Dear PLDs

[Izsha]

What I am saying is your claim is weak, for reasons such as:
1) you dont clearly define "good" and "bad" healers
2) the only measurement you're using is the an undefined frequency of wipes.
3) you aren't taking into account other negative factors such as pulling small or under-pulling

Here are some examples of why the items above break your argument:
1) (For the sake of thread irony: ) If someone defines a bad healer as a healer who would heal a tank when they are near full hp, I run into them fairly frequently.

2) If the healer has cure II as an option, but decides cure I is the way to go when the tank makes a large pull and a wipe occurs, it is the healer's fault. It doesnt matter how often it happens.

3) If the tank prevents a wipe from occurring by breaking a section into multiple pulls because he recognized the healer was bad, the healer is still bad. wipes arent the only thing that matters.
Likewise, if the tank is constantly underpulling, that doesnt mean the healer is good, it means the tank is bad.

Youre redefining the issue. The original 'issue' described that I'm responding to was healers that DPS to much and cause wipes ("bad healers") and an implication that there are a lot of these 'bad healers' that are frequently causing wipes.

I had too many wipes with the healer forgetting to heal me, because they were so focused on spreading their dots on mobs instead and i have enough of that pushing healers to do dps bullcrap, that makes those who are bad to be worse healers than heal only with 3 buttons keyboard, thats not helping...
Wiping doesnt make things smooth at all.

Which is a common sentiment expressed on these forums, not just this 1 post. To which I pointed out that a healer doing some DPS has rarely, if ever been the cause of wipes in my dungeons, and certainly not the implied frequency in the quoted post (and similar "bad healers are DPSing everywhere posts/threads). Instead I offer a more rational option. If you regularly have trouble dealing with (insert dungeon pug problem), then the only thing in common with all those groups of entirely random and unrelated people doing dungeons is you and your play. Look inward before looking to blame outward. You can avoid the evil wipes with a variety of tactics, gear, and skill with all but the most abysmally terrible healer.
