disagree with your resptful


Teake, i resptfully disagree with your resptful disagreement. I'm here to play and have fun, and someone sning heals on my target is taking that fun away from me, and making me stand with my thumb up my butt doing nothing. Also, if they are healing my target, then they are not healing their target, and this makes raid effiey go waaaay down. When ppl start disregarding their assgnments, then I have no idea whh of my healersan take how mh responsibility, and whoan oran't fulfil their role...whh makes healing assigments harder. Plus it makes me a sad bunny that someone thinks i'm not good enough to heal my target and fulfil my role, and wants to babysit me o.O O i ahve no objtion to someone else safelyhking a heal onto my target if they are in real trouble, or I am in real trouble *shrug*. It's not about healing meters (and i'm di anyway, so left that sort o'thing behind me months ago :P ). But yeah, trust me to be good enough to do my job. I'll shriek if i need help, thanks! DPS if you have nothing to do ;)
As Di we have the most amazing arsenal of tools to help others out ie huge shield and pain suppression. These have saved many dps without heals. I always use these first over heals although I do throw renew around. I think in many ways for me the key to effiey is having tools available to help me best assess any given situation and tailor my spells cordingly. I use grid and I have all the information I ever need right in those little squares. Top left red dot, target has aggro (very useful to see if a dps willontinue to take damage due to overaggro or similar or they just got unlky with some aoe) Top right green dot (target has renew on them, don'tast it again) Bottom left green dot, ioming heals (instants don't show so Ian never predtOH e but at least Ian predt a flash healgreater heal or POM) Bottom right, blue dot rejuvenaterevitalize (druid hots so my right hand bar shows essentially who has some hots and who has none so Ian prioritize cordingly) I also have it set so the name fades if they go out of range (espially useful for buffs or fights involving mh movement) The targets name ALWAYS displays and it also displays warnings for DEAD, F.D., OFFLINE so I am not healing someone who isn't there. The middle flashes an on up if someone gets hit by something Ian dispell. The only thing I haven't figured out (and loads of praise and rate ups for anyone whoan tell me how to do this) is how to eludeertain spells from doing this pop up thing on grid? I have an aane mage in my raid group but itonstantlyomes up flashing when heasts something that ireases his aane damage for x time as it is mag. I have got used to what looks "bad" and what looks "good" but a way to make it ignore known friendly mag spells would be fabulous. By the way huge overheal > dead dps... On another side note I NEVER dps as a healer as I have my task bar (I use Blizz one, yeah I know but Ian't hk the others they justonfuse me) entirely full of heals(shield, penae, pain suppression as well as flash heal, POH, POM e) I have a sond task bar above but this is bound to f keys andontains things like inner fus, power infusion, dispel mag, mass dispel,ure disease, fade and resurrt as well as several "oh %$*!" mros and my shkle and mindontrol. I have no room for dps and I don't want to swih bars to my smite bar (less heals more smiteholy fire) as by the time I swih and startasting I'd have to swih bk again. I don't want me pumping out a whole 1k dps only to nearly kill someone due to unexpted aoe or similar. I heal bause that's what I want to do. If I want to DPS, I sp shadow. If you really want to dps, throw Holy Nova about a bit...
for PvP I like climation in PvP,
