Ranting about Regen

[Rishea]

This is a huge pet peeve of mine and an easy way to tell a seasoned healer from a not so seasoned one.

From a tank perspective: I do understand that it's really annoying for tanks when healers are going buck-wild with regens and heals on people. The best way to get those not-so-seasoned healers up the rungs is to be polite with them. Give them suggestions like, "Hey, could you please watch your regens/heals" or of they don't want to pay attention to timers, "Please run with me until I get aggro on everything"

On the flip side...

From a healer perspective: I know it sucks when other people like tanks and dps tell you how to do your job, but suggestions like this are meant to help the group as a whole. Don't take offense if someone tells/asks you to do something different like "Run to me when I make pulls so I don't lose aggro". As a healer, you have to make a lot of sacrifices/compromises. Deal with it.

In my previous posts earlier in the thread I always make a polite suggestion. It's socially acceptable and proper. I also try to level a healer to cap in dungeons just so I understand what they are going through and so I can better assess a situation. Which i'm in the process of doing now.

All i'm saying is that its a pet peeve of mine lol. It makes me have to test my patience.

PS: does everyone think i'm picking on their job all the time or is it just normal in this forum?

I wasn't implying that you weren't being polite. I was saying that about tanks in general. I've seen a lot of nasty tanks that are really rude.
