Exactly.
How do dps who facetank / make love to lachelith's tail finish rmhm runs faster? How do dps who facetank at 2% hp regardless of where their healers are make runs faster? Obviously moping the floor with their own body over and over again cause their dmg go through the roof right? Facetanking has its time and place, no need to trash someone though and call them a sub par healer just because they suggest something else that the dps can do to improve runs.
That's not what anyone was talking about. It wasn't about 1shots or even seriously big hits. The truth, in this case, is somewhere in the middle. Yes, dps should be behind the boss and in a group(because, well, if you are facetanking for more sidedps, you are doing it wrong). However, healers should be prepared for it(even more so when dealing with slower reaction times due to ping and stuff), prelock and release instead of waiting for the hit then running around in panic trying to lock on everyone. And if a dps is being a special kind of stupid, sacrifice them and support the rest.
when i go for preemptive res's they always act so offended
................................ Oh wow.
Well played sir, very well played indeed.
i seen some things, mane.
^ This, in LKHM last boss I feel the same way about where she does the ring. I make sure to tell them to wait until she finishes trying to pull me so I can heal. I always get that one person who goes in and dies when I'm waiting for Lilith to finish pulling me. Then I get 3 others who wait and then proceed to dps.
Even if I do drop a bunch of motes on the ground for them to pick up.....to which no one ever does.
Nowadays, it's always about personal DPS. Being in the upper 10th percent on Moongourd gives people bragging rights. There are even hardcore guilds that only invite people from the top 10. So, many DPS and tanks try to go for the highest personal DPS possible. This is becoming the norm(or already has) and there isn't much you can do.
I also understand that solo healing LKHM while everyone takes damage is difficult. Feel free to tell them to be mindful of the situation but if they ignore you and keep taking damage recklessly, just do the best you can and if they die, they die. It is not your fault. Eventually one of the two things will happen 1. They will figure out that they need to dodge to live 2. You will somehow figure out how to still keep them alive.
And remember that gear =\= skill. I've seen some great players in Behemoth but I've seen some [filtered] players in Behemoth too. Many DPS classes nowadays require no brain. Truly skilled players can read the situation and know when to go all out and when not to.
Or just tell them to watch this video before playing the console version of TERA.
You forgot the third thing that will happen and the one is more common on IM.
3. The healer gets kicked from party becuase the dps blame him for not doing his job.
That is the most common thing.
