    I've had people complain or just leave the pt because all I did was heal.
    Idc I'm still going to main heal, I'll throw in a dps here and there but I'm not 1 of those healers who will allow the tanks health to drop to 10% before healing.
    These new kids playing this game have adhd.

    Yeah because making the dungeon go longer because you don’t do damage when the tank doesn’t need healing is definitely a better solution

    Skills like ED even bias lower health as they become stronger, standing there healing and only doing damage if everyone is at 100% is just excessive pointless overheal

    If you're going to do no DPS, please at least have the decency to stand around and do nothing instead of spamming Cures at my full health bar. The spell noise is annoying.

    What else are you doing if you're only tossing a dps spell ''here and there''?
    Because it's the heals you should only be casting ''here and there''. There's very little incoming damage in this game, and almost all of it is telegraphed. It sounds like you're overhealing a lot or you're just standing around doing nothing. The latter will make people leave because they think you're afk.

    The "new kids" have the decency to constantly contribute something meaningful instead of overhealing and semi-afking.
    You could learn a thing or two from them.
    And 10% is still alive. As long as nobody died it was fine. End of story. You don't get bonus points for keeping someone extra healthy.

    Better yet, healing someone from critically low HP gives you bonus LB gauge. The game contains an incentive system for playing chicken with HP.

    Pssssst

    You don't need to let a tank drop to 10% to do very decent damage.

    Here's an older log from back when I actually cared

    1 single drop to 30% in the entire dungeon, another to 50%. The rest of the run they were 75% or higher the entire time.

    I did 24.59% of the groups dps and the run landed at 97th percentile, so pretty solid.

    Not DPSing isn't a Tank's HP problem, it's a you problem.

    A shame since Living Dead is basically a DRK's benediction in AOE pulls now. I saw DRKs pop it and decided to stop healing entirely and let them heal themselves.

    Felt amazing.

    This right here. Tanks have very powerful self healing tools. So the game wants us to heal less! If you treat the healer rotation as a DPS rotation while weaving heals you'll be (still bored but) happier than casting a bunch of slow GCD heals that overheal and the mobs go down sooooo muuuuuch sloweeeeeer....
