Over-healing should not generate extra threat

[Adrian74]

Moreover, a smart tank should know when to click regen off so that the healer doesn't suffer. It's amazing how many tanks will yell at healers for using regen, when they can simply REMOVE IT THEMSELVES.

Well, I'm sorry but had to comment about this, but it's not so easy to remove states by yourself... At least not with a gamepad. Of course I'm a noob that should not comment these kind of things, but... So far only way I know for deleting the states has to be with the mouse, right click, that maybe is easy for a keyboard+ mouse tank... But for tanks like me who use gamepad... Nope, not possible, So far our only way would be... Uhm... Press select many times until the cursor focus in our states and then press unknown button?... Still, it's not so easy.

Saying that... Does someone know of any macro or something for solve that with a nooby-tank that uses gamepad? I'd appreciate it ^^

Activate cursor mode and do it that way. Still a hassle. I think its l1 + r3? or r1 + l3... never really use it, so forget

Yes, I did just say that. Healing over time isn't really used to preempt damage. It's used to counter constant damage like Auto-attack.

Yes.

On controller, since you're moving with left stick, click select with right hand till you're at the buff section, click circle to cancel and move on.

lol. I don't think you play with a controller. My right hand is usually occupied changing camera angles, targeting new mobs, poping pre-emptive CDs, etc.

Healers - just don't regen pre-pull on anything. Its frickin' instant cast, there is no reason ever to need THAT MUCH healing in the first 2.4 seconds of the fight that you would ever NEED to have regen on. It will happen that a regen is left over from a previous battle, and that's fine - but you can also learn to not regen in the last 6 seconds of a fight.

As per the mechanics of over-healing - its penalized because then healing would be so derp-easy that you could face-roll everything in the game up to and beyond the Relic quest. "Oh you run out of mana anyways!" No you don't. Maybe in Twintanita, Caduceus, X modes, but in any 4 man dungeon you would never run out of mana doing normal trash pulls or most bosses. Also someone mentioned that healing only does 50% enmity of hp healed. Yes, unless its an overheal.
