Ode to the faithless tanks

[Alien_Gamer]

trust goes both ways. healers seem to have a love affair with letting a tanks HP get as low as possible before healing because they'd rather dps or they want a few % more efficiency out of Benediction or something. Many times they cast a heal too late then everyone is scrambling while the healer tries to raise and heal the tank while mobs are going everywhere.

Why should I trust random healers when they've taught me I shouldn't? If me not wanting to be dead and casting clemency offends you, too bad.

I understand where you're coming from, but ultimately it's not the tank's job to heal.
If the healer is too greedy with heals and screws up, it's 100% their fault. No one is going to blame the PLD or the RDM for not using their heals.
So for me it's just a question of trusting people with their job, no matter what your past experiences might have been.

That being said, yeah, there's no need to take offense here I think it's kind of cute that sometimes RDM/PLD panick and start using their heals when there's no need to. Plus like Sebazy said it's more time for me to DPS.
