Over-healing should not generate extra threat

[NintenPyjak64]

Oh I disagree with you. There is definitely love involved. It's the only explanation. In fact, I imagine they have wet dreams at night when thinking of the precious threat their over-healing creates.

And yes, I know... I'm a bad healer because I use regen on the tank. Silly me. What on earth am I thinking.

Is it really that hard to wait 2 seconds after a mob is engaged to use Regen? I learned the very fist level 50 instance I shouldn't use Regen before a pull because it WILL get me killed, and this was back when WAR was underpowered to PLD and PLD's shield oath was not as strong as it is today. You're complaining about a mechanic that you're willingly running into because you want to do X when the proper/common sense way is to do Y

Again, let me repeat. This has nothing to do with me using regen before combat begins. Please read my earlier posts to understand what I am talking about.

I read what you said. I also read you saying Over healing is unavoidable among other nonsense. It is very avoidable. More then likely you're using regen at the wrong time before a battle ends or not communicating with the tank properly. Though if you are indeed trying to communicate, then there's no issue with the mechanics, there's an issue with your tank.

It's not poor game design, it's the players making poor execution of the game design

It is unavoidable. That's not nonsense.

You actually think you never land a heal that over-heals? U think all of your heals always perfectly match up with the amount of hp the target had missing? I know you don't really think that.

It won't be perfect, but that's why you delay your heals. WHM is a Reactive healer, you don't NEED to precure unless the tank is going to take massive damage, or attack animations are broken/desynced like the Juggernauts in T4. Like I mentioned, don't heal when the tank lost 500 health, use Cure 1 when he's lost approx 1k health. Also like I mentioned any over heal, if at all, at that point is entirely minuscule because if the tank has already taken 1k damage, they have generated enough hate that the 50 or so over heal points would be nothing more then a drop in the lake. And when you're curing, the tank is STILL taking damage, so chances are he won't be 100% HP when your cure registers.

It is 100% avoidable, you're not making the effort to avoid it from what everything sounds like.

This thread has become one of those ridiculous threads like like the ACN > SMN one or the tanky healers one. This will be my last post in this thread.
