Seduce after killing adds, something is in the wrong order here buddy!

I wish it had more pixels so I could read it though.

Or as my healers used to say: "Don't stand in stupid" They also said something like "you can't heal stupid", but I was dead so who cares.

Leveling as a Mage is the fucking worst... Everyone dies before you get that fireball off...

Where's the "call tank shitty after one wipe" for DPS and "yell HEAL ME YOU ASSHOLE" for tanks?

Hey some puddles of poop you need to stand in, like the puddles in Xavius when killing adds in Phase 2 if you're in the dream simulator.

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

I mean it's mostly unrealiable anyway. It's funny but ultimately irrelevant. A lot of adds needs to be ignored/not priotitized.

no no, those are puddles of mountain dew.

I wish DPS would interrupt

The kill all adds thingy really depends on the situation. Instead of blindly following this, read and watch tactics before joining the raid.

I had to seriously pause and think "Who or what is a DAVID SHAMAN?" for far too long

Nice! This will help newbies (like myself) who are new to raiding.

Pretty accurate for ff14 as well

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

for the healer chart, though, it's pretty expected to use your extra time at the end to cleric stance and toss the deeps instead of dance.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

To be honest, just do what everyone else in your class is doing. You're likely not MT not Heals anyways. DPS and stand the same stuff/place.

Also join a progression guild. I join Amok and uts been a blast learning as i go along and help i get is great

Always kill the adds first!

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

This. As a support player nothing worse than being over run by adds everyone else is ignoring.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

For real. On my healer I have /yell ADDS macro'd specifically for this.

Aahh crowd control old friend.

I got yelled at and killed by a healer who said I pulled aggo when I SO didn't and it really pissed me off and I have no life.

Can be adapted to other MMORPGs as well.

Missing a few roles like Support Buffs, and designated puller to bring the group mobs to kill.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Most modern MMOs. WoW didn't create the holy Trinity.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

There is nothing in here about DPS pulling the mobs and yelling at heals. Or tanks running out of LOS and whinging. Isn't that the norm?

9 years ago | Likes 204 Dislikes 3

an unwritten rule that is essential to every online game.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

If you're pugging a group that's the norm, like LFR (aka looking for retards). normal guild group, usually no, unless it's casual.

9 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 1

Well of course it isn't. These are basic tactics, what you're describing are expert tactics.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

There's also nothing about tank(s) leaking and getting healer(s) killed, and then complaining when wiped

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Ah. Neglected that also.

As a tank for 7 years in every game that i can be a tank. Healers would also focus on their fav dps or their buddy

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

As a healer in every game I can be I call bullshit. But my best buddy usually is the tank. Or a really tanky dps that aggro better'n'tank

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

I prioritise the tank when I'm healing and heal dps if necessary. Unless a dps constantly pulls stuff. He doesn't get healed until he learns

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Thanks to addons i can see who gets most heals on the party and kick both. Tanks have so many cooldowns they can use. So we need to save som

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

it's clear this post has a pro-tank bias...as a healer, fucking go where I tell you or die

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 4

Or tanks that consistently lose aggro to DPS, and still manage to die somehow anyway.

Or my personal favorite- "I thought Endure Pain was a heal"

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

This shit is why I don't do group stuff. I don't care enough to read what all my skills do.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

Everyone has to learn it somehow, my point is against people trying to progression raid without any clue what the fuck they're doing.

Healing is wrong. Don't dance when bored. Dps

When mana is precious, wasting any on a quick shadow word pain isn't worth it. Try telling the tank "sorry, spent it trying to attack."

9 years ago | Likes 24 Dislikes 3

Not in WoW. If you're a healer and you're not DPS'ing in healing downtime, you're doing it wrong. Doesn't matter if you do or not in NM/HC.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

WoW specifically, almost all healers have a mana-free dps mechanic. Like priests. Smite is free to cast now, and can give you healing procs.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Depends on the game, but I almost never DPS because I'm healing not only the tank but majority of the party too.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Most dps abilites are free/have very low mana cost these days.

Mage here, what's "OOM?" It's never happened to me before

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

If you build it right and manage your mana, you should never truly be OOM.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 2

Well mistakes do happen. Also if you are healing a squishier group oom might not be a choice. It might not always be you. But I agree w/you

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Fair enough, I'll concede the point. I remember when DEF cap was a thing and tanks would lie about it and get Crit...

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

We have a casual, fairly large WoW guild. Afew times we've had 30man raid with 2-4 ranged dps... Hellish to heal on movement/ shit on the ->

ground fights... But you work with what you get :)

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Depends on the game. In final fantasy 14, for example, a lot of raid encounters are designed to make the healers optimize their healing(1)

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

and then use the extra mana and time gained from that optimization to get a bit of damage in. An optimized healer can often manage to (2)

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

squeeze an extra ~500 raid dps while still doing their job, or about 1/4 to 1/3 of an extra dps. (3/3)

It's true. My static WHM just hit the accuracy cap for A12S and has been going HAM in Alex Savage lol
