Yes, it is your job. If you are a tank or a DPS with a dispel that can dispel Xal’atah’s devour: you talent it and push the button. End of story.
The amount of healer abuse going on right now is insane in keys, simply because people don’t bother to read that they can dispel affixes by feigning, cleansing, etc. Use defensives. Heal yourself. For the love of god, please interrupt things. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
It’s always great watching pugs get mad about devour not getting healed up fast enough while playing a spec that can self cleanse it.
Its so true, I thought i was tweaking. I spent so much money on gems, enchants, food anything to help me make sure I can heal the dungeons right and I am still struggling with this devouring afflix. I really thought I was bad at the game. I am new to wow ( started playing in SL). Even when i look at LFG tool for dungeons its all pack with tanks and dps. No one wants to heal this week. Kinda glad us healers are stickin together this week because it is a pain, especially in pugs
I like receiving a pat on the back and how I ‘saved’ the m+ key. I enjoy healing. Perhaps you can try OP to do the same and you may just have the group cheering for you. welcome to my ted talk.
This your first season healing? All affixes since the beginning have more or less been considered healer affixes. Good groups, bad groups, I just play–if we wipe and I used my kit, it’s not my fault. Healers get instant invites, go next. GGs.
Me, warrior, yes ? I won’t take that 2 min cd dispel and give up other good talent points because of bad healers.
As i holy priest im just only going into groups with a shaman or another priest so i dont have to hope people know what their buttons do.
Welp, that’s all folks, nothing more to see here.
I wonder why DPS have so much trouble getting into groups due to limited tanks and healers…
Ah. Right. Lol
It’s always been like this and you know it. There are bad healers too, so.
Ya ok. I don’t have any issue healing devour affix. Including other healers I know. Some will argue but your gear isn’t the greatest to confidently heal 8s and 7s in this weeks affix, let alone heal in heroic palace.
I got my MW going recently since it got extremely lucky pulling the Sikran neck and Rash cloak and I don’t know if 99% of healers are just either extremely bad, lazy, or maybe just don’t even know that you can heal off the affix in general and it doesn’t even matter what key bracket you’re in. It’s basically inexcusable for the affix to even go off. Healers blaming others is such an extreme cope.
uh…sorry but no.
If you are a dps who CAN cleanse yourself, you should be doing that.
Jesus the entitlement with DPS is off the chain this xpac.
I’m not saying that they shouldn’t I’m just saying it’s extreme cope that the healer can’t deal with the affix. Granted I’m just doing 10s on my alts for vault but there was multiple dungeons this week on my DK where one or two are going off every single set for the entire dungeon and it’s an absolute joke. Affix lasts 12s so you can literally dispel twice, you can basically throw any heal at all and get rid of it and they’d rather stand there and afk letting it expire.
Like just playing my MW you can expel harm or diffuse which removes it off yourself instantly and dispel 2x, sheilun’s gift basically instant clears 5x, empowered jade lightning in aoe will 5x it, even doing your literal basic dps rotation will clear everything without dispelling, can literally just throw a few vivifys since you should have mists on everybody anyways, revival or conduit even if you want to waste them.
It’s not like this is some magical Mistweaver tech every single healer can laughably deal with the affix but you’re not allowed to ever critique a healer so they get away with being bad. If you’re standing there AFK doing nothing while watching it expire because you think it’s impossible to remove without dispelling then you’re the problem not the affix.
i’m not seeing anyone in here saying they refuse to deal with it at all as a healer.
Not every tank can cleanse themselves for example and there will be some dps that can’t either.
But honestly in a key with pugs, you’re better off making sure your comp can handle the affix first and foremost and yes–during a week like this, you’re only shooting youself in the foot if you have the abilty to do it and just dont.
Every tank can heal themselves though, and healing works too.
Maybe it’s my gear but I’ve never seen SG or expel harm ever fully remove the affix.
I do agree it’s not that hard, but if I need to get it off all 5 people myself I’m probably needing buffed CJL or a cooldown/focused healing. SG ain’t doing it by itself. Neither is SCK in aoe either usually.
You definitely don’t take the talent but should be using impending victory. At the end of the day the question is:
What’s better for the group dispel talent or a healer gcd for timing the dungeon?
Prot warriors can help with impending victory but if no one is in danger it can make more sense to sit on it and use it in a better way.
Talented and healing through the devour affix to time the dungeon. It literally takes a second or two to heal through the affix that is around for a week. It’s not complicated.
