Heal more instead of dpsing

[technole]

i think it was Cinder Drift NM but some random RDM complained saying "I guess I'll heal myself" when they were 75% HP, which they did. I just responded paper cut. There isn't another AoE for another minute so you wait for lily, and not this whole full-at-all-times these newbies have in their heads.

Eventually they died on their own accord to some other mechanic, so that was that.

This goes all the way to end game like savage, DPS tend to be the biggest chads to healers, bar none. Outside of heal range, not standing in bubbles kind of things.

“Heal more”—makes me want to heal less, and often I do.

The most annoyed I have been recently was when Memoria Ex came out. The DPS/heal/tank check between phases, we had a tank whose controller died so we died. A DPS immediately blamed me. “Heal more, you’re only casting Glare.” Well, yes. Because you’re already under both Asylum and Medica II, and all my subsequent heals are instant. Do you not see the Plenary and Rapture procs? That’s me...

The other healer was an Astro and wasn’t majorly healing at all because they were just sitting under their CU. When the tank came clean, there was no apology.

It’s players like this that make me not want to heal. If you call someone out on their healing, and least know their class enough to know that they truly aren’t healing.

Personally I tend to react positively if whoever pleading for more healing or planned healing would mention the spell/abilities name, like: "Can you use [Essential Dignity] for <insert part>" ; "Can you save [Benediction] for <insert part>" ; "Can you take out seraph at <insert part>".
Simply asking for more healing, especially if I'm actually already doing the most fundamental healing requirement would just deter me from healing.

As a healer main, I normally agree. However, I was running Matoya's as a DNC, I kid you not, she did not heal anyone. I stayed on half health and healed myself for a majority of the boss fights (which also led me to die once due to having to get a vuln stack since she refused to move for something and I had to change directions.) She would let the tank ht maybe 10k health on pulls before she'd stop casting DPS spells. Sometimes, honestly, stop DPSing and heal more.

They literally said they died once.

Why yes, I did. I even said so.

Matoya is a bad example, given that the damage going out is so low, and it serves as the primary example of the problem. Warriors can solo heal the entire thing without breaking a sweat, and while this is doable in other dungeons, its particularly effortless in Matoyas.

You can get by pretty easily with minimal healing on DRK as well, can't say much for PLD/GNB since I don't play those 2 much
