I hardly said anything when I first started running in this guild. I just shut my mouth and healed my ass off. <br /><br />Compare that to now where I actually tell the tanks where I want them to tank a certain boss. The other week on Ulduar I told Paradise I wanted him to tank XT-002 at the left of the room. He said that he didn't like doing it there, but would do so since K said so. Hee hee.<br /><br />As a new guildie, you're right... it may require you getting to know the guild better and running with them longer before you feel comfortable speaking up. But if they are yelling at you, I would question whether you want to stay that long. <br /><br />@Zaralin: Yay for vocal resto druids! :)Keredriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03207180365848283163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601885929616016080.post-35457619338923117862009-06-04T13:39:11.771-07:002009-06-04T13:39:11.771-07:00@K: From the way Jess talks about you, I'd say...@K: From the way Jess talks about you, I'd say you're pretty l33t.

I noticed that when I heal, I am a lot more vocal about what is going on. When I dps, I will bite my lip to not say anything.<br /><br />There aretimes though, that I just HAVE to say something, eg. if someone is giving info that I know is wrong and I know will wipe the raid. Or if we keep wiping and I know there is a better way or can suggest a possible alternative, I will.<br /><br />Call it bitchy or not, it is also self-preservation and keeping the repair bills low! And the only way to advance is to stop wiping!Zaralinhttp://zaralin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601885929616016080.post-59659265461756810672009-06-04T01:30:05.547-07:002009-06-04T01:30:05.547-07:00Hello,

This seems especially prominent in small guilds without set healing officers or frequently even assignments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601885929616016080.post-6313550112880757282009-06-03T18:23:29.064-07:002009-06-03T18:23:29.064-07:00@Jess and Misneach: A good healer needs attitude? ...@Jess and Misneach: A good healer needs attitude?

And I think "caring" has a lot to do with both roles.<br /><br />Good healers care about keeping their tanks up.

It may have something to do with those roles as being more reactive to unexpected changes in the situation. A tank or a healer is very much fighting for something. Going back to your previous post regarding what makes a good healer, I think an appropriately aggressive attitude is an important part of it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131234496192822479noreply@blogger.com
