    Dear Healers

    I know you want us to tank the Goliath tanks so the raid doesnt get hit by the tankbusters.
    So if you want us to continuing to tank them we'd really appreciate the 2 of you not hanging over the opposite side of the map with the tank that we are not tanking.
    Regards: the tank that keeps dying due to getting zero heals tanking the other Goliath in every single Nier run.

    Except from experience from every run all parties run and attack one goliath tank while a tank is left alone bar maybe 2 dps with them that end up getting agro when the tank dies.
    I've yet to see a run where there have been seperate parties for each goliath.

    The job with one of the best invulnerabilities, and the most self healing, complaining about a lack of heals and dying. C'mon man.

    Though I'd agree, healers not helping out tanks not in their party is an issue. Always fun to see a combination 6 WHM/AST and not a single regen on the tank.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    I got one.

    Dear healer, regardless of whether or not I am the main tank in the alliance raid or not, I am still in your party, and require support just like the DPS. I am not trying to fight the current main tank for aggro, nor am I purposely taking unnecessary damage, I am merely maintaining my place on the threat table. If the main tank happens to die, they did, I expect my healers to be supporting me. I don't wanna hear any bullcrap that I am fighting for dominance, or that because I am not the MT I don't need to be healed. The point is "I" am in "YOUR" party, so you are supposed to support us first, and the other parties second. But what do I know, I just main healer and care about my party's safety.

    Fruckin Pleeb. Yes this is a real thing that happened to me. A healer in my party, for a WoD run wouldn't heal me because I wasn't the MT. Meanwhile the other Tanks kept dying because they were new and inexperienced and so, as it should, threat defaulted to me. But because I "wasn't the MT" they wouldn't heal me. Which caused me to die, and nearly wiped us several times. Even though at that moment I was the MT. Yeah, to say I was bitter is an understatement.

    That's ridiculous. Regardless of your position at least one healer should be prioritizing you. No excuses. Especially if you've got one of the tanks.

    Unfortunately the attitude this expac seems to be 'you're not the leader anymore, just a meatshield for bosses and for whatever we bring to you.' And while I have no patience for the entitled attitudes of the past where tanks were concerned, this is just as bad if not worse.

    I feel stupid for even suggesting this, but perhaps make a macro for Provoke with a sound effect that lets the party know what tank you're taking. The healers really should be paying better attention but I've gotten the damage blinders on before too so I can't really condemn anyone. Or just type in chat 'hey, I'm on the other tank, can I get some heals?'

    In any case, thank you for your service. o7

    I rarely ever tank but that is pretty much the point where I stop tanking and take the whole raid, screaming and flailing with me unto death.

    Yeah.

    that is a joke right?
    no healer in his right mind wouldn't heal his own party tank cause he isn't main tank,seriously if such a healer exist it would be humiliating as someone playing a healer to know such stupidity exists.

    Blame the DPS. That's how this works. It's how we've survived forever. Don't rock the boat!
