Protect? Really important? Low level content

[Seryl199]

By the time you get three cross class skills, I'd say you're at the point to be running Protect. While it may not be necessary, it's mitigative effects do become more relevant starting around Haukke. Players aren't in the wrong to ask for it, and as a healer, you should at the least consider their request. In my opinion, as long as you keep the party safe, it doesn't matter so much how you get it done, buffs or no buffs, DPS or no DPS. The tank shouldn't have bailed on that single detail. Next time it comes up, consider responding like this, "I'm cross-classed for DPS and I feel pretty confident without it, if you'd really like it I'll need 20 seconds to swap my skills around and wait for the cooldown." After saying this, most tanks I party with set off, and some say they'll wait. Sometimes the right communication is all you need. Also, consider swapping Blizz II for Aero, Aero is 200 potency and is easy to DoT up after Bane'ing your main DoT's. As an added bonus, you don't have to move close to deal damage.

That tank was me prob..
I left ID cuz someone left already.
That protect was not cuz of actually.

And you can set protect on first slot as cross skill to use at lower lv dungeon.

I know it cuz I lved 60 on my AST and rest healer class are 50 which is maxed out at 2.x .

Healer's duty is protect party not dpsing unless rest of party was agreed with that.

Healer's job is to make sure no one dies, Protect isn't mandatory to do that. Protect may make that job slightly easier to accomplish, but no one should complain about not using Protect until someone dies.

Lol double posted. Delaying so op

Agreed with that. But tank is deserve to ask cast protect on him to make it slightly easier run.

As long as the healer is healing, the tank has no justifiable right or reason to ask another player to change their skill load out or change their play style. Period. Tanks aren't the ones paying people's subscription fees.

I have every right to ask people to perform to their fullest in a multiplayer game, regardless of whether I'm paying for their sub or not. If you find that unreasonable, maybe you should stick to playing single player games.

I'm not saying people shouldn't be expected to play to the best of their ability. Demanding that someone change skill load outs based on how YOU feel they should play, regardless if you're the tank or not, while in a DF group IS unreasonable.
