Experiencing new WHM paranoia. Halp!

It IS hard to build confidence as a healer because you have no way to separate your own performance from that of the whole group. In order to know how well you're doing, you'll need to get facts:

- Run with different people and compare how well the run goes. I've lost count of the times during my leveling days where I'd fail catastrophically in a new dungeon, crumble with self-doubt, but then try again and run it without trouble with three other parties, to finally realize that the problem the first time wasn't with me but the rest of the team.

- Look at the healers who can clear the content with ease. What are they wearing, what are they doing? If you're geared about the same and you don't see anything weird and unexplainable in their playing style then probably you aren't the worst performing member of your party.

Playing a healer is about trying to balance the confidence to decide that it's not your fault people are dying, with the humility to keep improving.
