    The DPS is not the Healer

    Something that doesn’t makes any sense but is happening a lot on this expansion with the changes in healing.

    The tank nicely aks the healer if he can do a large pull. From no where the Dps answer. Well if you want to answer you can go as a healer.

    I have no problem with large pulls, but is annoying.

    I'm sorry that you have issues with tanks pulling at a reasonable speed?

    So long as the healer at least knows where they put their keyboard, the DPS are just as important in that equation as the healer and tank. If things don't die before CDs run out, soon the tank does instead.

    The healer is asked because if he can't handle it you run into the mobs and die.
    If the DPS can't handle it you notice it yourself because the mobs die slow, in which case most tanks will proceed with smaller pulls too.

    Everyone needs to be on board with large pulls. Even if the tank and healer are cool with it, if the DPS can't (or won't) put out enough damage to kill the adds quickly, the pull can fail. Obviously, if the DPS are the only ones asking for large pulls, they don't get to dictate that either, and if they're forcing large pulls, they deserve a kick. But pulling is a team effort, and everyone needs to be up for it.

    Or DPS can just go with the flow and stop feeling so entitled.

    But that's just my opinion though (as a DPS player).

    Nothing he said was wrong though, but way to throw out "entitled" like we're playing buzzword bingo.

    As a healer, I've already been placed in multiple groups where a healer ragequit because of the tank pulling too much and they weren't able to keep up. Maybe the DPS players are just tired of waiting on new healers or requeuing after an abandon.

    Pulling multiple waves with a healer is AF gear and not even full 430/440 accessories isn't much fun. Yes it's nice for a tank to ask but in reality they most don't.
