Why do people hate on tanky healers?

[Eclips]

I'm a ps3 player, also you just confirmed my point. Even with a tank build, you can still heal fine. So if you want to be an idiot and make a stupid tank build then power to you.

What's your point then? The reason we get new gear is to make the fights easier / quicker, not harder and longer. You don't have to be tanky to live through any of the fights except for having 4k hp on twintania. When you say things like "I stack hp on my WHM" its like saying you stack dexterity on your dragoon. It just makes us think you're stupid and we're going to have to work harder to complete the fight to carry you.

Snip

yet you and Pakuda don't get it there are pugs out there like the idiots I dealt with last night that go into a fight blind who do not do there research so your healing tank method will fail.

Lol i love that elitist attitude, you do know that there are still a bunch of people who didn't beat, experience, unlock these so called easy instances that came out in september? Also lol, i bet half of your static groups wouldn't have made much progress if it weren't for strat videos.
Also what truely matters is just clearing any content and having fun, not just ex primals/ coil t5.
I bet once turns 6-9 comes out people will go "watch strat vids please to their statics/ fcs.
All you're doing is just wearing BiS gear and copying the said methods.
Also i usually have a second whm in my PUG party, so yea lol no sch :/

Eclips is right. You're running bottom-level endgame content with a gimp build - and getting carried. If you want to tank, be a tank. No one else should have to do all the heavy lifting for you just so you can feel clever. Tanking with WHM isn't smart. It means you don't understand how to play your class. If you did, you wouldn't be focused on moronic off-brand builds. You'd be focused on being the best WHM healer you could possibly be ... which, by your own accord, you are a looooooooooonnnnnnnnnngggggggggg ways from.

Also zavier how was i carried in turn 1?
Sometimes the other healers gets cleaved and dies and i go lol wut so weakkkk
Then i go heal both tanks till someone else raises the dead healer.
It usually happens during the split.
I can't afford to raise cuz
1) no swiftcast < my bad lol
2) save mp for cures
Cuz i usually use shroud at split so i drop most aggro i accumulated.
You only assumed i was carried cuz u can't possibly imagine a whm doing this.
Remember lol assuming makes an ass out of you and me

1) You're using shroud wrong.
2) You can't afford to Rez because you're using shroud wrong.
3) Swiftcast can be had in a day. Lazy.
4) Your other healer would probably survive if your output wasn't gimped so hard.

Getting 1 shot or near 1 shotted by a cleave than spat on with the poison thing kinda is a lol damn moment.
Also is shroud not a whm tool for dropping aggro? Also i use it cuz i'm at usually 80% mp at that point so i let it mp regen tick while i heal so after it stops i'm at 70_80% still and not like 30% mp.
And usually i can use 2 shrouds dmuring the split, 1 at the beginning and 1 near the end.
Idk y some whm go like " i'll use it when my drops really low"
Its like u might as well use it an let it refresh later on so u can use it again. Like divine seal.

I was running around as a SCH with 5k HP for a bit. It didn't help as much as I thought it would for things. Not a huge deal on SCH because a lot of things are % based on damage and tank HP. But I would never want to gimp myself by doing it on WHM.

[Yumi_umi]

People feel too entitled with all these assumptions flying around.
So lets say in 2.2 the leviathan battle does this awesome super cool tsunami move / tidal wave thing that will 1 shot everyone with 5.5k hp and lower, it will then seem less likely that my build will seem goofy lol and everyone will be like omg stack vit pleaseeee but thats in my dreams and probably will never happen.

If that happens, they will have gear that pushes people past that threshold within their own classes. There is literally no scenario in which your attempted WHM tanking is not made of fail.
