How to easily have healers dps engaged ( yet another thread)

[Azuri]

This is a really fascinating thing that dawned on me. He simply can't get it. To him it's really not mostly pressing a single button because 30% of the time he presses none at all.

If you take an average healer run with 80% of all casts being Glare (yes, Renathras, this includes GCDs and oGCDs) and remove 30% of GCD uptime while adding some "safety Cure III spam" (the rest of us can read "pointless overhealing") you really do end with maybe less than half of your casts being Glare. And yeah, I can see how one might find it actually fine. Just because they don't know better.

There really is no point trying to explain that healer design is awful and no, "you can have three healers that work well and leave one in the trash for me" will never be an acceptable compromise. He just fundamentally lacks the understanding to get it.

"There’s nothing worse than when you’re debating someone who has no idea what they’re talking about, is obviously a fool, and to make it worse, smells like dirty socks.

Ugh. It’s just the worst. And they need to know just how uninformed they are (and that they smell like dirty socks).

Actually, they don’t. When your argument strays from the issue at hand to criticisms of the person you’re arguing with, you’re no longer communicating logically. Instead, you’re making an ad hominem attack."
