A Healer's request to groups in dungeons:

[Tint]

I long ago got fed up of tanks that can't wait 3 seconds that I stopped giving them protect if they ran off. They do that crap now they'll find themselves without protect and me unable to give it to them since I have it on macro now and can only cast it outside of battle. It's only 3 seconds that makes everyones life easier.

i played healer and nothing else for 3 years and i have seen plenty of tanks running off without protect. yeah, it's annoying.
however, now i played tank and it happens from time to time that i just forgot to wait at the start for protect.
i understand both sides now.

and: as a tank i wait for protect, if i don't forget it, and i feel sorry if i remember that i should have waited for protect, if it happens that i run off without it.

but in the end i also don't care much if you don't give me protect. this is YOUR tool to make YOUR life easier. i don't have to heal me with 15% defense less. if you don't cast protect you are just punishing yourself.
