As a healer, I refuse to be blamed then they blow up because people assume orbs are a healer job. I heal, that’s my job.
I skip explosive week because it’s so frustrating to deal with, and DPS often just ignore them. No thank you.
UPDATE: So I tried a few keys. Timed a +17 Junkyard, almost timed a +18 Streets explosives weren’t the issue, no1 doing the market was, a +16 Workshop. Failed a +17 Gambit where people left during the 1st room trash due to explosive. Tank pulled huge pull, like 5-6 explosives up, I couldn’t tab target them as there were so many targets and I was healing the tank so we wiped twice then someone bailed on key.
In the other dungeons, I warned people in my own keys that I struggle with explosives and no1 said anything, I got some, they got some. - Some explosives I just healed through if tranq was rolling we could survive it.
I’m 5 points from KSM, while I hate explosives and it’s the 1 affix I wish was removed I might still be able to finish this week. But I certainly am not going to do my 8 keys for vaults this week lol.
coz it generally is along w/ the tank. Asking dps to waste gcd to kill explosive is more impactful because they have much more to lose than the healer. And kinda rich coming from a druid where moonfire is more than enough to kill them
It’s not grevious week so healer shouldn’t be spamming healing every pull atm. So yes it’s healer and tanks job to get explosive. A dps wasting their gcd on an explosive when they can just keep pumping it on adds to kill it fast and get less explosive is significantly better use of their time.
Nope because unless the tank is bad, tanks generally don’t need the healing at all
I remember doing just a 14 with my friends guild and this couple low key got in a tiff over discord about explosives. She was playing a hunter and he was like “why didn’t you get the orb?”
I try to get them as a healer if I can but didn’t always happen
trust me I’ve seen them to. I cringe on the sight of those players. I’ve even saw a healer complain about not getting explosive that spawn right infront of them
Tyrannical explosive is much more easily handled by a healer, especially if you have a mouse over macro. I’ve done keys with over 90% of orbs on my Druid.
I mean, you’re allowed to feel this way and skip this week. I’d much rather you not pug then cause my group to not time a key because you feel like a mechanic you could have handled isn’t your responsibility.
Guess we shouldn’t purge debuffs that can be kicked too /s.
Push them to do what? Dealing with explosives is mainly the healer/tank’s job. If they’re not comfortable with it, then maybe it is a good idea for them not to run keys this week. But if you do go into a key as one of those roles with this affix active, you will be expected to contribute. That’s just the way it is.
