I see more and more of this in ShB than ever before, especially since SE reworked tanking so that tank stance is generally all the aggro any tank needs. WHMs throw Medica II pre pull whether you’re in a dungeon or a trial, in casual or in savage, and now ASTs in Diurnal Stance have slowly started to follow suit.

As a WHM main, this irks me to no end. This is one of my two great pet peeves in a cohealer: prepull healing / needless overhealing. If the battle hasn’t even begun, why are you casting Medica II or Aspected Helios? It almost always falls off before the first raidwide anyway, so please explain yourself. Do you really miss Protect that much? (I do too, sad face.)

The MP issues the overuse of Medica II generates is what is most worrisome to me. I understand that the healing ticks are comforting to inexperienced or undergeared healers, or in new content, but this runs quickly into having very little resources when you need them. This is related to my second pet peeve: healers who don’t cast Raise. Sometimes they prefer to DPS instead, some wait for Swiftcast because the party will just all perish violently if they so much as thought about hard casting, some are just plain inattentive—then there are those healers, the ones we’re talking about, who are out of MP because they’ve casted 17 Medica IIs / Aspected Helios in the first seven minutes of the alliance raid.

This is unnecessary and it’s problematic for me, your cohealer. And in four man content, this is why you’ve taken aggro and died before the tank realized that entering the duty has turned his tank stance off.
