Prepulling mobs as healer

[TheMightyMollusk]

I heard they recently discovered an ancient method called "communication" which can be accessed through something called "chat". I know players still have to get used to this brand-new feature but i believe someday we are actually able to ask first before we do stuff.

Just kidding, we are here to rush from wall to wall!

BURN THE WITCH!

I see these comments about how negligible damage is and how tank is a braindead job - but why do we still have wipes then? And no, not because someone wasn't using their cds. Tanks die, healers die, dps die, or everyone wipes, and it's not something extraordinary and unheard of. Just because jobs are dumbed down, they still require some coordination and cd management. If tank is out of everything and you rush ahead just because you want to speed up the run by winning 48 seconds in a pug group, it's not going to work really well.

In case you are responding to OP, I get pretty annoyed in these forums in general with how people tend to cherry pick which part of the post they take into consideration before replying.

Quotes from original post:

Please don't bother replying if you're just going to ignore the situation I described in original post. I'm not saying prepulling as healer is always okay, only in given specific situation.

I usually don't prepull even when I know I can without problems, except for some cases, like in those lvl 50/60/70 dungeons. Sometimes I literally have to use maybe 5 healing abilities (oGCD/GCD) throughout whole dungeon even when tank pulls wall to wall. They are an absolute joke to heal through and thus they are very boring as healer cause you're stuck spamming 1 dps ability all the time.

Meanwhile tank proceeds to not go beyond 80% health without any healing. Everyone is completely overgeared to the point they may solo the entire dungeon.

I'm responding to a number of people stating the point addressed by my post, or more generally "tanking is easy, just press aoe". It has nothing to do with you alone. No need to get defensive.
