As long as the group is happy with my dps (Never had complaints) i'm OK with what I do.<br />I'm not saying it isn't nice to look at combat logs and see my name top. But all I really care about is being in a group with competent people who don't struggle to do their job in the OP.Duncnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-58389776025619603482012-11-21T17:48:08.017+00:002012-11-21T17:48:08.017+00:00Hah, I thought you were "recruiting" me ...Hah, I thought you were "recruiting" me because I had talked to Dallas about <i>maybe</i> wanting to join but couldn't make up my mind.<br /><br />I wouldn't say I'm worrying about optimising my gear... it's just this "new thing" I've discovered and it's exciting right now. I swapped a spare mod out earlier and it made my hammer shot heal for three points more.

His argument is that you shouldn't have to change anything. <br /><br />As for having too many healers, I simply feel we don't have enough tanks :P If we had 2 more tanks we could run 2 TfB HM groups a week (without using alts) :PMishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-42507020816326631282012-11-21T14:58:45.991+00:002012-11-21T14:58:45.991+00:00The way in which healing differs from DPS is that ...The way in which healing differs from DPS is that you need to heal only as much damage as is incoming and not a speck more. The key is choosing heals that won't run you out of resources and at the same time keep the group where you need it to be. You need to anticipate and be ready for the big spikes and save your big guns for those times. A lot of people can't handle it because they get crazy if there's a point where they're not casting (then they call it "boring"). I see standing doing nothing as regenerating mana/whatever that you might need in a few seconds or as an opportunity to reposition.<br /><br />DPS, on the other hand, more is always better - with the caveat that people get so entrenched in their optimal rotation, they get flummoxed when there is movement or random boss mechanics that make them have to THINK on the fly and adjust.<br /><br />Sometimes I wish the guild were running meters, but most of the time I don't miss them. I don't run personal meters right now because I'm afraid of hurting my pc's performance and also because without any baseline of comparison (i.e. the rest of the raid) it doesn't feel like the information does me much good.Njessihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364322155486548922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-644447061562491062012-11-21T14:16:24.997+00:002012-11-21T14:16:24.997+00:00Floor heals ftw!Floor heals ftw!Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-471993956319188682012-11-21T14:11:45.670+00:002012-11-21T14:11:45.670+00:00Theorycrafting for us healers in my guild, there a...Theorycrafting for us healers in my guild, there are 2 of us both being sorcerer heals, involves putting down a purple pool and when someones healing changes we discuss what changes were made.

I've seen you do it in both here and over on your old blog, so it can be done.<br /><br />One of these days we should just chill somewhere in-game.<br />Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.com
