"Guide" to Dealing with Tanks as a Healer

[Kabzy]

Or you can stop being a snowflake and perform your best regardless of what content you are doing. Honestly we have no idea what is going on behind someone else's screen, so the best thing to do is help them out where necessary, and continue to perform well yourself. Stooping down is a classless thing for anyone to do.

We are also lucky to be healers in this scenario, as we have the power to carry questionable groups in most content. Feel bad for the DPS who have to put up with terrible tanks and healers!!

Which is why I said to not take stuff seriously. While I do believe tanks are divided mostly like this, I would never stop healing completely or be lazy. This is more of a "Hey tanks...watch out..we could do this to you."

Fixed it for you.

3. If someone pisses you off....you are the one who controls their survival. Good luck to them without heals

I'm not saying that you're wrong for being frustrated, but you're not really conveying a good message to anyone here.

At least I gave a warning at the top in bold to not take this seriously. Tanks do need to remember to be nice to healers though as long as the healer is trying.

Editing your post after people have replied to it isn't really a 'warning'. It's more a "I effed up and need to rectify this somehow".

Either way, even as a joke it's not exactly amusing. Forums seem to exaggerate a lot, the community itself is hardly ever that toxic in game. From my own experiences I can only count maybe two times when I've been in a party which is hostile the way you are describing; And I've been playing for over 4 years now. Most people just get on with it, or at least that's how it is in the Chaos data center. There's no need to advocate such behaviour when this post obviously wasn't a joke to begin with. (If it genuinely was, then you need to work on that xD )

Um...it had the warning that this is a joke, don't take it seriously since the beginning. I edited and added the "I am being sarcastic" thing.

You edited that warning in after getting various responses. Lol.

No. I added the line about sarcasm. Nothing else.

I'm the "Whatever Tank".

If a DPS pulls, I'll simply take it off him.
If the healer isn't healing much, I'll do low pulls.
If the dps is low, I'll do low pulls.
If the healer gets mad because I won't drop tank stance, I'll Shirk him.

The End!
