Healers please

[Liam_Harper]

I would rather keeping my teammate HP bar full or at least very high for insurance than having to panic rez later

The thing is, even as a dps focused healer I'd rather be safe with potential mistakes too. I don't play risks like leaving everyone at half health when an avoidable mech is coming up. I'll throw Benisons and Bene's and even Cure II's at dps with vuln stacks quite happily. But if no mechanic is coming up immediately and I know it, I don't need to heal immediately. Their health bars don't need to be full until they're actually in any danger.

this I agree with. if nothing is coming I will likely toss a regen in case they decide at some point to stand in something, and if nothing is coming, then I will indeed dps away. people dont need to run at 100% thats true, and not even panicky at 50 since I can typically save all but the really dumb.

but in no way do I ever consider my primary focus dps.. why? because I lack any kind of toolkit for that assumption. no matter how you spin it.

I agree. A healer's primary focus is keeping the party alive. However I disagree that a healer lacks any kind of toolkit to make dps a primary focus. In the right hands, our tool kits have the potential to do solid DPS. While you may not consider DPS a a primary focus, just be aware that for some healers, DPS is, at the very least, a close second. Etherea you absolutely should play however makes you happy but if you want to be successful in party finder or duty roulette you are going to have to figure out a way to get along with co-healers with play-styles that differ from yours. <3

that's what I do...if there is enough time, i drop a regen, if not just top it up with whatever healing skill i have

my thread is targeting those who always keep teammate at low HP when avoidable dmg coming up, co-heal with those players just put pressure on myself
