I am a dps that throw heals

[Zenli-draenor]

Your fine, if healer dies you all die.

[Terranox-stonemaul (Terranox)]

I do this alot on my shaman. ABCS. Chain Harvest is awesome love it. Sometimes I save it for phases where there is heavy damage and it helps the healer a bunch. Very good for helping the healer on healing affixes, lets them dps more. Pew pew.

[Rita-velen]

Maximizing the group’s dps sometimes means helping people not die - dead dps do no dps. I’ll help the healer when they need it unless I have a vendetta against them, in that case, I will let them fail. If my gnome shall die, WE will see.

[Byöb-faerlina]

I only heal myself if I messed up a mechanic (“I pay for my sins”), if my healer specifically asks me to, or if there’s only 2-3 people left alive and the boss/pack can be killed if we live.

Grievous I’ll use my self heal too.

This p much.

@Kitcarson-exodar

Just attack people for not being a team player if they disagree and throw out examples of that off heal being a game saver.

I actually saved a wipe once with my racial by tossing a heal onto a healer that was very low on HP.
BAG OF TRICKS FOR THE WIN!

@Malberode-area-52

i just hate when groups wait for healer to clear stacks of grievous, they could use spells but nope, they just wait for the healer

What about mages that won’t use Dispel Curse?
I don’t play my mage in group content often, but if a situation to use the ability pops up, I attempt to use it if I’m within range or not in a situation where trying to get closer to a cursed player could get me killed.

I’ll gladly eat a small DPS loss if it takes pressure off the healer.

@Keremi-area-52

We really need another one of these threads? Damn these forums are so boring now.

Act like an adult and don’t click on the thread if you don’t want to see what is in it.

[Thallia-sentinels (Thallia)]

Another troll thread on this topic? Now with the caveat of insulting people that they need psychological help?

[Teksuo-grizzly-hills]

@Domesticat-dalaran

everyone knows shamans cant heal… or dps either…

i’ll take a windfury totem tho. that’s pretty neat.

[Smoothbrain-azjolnerub]

Yes you’re doing it wrong, your chain heal is garbage you should throw as many direct heals out to remove stacks of grievous, or you could just have me heal and you will be 100% the entire dungeon.

[Ahzrael-staghelm]

Ill stop dps to bandage someone, any time, anywhere. Mage heals ftw!

[Malberode-area-52]

one, its not a troll thread, second i am not insulting anybody at all, third well there was no third

[Malberode-area-52]

yeah bro, a 5 stacks maelstrom charges chain heal is garbage

[Beaupeep-draka (Beaupeep)]

@Domesticat-dalaran

but everyone knows shamans cant heal… or dps either

Weird, cause I can do both.

[Malberode-area-52]

i can’t heal or dps? man, thats rude

[Thallia-sentinels (Thallia)]

@Malberode-area-52

one, its not a troll thread

It’s snark towards the stupid healer DPS bs argument that’s been going around that’s a non-issue. So yes, it is.

@Malberode-area-52

second i am not insulting anybody at all

@Malberode-area-52

is there something weird within me?
should i check a doctor?

@Malberode-area-52

brb, going to talk to my psy

Insinuating psychological issues for how one plays the game is insulting.

[Malberode-area-52]

ok, i have no intention of getting into an argument who see an insult where there is none, bye

[Thallia-sentinels (Thallia)]

That’s fine. I had no intention of engaging further with someone who makes troll threads about people having psychological issues for how they play the game. Bye!

[Nozomiki-stormrage]

Anyway… I think ur fine I do this aswell!! Actually when i do things like offhealing ( yes we know no one “needs” it. Idc I like doing it. ) I have gotten alot of rude remarks from healers. I guess its one of my old styles from classic.

[Tresa-eldrethalas (Tresa)]

I would if I could.
