    Casting regen before pull

    I've noticed that some healers cast regen on me before i pull, and that sometimes messes up my pull big time. But I am reluctant to tell the healer not to do that because idk if theres something im doing wrong or if the healer just shouldnt do that. can someone help?

    The healer shouldn't do that, at least if he doesn't want to tank this pull haha
    Also you should check your status and dismiss the regen buff before a pull because if it last from one pull to other and the mobs runs crazy to hit the healer will be your fault

    The healer shouldn't do that. But you can remove the Regen buff by clicking on it. If you continue to get it cast on you just before a pull, maybe politely mention that it causes the mobs to go straight for the WHM and that they are fine to cast it a few seconds into the fight, once you have hate established. They probably aren't aware of the problem

    If a healer casts regen on you before you pull... You smack them firmly on the nose, shout "BAD HEALER!! BAD!! NO!!" and you right click the buff to get rid of it..

    If they learn quick, give them a treat by a light swat on the butt saying "good girl/boy!"

    If they continue to disobey you, you rub their nose in it by waiting for their regen, running into the largest pack of mobs you can find (multiple packs are good) and then running back to them and dancing, or sitting, /pose is also acceptable.

    I've started noticing more of this from well-geared healers in wp/ak df runs. I now pay close attention to regens that need removal before pulls. Not just WHM. Scholar healbots will also often put them on, unbeknownst to to the scholar.

    part of the problem is most the healers that do that either dont know what enmity/agro is, or just plain lazy.....there is almost no reason at all for them to cast regen at the end or beginning of a fight. if they want to top you off, they should use cure or adloqium (idk if thats the right spell, but idc either) or let it automatically recover.
    me personally, when i do heal, i always top off the tank at the end of a fight and then pop swiftcast + stoneskin.....but im also not a lazy healer and normally dont pull much threat since i try to avoid overhealing, and just use stoneskin to help with mitigation too, and i usually use more than 4 buttons when healing in most fights, including trash mobs

    When the previous group of mobs is nearly done, I cast stoneskin on the tank just before the last one is dead. That creates a buffer as the tank pulls the next group or more, so there is sufficient time for the tank to get agro before any healing is needed. Never ever cast anything during a pull.

    This is what good healers do.
    Healers casting regen before pulls should just replace regen with stoneskin and turn a bad habit into a good one.
