Maybe I should post on the BRD forum bitching about the tons of BRD's that DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO WHEN BALLAD IS NEEDED.
To many times (mostly in CT) BRD's sit there PEW PEW'ing with tunnel vision after one or hell both healers die. If they get back up in the fight they have crap for MP and the bards just sit there and refuse to ballad to try and prevent a wipe. I have to SCREAM at them to get it cast.

holy 3 times for full stuns,
continue holy if 2 or more enemies remain and mp is fine,
stone2 if 1 enemy has way more health than the other.
never run out of mp on dungeons

Just wondering what the deal was with the holy spamming. I don't have a lv.50 WHM so I didn't know. But it does seem like a waste when spamming it with only one or two mobs.
As a Bard I feel the need to use Mage's Ballad whenever I see a healer's mp at about half or less. When WHMs are spamming Holy it seems like I need to keep ballad up all the time so that they have mp to heal people.
After reading some of these comments I guess I won't be using Mage's Ballad anymore unless asked for.

Please don't try to anticipate a healer's need for ballad it is very annoying. Actually this is one of my biggest pet peeves... It isn't needed in almost all cases... Maybe if a WHM died and got rezzed with shroud down? Let's just say my "Please turn off Mage's Ballad macro" has a lot more use than my "Need Ballad" macro (more so now as a SCH...).
If the WHM spams holy to the point they cannot cover the required healing, feel free to complain to them. Otherwise let them enjoy the dungeon.

WHM's have a nice mana regeneration between fights so usually its not a problem after we spam holy, it takes a lot of mana that's true but usually I keep it at %30 so I can continue healing. I never ask for ballad but is someone does it's because he or she really needs it.



I will use Holy whenever I feel like it, and honestly, if that offends you you're welcome to exit the dungeon and take the 30 minute penalty.
I also never run out of MP when I choose to Holy. So, why is it of your concern?
