Lore Incentive Is Ruining Duty Roulette

[DarkmoonVael]

By shield magic are you referring to nocturnal sect? If so things go far smoother on AST in dungeons in diurnal sect.

Second dont get too cut up with protect and stoneskin. If you want to cast them at the start and people wait to let you, then all is good. If the tank runs off then you know you have a little bit of an issue at the moment so expect silly pulls and lack of cooldowns most likely, but you may be pleasantly surprised and all turns out good. You can just wait until you catch up and cast protect. Lightspeed can be useful in dungeons if your tank needs to be cure bombed.

As a healer you need thick skin in this game, as you do get DF people who just think you can carry their terrible skill level through the dungeon. People soon realise that a healer really does set the pace of a dungeon more often than not. If a tank is so much of a problem, sometimes it is a good idea to leave the duty if its that bad. There is no point on stressing yourself out and putting yourself under a stupid amount of pressure to compensate for someone else, especially a stranger in DF who can not act reasonably. Other solution is to kick a problematic tank, you will find that others may support you.
