I have always kept my party members up at 90% health or higher, used my DPS spells on adds and boss, and never struggled with my mana. I rarely have to revive anyone unless, like in that scenario, they ignored a boss mechanic.

I think I am a pretty good healer, as it is such a simple class and you can do no wrong if you've played MMOs for a long time. But hearing him blame me made me feel so defeated
Let me guess who it was you wiped to....



I'm all for Heal DPSing but as a healer you do have to be alert to this guy as he can do some rather nasty damage spikes. That being said if people die because they dont run away from each other to break the chain's its their fault not your's and if they're blaming you then your only response to them should be "why u no do mechanics?" DPSing as a healer is a good thing, being alert as a healer is a good thing, your primary role might be to heal but your heal insurance doesnt cover "death by stupidity"
