Why am I suddenly so popular? {WoW}
Aug 18th 2009 6:12PM The last part of this TBH, I go into heroics with 33570 HP Unbuffed and I'm just way overgeared for it, i mean even the healers tell mem you are so boring to heal since i Miss/Dodge/Parry/Block every hit, i see the healer just standing there.
Frankly it gets BORING to tank heroics, I go in hit a few keys and then I'm done, no special need to manage any cooldowns, no super damage that I have to look out for, just plain boring -1000 damage (thats if it hits me and it rarely does...)
Nowadays I've started to 2 man heroics with no healer (im a prot pally and i have a ret pally friend with me) and that is a lot more fun, I need to look out for my cooldowns and inc damage.
So it is a bit of burnout, but mainly just the snoozefest that is the heriocs today...
Do tanks get the most out of PuGs? {WoW}
Jul 26th 2009 2:40PM Allison,
your new problem is this "I've healed normal 5-mans" Healing PuGs is a lot harder and a lot more work than tanking them.
As a tank you just make sure you have the mobs, as a healer it is totally different especially if your tank and DPS aren't functioning optimally.
I have tanked, healed and DPS'd the all 5 mans and healing is always the one with more stress and more responsibility. Tanks can mess up and let a DPS take an add (or a DPS can over agro) and you are the one who has to deal with it since you are healing.
"My Shaman, by contrast, can do very little about these problems except attempt to outheal whatever damage results -- and I've learned that I can't always do this. Healers are at the mercy of everyone else's gear, experience, and latency, and it makes a sad kind of sense that so many of them are adamant about vetting potential groups before getting themselves involved." At least you understand the problem (unlike some of the healers I have been with =/)
Good Luck with your shaman hitting 80!
