Toxic WHM Glare spammers

[Icedmind]

I know this situation is not new at all, but it is quite annoying and ruins the fun of the game.

Every time I see a WHM in my party, I expect that this player may not heal, instead there will be Glare/Stones spam. No regen, no bubble, no res, not the slightest effort. Sometimes just Cure I/II on 5-10% HP, or healing only themselves.

In 80% of cases, everything turns out to be exactly that toxic way, and either I have to heal the entire raid alone as a healer, losing a huge amount of mana. Or I have to think only about my own survival instead of wall-to-wall pulls and uptime playing as a tank or dps.

It's not a big problem if I'm playing PLD or WAR, but I'm not having fun at all, compensating for someone's laziness. The joke about green DPS is no longer funny. Cause I come to have fun and not to heal for them or try to survive while they are throwing stones.

Disclaimer: Not all WHM's behave this way. There are excellent players to whom I am very grateful, but due to subjective experience, I have met spammers of stones much more often.

It's not laziness. Nor is it "green dps". It's simply a matter of "if the tank/party can survive the next attack, I will continue casting damaging spells". Especially when a buddy of mine tags along as a tank, I do know how low I can let him drop before I cast my Tetra/Bene/Afflatus. This MMO isn't meant to have everybody topped off at any given time - unless you're the kind of player who enjoys doing absolutely nothing for 30 seconds before the next big damage is coming in or even worse, casting healing spells when there's no use for it. You've got damaging spells for a reason after all.

Edit: Think about the offline FF games: have you ever had your WHM in the party skip his turn just because there's no need for heals? I think not.
