    I still really have a few problems with these threads.

    1. People focus a lot on situations where they and the party are iLvL 230 and overgear an expert Dungeon. I don't feel this advice should apply to levelling healers who are in entirely uncoordinated and undergeared parties or even your run of the mill duty finder where the players you Get are often first time tanks or tanks who don't feel like using any cool downs and just want to get a tank mount. I honestly don't see how some of the stories in this thread of Selene-only healing is true when every post-50 dungeon I have run on my scholar has required full time Hp management of tanks on all of the levelling dungeons I have run. I have spammed dungeons on my scholar and often times can only get a swift cast shadowflare up as the tanks get pummeled.

    2. Threads like this send the message that it's once again fine to criticize healers and tell them how to play while it's fine for DPS to be sub-par. That fact that healers are patting themselves on the back for doing the most dps actually tells me that we really need a "dps get your act together" thread and not another "your a lazy healer if you don't dps" thread. these threads also seem to encourage actual dps to scrutinize healers for not DPSing enough when they themselves are sub-par.

    Do the people who feel no or limited need to heal only run with overgeared FC friends? The stories of perfect runs requiring little or no healing has not happened for me once and I run a lot of 4 mans as I am still levelling and gearing my healing classes.

    Nah this is how it has been on expert dungeons since the day of release when we were all in 210 or less gear, and is with random PUGs. It's generally how dungeons are on release, but it was particularly light on the healing requirement this time.
