Spamming potion ain't fun.

I don't spam it that often because I make a habit of not putting myself in a scenario would I would need to. Don't unga bunga into a crowd of 3 or 4 enemies without your team and learn when to retreat to use a potion and it becomes a non-issue.

When you get focused the second you're in targeting range, spamming heals just to get away is kind of required, and especially annoying if you're melee. Today in CC my entire team was fighting the entire enemy team, I surprised them from the back and they all turned and started attacking me. That's not poor play. Sometimes I get away sometimes I don't.

If you find yourself never needing to heal, I have to wonder if you just AFK the whole time.

You must not play CC at all, or ever been a melee lmao.
Kinda hard not to when it's a lot of teamfights.

I play melee all the time. You need to know when to dive, when to run and be selective on your target. If your diving on someone further away from your team and putting yourself in a situation where you're surrounded then that's on you.

Edit to your reply to someone else:
As a drg you have survivability skills. Roar is your defensive skill and chaotic spring heals you. When I play drg I pop geirskogal, high dive, heavenly thrust while weaving roar and if I have time squeeze in a chaotic spring before using elusive jump to get out and throw out wyrmwind and nastrod.

Drg actually has the best tools to stay alive. They are the optimal hitnand run type of playstyle. If you're staying in the thick of it you're playing it wrong.

I never said that. I use recup all the time. I just don't go out of my way to put myself in situations that I need to spam it. There are absolutely times I find myself in a situation that I need to spam it while running away, but generally speaking I will mark a target, burst them and pop a recup here and there and then back off to use a potion. Backing out of a fight to pot is way better than dying and staggering through the respawn times.
