Some healers make me panic

[Masekase_Hurricane]

You know what's fun? Be in voice chat with your healer. When you hear them screaming in terror when you're at 20%, you may proceed to panic. Their butt is clenching just as tight as yours at this point. xDD

LOL I do this to one my tanks all the time on discord, all I hear is mase..mase.MASE! MASE!!

[Dregenfox]

In all honesty tanking in most dungeons is so boring that I occasionally let my tank drop to <20% while dps'ing to make sure he doesn't fall asleep. (Same for me).

[Exiled_Tonberry]

I usually let Tanks drop to around 30% before I take action, 50% if I don't have insta heals.

I sometimes get the tanks that scream "heals!?", but I really rather not stop in the middle of my DPS just to heal you when I know you'll be fine.

You really gotta trust your healer with this. Just like you know how much damage you can handle, we know how low your HP can drop before we need to heal.

Alternatively do what I do: When you drop quietly give them a death glare and huff at friends. If it's just a poorly timed C2, shrug it off and adjust pulls accordingly. If they looked like they were just spamming S4 like a bot, kick them. Bots don't belong in group content.

Thanks for idea for a macro, Thunda Cat!

I absolutely hate this kind of healers who tries to 'push dps' at expense of more healing. Good healer is the one who keeps me alive and don't make me feel like I could die at any moment. Healer dps isn't really such a big deal. Now, if healer dps and:
1) any dd dies - now that's a big dps loss.
2) tank dies - possible wipe
I'd say big risk for... little bit of extra dps healer provides?
I'd rather have healer just heal and throw dps once in a while when it's really safe than recklessly pushing his dps and risking failing his job which is... KEEPING PARTY ALIVE!

You need to chill.

I've seen healers drop me to basically nothing and pull me back up. Until a healer gives me reason not to, I assume they know what they're doing. The power of healing in this game is wasted by keeping the tank topped off.

It's true that if anyone dies it's a DPS loss. However, if no one dies, it's a DPS gain. The fact really is that the more DPS a healer puts out, the less they need to heal.

Obviously I will take measures to ensure the tank won't die before I start Holy spam, like casting Divine Bension. However, if a DPS dies because they were sitting in some AoE, that's their fault. I remember someone reported a healer for DPSing when he was standing in AoEs, and the GM sided with the healer.

[Aeeninwen_Taldel]

I had a healer try to DPS + heal me when they first did the healing nerf, it didn't go so well. First mob I died, then after that I started watching my health bar. Was slightly stressful at first, but no deaths after that point.

[KDSilver]

Calm down fumofu.
Healers who do let tanks have their bar on low life know what they are doing and will keep everyone alive.

When you have spend a lot of time healing in this game, you know how to analyze damages your tank is taking.

I'm part of those. None of my tanks has ever die. None have complain about it. Everything were always fine.
I however adjust. If I see the tank i'm running with not using defensive cooldown and take huge amount of damages, I sometimes won't dps at all.
