If you queued up to heal a dungeon, heal everyone (within reason). Stop thinking the only person that needs a heal is tank. Its a crummy attitude carried from other games. That said, obviously healers should prioritize the Tank over the floormat that dies 20 times a fight. But, you can at least try to keep everyone alive rather than standing around doing nothing while 3 people are dead on the floor.
Not to buff is bad also, but I admit on my Mystic, sometimes I just forget til someone says something. It isnt always intentional. Not sure why I have to reclick my buffs anytime I zone into a dungeon. Its like forgetting to use a spellbind. Sometimes I just forget.
Except that, unlike WoW, here you actually have dodges. So no, you really shouldn't get hit much unless it's unavoidable damage. If you're experienced in a dungeon, you might never get hit period unless RNG decides to screw you. How do you think people managed slaying pre-nerf SCHM runs? It wasn't with DPS that got hit.
I don't expect everyone to be that good when I heal (especially if they're new to a dungeon), and I usually save others before I save myself depending on the situation, because there are things I'll survive and they won't (except when I'm learning a HM - priests be squishy). But telling healers not to ever blame DPS for getting hit? Occasional hits, okay, np. DoTs? Usually unavoidable, sometimes avoidable depending on the dungeon. If you're getting hit by almost every attack though, that is your fault, and your healer has every right to single you out for it. If I can avoid most attacks with one iframe on a healer, DPS can certainly do it a hell of a lot easier - even if it's your first run.
People like this > kick. Simple. Not havin Gear, Crystals, Buff Food get em out. I wont Carry those and they roll all [filtered] for doing nothing.
I had a Run in DF NM while im in full Starfall i dont need Gear, but others did. One guy rolled anything, even a 2nd pair boots and belt after he got each 1. As Top Dps (by far) i said lets kick them or i wont continue, lucky they listened and we kicked that braindead.
Not that you get Feedstock back from Drops anymore, where people were that egoistic and rolled on Needs....
There actually is a reason to roll on gear you already have, now that we can't dismantle it anymore. You can enchant gear using pieces of the same name. So people rolling on things they already have has only gotten more common, and for good reason, given the low availability of feedstock this patch.
That said, there's no reason to roll on a second belt if someone else needs it. But for gear I'd understand.
Either the healers you're getting are new and don't quite know how to play yet, or even what's expected of them beyond keeping someone's HP bar full and resurrecting corpses.
They could be struggling with the dungeon itself or being pressured by their group, in which case they'll let things like endurance debuffing, mana charging, dropping [filtered] or corruption ring slip.
They could on the other hand just be lazy. I don't think that's the case with the one's I've seen, I think they legitimately just picked up the class and are struggling with knowing what's expected or what to fill the time with in between not needing to heal players immediately.
If I were you I'd let them know what they should be doing, but saying it in a way that doesn't sound attacking. It's sometimes the only way to improve, if you're not actively going out and asking people of the same role/class for advice.
A brand new player can pick up the founder title on Amazon for cheap. What does that have to do with experience?
I encountered a priest like this once last patch in an IM KDNM. He wasn't using Triple Nem, so I asked why, and when it was obvious that he didn't know about the glyph, I told him about it, and that he should always be using it to speed up runs. He left the run thanking me for letting him know. Some people might just be too new to know about all the things they have to do, and instead of getting advice, they get yelled at.
On the other hand, healers who say they know about buffs and debuffs but give some excuse for not using them or are just plain rude about it...that's not acceptable.
Once you get used to the dungeon, getting hit sometimes is actually good provided you're not a Ninja or a Lancer. It lets you pull off more damage and a good DPS will know which hits they can facetank to deal more damage with and which ones they can't (ones that hit too hard or apply a CC).
My way of thinking as a dps is to make as much dps as possible, and to make healer's job as easy as possible, why jump around, disappear/teleport or something, or iframe jumping around, instead of staying still near the healer then go back to dps; many times i've seen priests run after dps that panic when they are low hp and then die (and even blame the healer lol), just go to your healer calmly, he'll heal ur booboo.
It makes everything smoother, the problem is that most dps have their ego through the roof, big numbers, big epeeen, so when they get hit they think they can survive anything and not get hit again.
Well we are not bots, we can get hit more than once, people need to understand that. Just because i'm a warrior with many iframes doesn't mean ima stay at the back of the boss in almost nonexisting hp risking myself, giving the healer more things to do than what's already being done. And on top of that dps is prolly going to die and make priest res the dps. Not only losing dps but wasting healer's time.
When i was told this, mystics weren't really popular, everyone wanted priests on their parties. Nowadays mystics drop motes everywere, killing a boss is like killing a mob with mechanics and hard hits, just pick up motes if you're kinda low.
Smooth runs everyone, gl.
Oh.. didnt know u could get the founder tittle.. thats new to me
And yeah! i always tell ppl why.. After he said that i even explained about the glyph and everything.. but he still kept the say speech.. I dont yell at ppl.. i gave my advice, if he wants to listen or not, its not my problem... lol but ure right, I see a lot of ppl yelling at each other on low lvl dgs... My guess is that they think that everyone is just lvlin an alt... they probably forget that they might be totally new to the game...
OMG. I feel like I am with 13 year olds( i may be,in fact). They run in opposite directions and then [filtered] when i cant heal them. How can I protect them all when they are so far apart and no one stays in one spot long enough? Plus no is pulling aggro so i am getting hit...and i have cloth. Of course lately everyone seems to be a ninja so the dungeon groups arent very diverse. Hey, I am more than willing to try and improve my skills though it seems most people want a ready made perfect priest without giving you the time to learn and improve. It is quite depressing.
Who knew, over 100k crit heals is "not that much". Learned something new today....
