When doing random battlegrounds try to read the situation you are in as a dps. I was just in a battleground where I was the only healer, playing on my monk that I am trying to get honor on to get gear. The other team was very organized and made a conscious effort to CC and delete me as soon as they saw me. That’s when the best dps player of all time decides to say “Do we even have a healer”. The other team has the top 5 dps and control of mid (Temple). Just understand the situation before being a toxic dps.

Or you could just ignore them and not care?

Or they could stop being toxic to other players, you know the whole reason behind the social contract we just agreed to this patch?

Who cares though? As you pointed out, it’s some clueless dps talking… Why are you placing any value in that of a clueless person?

shame on your for taking his legitimate question and calling him the one toxic. he was just wondering if he had a healer he needed to protect and you instead try to make him out to be some bad guy.

If you want a healer all the time, PLAY ONE.

Yeah, this was definitely not the context. And the game’s interface shows you what spec each player is playing. We were also already well into the bg. Be better.

So many people apparently are incapable of reading the roster for each team. It makes me headdesk.
Healing as many bg’s as I do I see this kind of stuff happen a lot when I am not on a more geared healer. I’ve met healers that run addons that show team healing and dps for both sides just to show that healers are doing something. That’s how toxic dps can be, and it’s often.

I am dead therefore the healers are doing nothing

When my teams geared healers are being out healed by dps I will definitely question whether or not we have healers.

You should check to see if your healers are being focused by the enemy, first. DPS tunnel-vision is the #1 cause of healer deaths in BGs.

My favorite healers are the ones that have 75% of their healing on themselves and the other 20% on the tank. 5% on the dps trying to stop the hunters and locks one shotting everything

I do! Sadly, they arent being focused at all and are afk.

Those are the people you intentionally don’t heal.

What???
Are you saying this is a bad healer decision?
Often, healers get focused, so they keep themselves alive.
If there is a tank getting a lot of heals it is CTF.
And in this case, dps won’t be getting focused as much.
Then things might change if they can’t kill the healer.
Have you healed in BGs?

No. I have never done healing in a bg
I can’t heal you when I’m dead. I can’t heal you when I’m chain CCd and then deleted by a good team that knows how to focus fire.

It’s always the bad dps who complain about heals. It drives me crazy too. I did 7m heals in a wsg one time and everyone flamed me for being bad. I just put them on my “no heal list” for future bgs. You’re pretty much asking to get flamed as a healer unless you’re running with a premade in the current meta. Even just a pocket dps is nice.
