But...I...I don't wanna DPS, I'm a healer...

Not complaining though, this thread has made me avoid healing as much as possible and to be thrown into it like that was pretty cool. I got 2 commendations out of it so yay I guess.

Also is it me or do Warriors health bars drop faster than other tanks. I had a tank in Halitali yesterday and his health bar kept jumping up a couple of hundred on his max health every now and again, and it was great healing them.

Warriors have 20% more hp than other tanks and none of the mitigation, so the health bar does drop faster by percentage. They also recover 20% more hp, but it's not immediately noticeable if you're just looking at health bars. They also lose that bonus hp when they switch out of Defiance to dps, which is why you tend to see it rise and drop.

As for your particular tank, I am inclined to believe they had some DRG gear on them. When tanks lose a lot of HP very quickly even though they're avoiding telegraphs and using CDs, it's usually because they mistook DRG gear as tank gear. It's a hard lesson for a tank to learn that just because they can wear the armor, it doesn't mean they should.

BTW, congrats on the commendations and for staying with the thread for so long. The DPS healer debate is a real can of worms.

P.S. I actually like that hot pink robe look on a Hellsguard.
