When they mindlessly copy stuff, they can't react when things change or go wrong.Keredriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03207180365848283163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601885929616016080.post-46407722081152534112009-06-03T10:56:37.117-07:002009-06-03T10:56:37.117-07:00Je ne sais quoi...
It's the same thing that ...Je ne sais quoi...<br /><br /><br />It's the same thing that makes a good DPS player....<br /><br />There are the people who memorize the rotations and what people tell them they're supposed to do (bad/mediocre healers)... Then there are those that learn the what, how, and why of every ability on their bar and practice using them in the appropriate situations so that they know what button to push and why they are pushing it before their conscious mind has even had an opportunity to acknowledge that it's happening (great healers).<br /><br />Want to become great? Stop going to Elitist Jerks and asking them to tell you how to play your class. Read about your abilities and decide how you think your class should be played on your own. Then go compare notes with everybody else to see if you missed something. 99% of everybody doesn't care to put in that effort though.ivan256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601885929616016080.post-58809680724284983042009-06-02T20:38:26.393-07:002009-06-02T20:38:26.393-07:00@Aertimus: Well you say "Bring it" then ...@Aertimus: Well you say "Bring it" then I say "Its already been broughted!".

Everyone in a party should feel safe in your hands and know that, even if they die, you tried your best - as much as they did.<br /><br />Healers are, by defenition, people who have to work with a group to get things done and I am often surprised at how well a tank and healer who trust each other can push against those who don't - trying things which might otherwise seem tough.<br /><br />Personally, I have a distate for meter-love and feel that anyone who cares about meters more than actually keeping people alive are not good healers - no matter how much they spam their way up the meter.<br /><br />Communication is probably my favourite on your list (though I totally agree with them all ^^) - letting a group or raid know what you can and cannot handle is vital to sucess as is being able to communicate with other healers when you need help or can handle something on your own.<br /><br />/hugsAurikhttp://www.slashhug.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601885929616016080.post-11453164977548433302009-06-02T15:20:05.645-07:002009-06-02T15:20:05.645-07:00"Bring It" was definitely my favorite.

I don't know if I'm ready to go there. I think anyone could be a great healer; the deciding factors being do they have the massive amounts of time to learn their class outside the raid and do they have the computer and connection to support 110% performance?Aertimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615534190276350761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601885929616016080.post-88341050006159343372009-06-02T12:28:17.729-07:002009-06-02T12:28:17.729-07:00@Misneach: Yeah, Jess did mention the whole trust ...@Misneach: Yeah, Jess did mention the whole trust factor that comes into play especially after a tank and healer have rolled together a while. <br /><br />As Jess said to me, "there is a hidden multiplier when you are healing the ponytail".Keredriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03207180365848283163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601885929616016080.post-14794133993384273202009-06-02T12:23:17.050-07:002009-06-02T12:23:17.050-07:00Anticipation is a big one for me as a tank.

My favorite healers are the ones who know when it's time to resort to heroic measures to save my butt or whether I've got it covered.<br /><br />That one usually comes down to healer/tank chemistry, though, which is developed over time.Misneachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13692303661137425205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601885929616016080.post-3631051658276896822009-06-02T12:18:17.044-07:002009-06-02T12:18:17.044-07:00@Valkure: Nice, welcome to our world. :)

I'm an accidental healer, or as I've recently come to joke about with friends, I caught this healing disease from somewhere and I don't think there's a cure! When my first toon hit 80 (shaman), she switched resto and that was the begining of the end, now they're all healers. Maybe the game is more challenging as a healer now, and that's why I love it. That and I lack the epeen (zomg dps!) competitiveness and just love the challenge of keeping up with what an encounter can dish out. "Bring it!" was my favorite part of that list!Roxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14227421568713820292noreply@blogger.com
