Do you prefer to Tank or Heal?

[Cythil]

Also why do you prefer this?

[LaylaTsarra]

I prefer to heal. I find tanking very stressful in DF although it can be lots of fun with friends.

[Misutoraru]

Prefer heal, like other mention i found tanking too stressful in DF, I only tank with my FC

Been tanking for the majority of it, and someone told me to switch to healing to understand the stress of being a healer. I did just that, Just got my Conjurer to WHM, having a blast so far since easy to keep your distance to see the area around you and fun skills to keep people alive, if get bored can pew pew some.

I wish I could do both at the same time. No matter what I pick, I inevitably get matched with an undergeared potato or a Buddy McNobuttons.

I end up playing healer most nowadays since tanks are easy to votekick out if they're exceptionally bad. It just so happens that bad tanks seem to be less common than awful healers.

It takes me 2-3 dungeons runs as a tank to get the groove down but the stress returns every new dungeon.
I feel like tanks have a lot to do, especially in raids.
Know every single mechanic to the tee + tank swaps so they don't kill everyone or themselves.
I won't tank trials/dungeons, too much for me. I do feel a bit better/safer with a friend with me.

Tanking is always stressful for me - Pt wipes? blame the tank! Not pulling enough mobs, blame the tank! I struggled with multi-pack pulls before 5.0... I'll have to try it out now post-xpac.

Healing has always been second nature to me... I find it really relaxing!

Healz. Mostly 'cause I have trust issues and don't like relying others to heal. xD And tanxiety is still something I occasionally struggle with, but far less now that enmity management is nonexistant.

I prefer to tank because although there's always some DPS that can't turn autorun off, at the end of the day I get to lead. I don't have to worry about being able to keep up with anyone. I'm the one that gets to drive, no matter how many backseat drivers I have with me.

Depends on the content...if it's an alliance raid with adds/mechanics that cause a tank to disappear from the arena for a bit, then I prefer to tank because so many times I've died as a SAM during something like that when the boss decides I look like a nice snack.

For healing, I prefer to do that in dungeons because they aren't as hectic(and I'm a mediocre healer at best)....but DPS is my go-to pretty much 99% of the time when I don't have much left to level(or am not going after very specific achievements - like tank mounts)
