TheHiveLeader's Guide to Healing in MMOs

I'm not sure if this has been shared before, but it's so true. Hope you all get a chuckle out of it, and know .. yes ... healers can be an underappreciated class!

I remember that thing.
It is funny, and true, which also makes it a bit sad.

Lol it's very true. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who actually lets somebody die because they are stupid and/or annoying. Sometimes there is this one guy who will just get hit by everything and expect a heal so I stop healing them and when they are super low HP they start dodging. Repeat until they figure out you won't heal them unless they dodge. It's somewhat petty but when people are not making an effort in a fight I lose all morale to even try to heal them. I will do absolutely everything in my power to win with a group who tries their hardest to beat a fight even if they are struggling with it. I just hate when people do dumb stuff.

I use it as a guide. If at first you dont succed, become a vengeful god ^^. People tend to do bad choises, and they often get puished for such deeds. i feel like its my job to make sure that it gets passed down with certainty. But it sure feels like you, as a healer, get blamed for all the shit that happens. Obviously we all know this is not the case, but getting in to a group with some very green players this effect may very well be implemented. I have even had veteran players (with no brains probably) accusing me for the wipes etc. If everyone whould watch this video they whould know what would happen should they fail :P

PS: Sorry for my poor grammar. English is not my language \o

had a roulet ex run yesterday on my WHM that very much reminded me of that video
tank pulling everything, not using any cooldowns, and pulled the next mobs immediately after a group died with me below 10% mp... even the bosses... almost all my cooldowns were on perma usage. when asking the tank to please slow down a bit he didnt care at all. oh and the dps were quite low which didnt make it easier
i really should just have let them wipe once so they learn, but its kind of a miracle i was able to pull that off anyway...
it really was the perfect example how freaking true that video is -.-

@ 2:05 I nearly choked on my cereal. So true and so sad.

I was recently in a group where the blm felt compelled to run in front of the tank and face pull entire rooms. Naturally I was overwhelmed and a person or two died. Did the blm get yelled at?

Nope...
