Not healing Damage Dealers

[Ryans]

I have the biggest issue with DD calling for heals out of range and expecting me to come dashing to their rescue. On Ifrit, I need to stay in my safe spot and pop a resonance if it's up to heal. Or stop all healing completely, run in range to them (cuz they ain't coming to me!), stop again and stand there and heal while I pray I don't get killed! (especially if I'm the only WHM).

Whm doesn't have to stay in its "safe" spot for Ifrit. If you memorize the entire arena and know the mechanics of the encounter, a whm can run all over the field and be safe. While I agree that if a melee is below 20% hp that they should avoid the possibility of taking any more damage (because leaving combat for 20 seconds spares a lot more of your total damage than dying and waiting for a revive), but don't act like a whms' job is hard to do. If you want to be considered a good healer, you need to be able to counteract other peoples' stupidity, plain and simple. If you want to be an adequate whm, keep the tank alive.

I don't carry people's stupidity, the tank does. People can be as stupid as they like, but if I run around the field trying to heal them, I'm going to find myself out of range of tank or out of MP or both and then its a wipe.

Don't act like you know how to play WHM.

Best way to cure stupid people? Don't play with them.

Hiir I've missed you and I'm coming back to Fabul in 2.0 (if they allow server transfers) ^^

Heal the DD as much as possible. The only time I dont is if they're about to get one shotted and won't make it out anyway, or if the tank is in need of heals more at that moment. If they pull hate, they're doing their job, while the tank isn't keeping up with his. Some tanks are just gimp so it's inevitable.. I've gone from green to flashing red in one combo on my Monk before. Whm's should be prepared to deal with situations like that.
