they're more likely in control and if the gear is low, I'll know I'm dealing with a lower geared healer. I also do the same with the tank when I'm healing them, because it might help indicate what I'm also able to get away with too.


But yeah, until the healer actually runs into trouble, I'd trust them. And 1 or 2 deaths or wipes is not a big deal.

Yeah how I see it there's a difference between a healer letting your HP edge while spamming their GCD heal and one spamming their DPS. When it's DPS I'm assuming they know what they're doing and trust them while otherwise I might adjust, indeed going to depend on how the healer performs. Had very few encounters where healer just spammed dps while letting me die.

That's when I'm playing tanks other than WAR at least, being a WAR (at max lvl) you usually don't even need a healer so I'm not really worried regardless lol.

There sure is a difference. If healer struggles to keep up while actually healing, it's either the problem in me as a tank or in them as a healer (not geared well, used defencive CDs in a bad way, used healing kit weirdly, etc). I personally wasn't talking about this case because it works differently. I was speaking about "hey I'm a dps!" healers. While most of the time runs are completely fine as it is, there also were plenty of examples when healer just forgot that he's a healer and despite me using every possible way to survy I still died, and it happened again and again to the point where you start wonder if you deal with a bot. This type of players should just switch to dps, which was my main point, but it's quite possible that I didn't word it properly.
