Things PLAYERS Do That Annoy You As A Healer

[Mirrinnia-moon-guard]

maybe im just getting old and grumpy but people who can but dont give a crap about preventing fall damage it might be a small thing but thats more avoidable work, basically anything avoidable pretty much and you have no idea when i see people go out of their way to avoid damage it warms my heart

[Cursewords-tichondrius (Cursewords)]

I hate when people put a marker on me.

Yeah, I know- it helps some people. Fine. Which is why I just keep my mouth shut and tolerate it.

I wish we had the ability to turn off seeing those markers - that way people who need them can use them, and I don’t have to see them.

@Hadhit-lightbringer

People who are off alone on the far side of the boss or who are extremely far away from the healer.

I don’t like to be among the rabble. They obscure the view of my characters doing stuff.

100% the most frustrating for me is people not using their defensives. I have an add-on to track those and I was in a Nelt 19 the other day and each dps didn’t touch their defensives the entire run. I even asked nicely in chat for people to use them to help me out as a healer and crickets and they didn’t use ANY of them. Like how do you not want to help out?? I only play healers so this is at the top of my list.

[Hawkness-area-52]

DPS who get themselves killed seconds into a pull, when the tank announces they will pull big. The DPS then asking, “Where were my heals?”

Players who have no idea how the chain boss in Neltharus works, so either all the dps break their chains at the same time, or the tanks break all the chains at the same time, resulting in a wipe. The first question then being “healer, why do you suck at healing?”

It drives me nuts when ranged DPS insist on playing way the frick out in no where at max range, constantly dipping out of range of heals or LoSing me. They make some mobs jump/run all over the place instead of keeping them grouped up for easy cleave/aoe. And of course they are always, always the ones who butt pull patrols or sideline packs we want to skip.

Just bc you can play 40yrds away doesn’t mean you should. Damage you take isn’t lessened by your distance away from the fight. I’m not asking you to stand in melee but for the love of warcraft bring it in a bit!

They’re 40 yards back, and after the melee kills the trash they’re working on, the ranged take their time starting to move up with the group and aggro more stuff.

[Rita-velen]

Getting rude, mainly. I am well-equipped to deal with whatever tomfoolery comes my way as a holy priest (er, several holy priests). I know people make mistakes. I do too! Just kidding, I’m perfect.

[Surreally-moon-guard]

People telling me what to do after going out of their way to eat the dirt.

[Scalesa-sisters-of-elune]

There was one guy who was tanking in Waili ng Caverns, and kept. Getting. Out of. My Line of Sight. I mean, running around the boss, spinning, jumping… RUNNING AROUND THE COLUMNS. When it started happening I just said, “hey, LoS” – no reply. I let him die and took the deserter debuff.

also what OP said ;___; “HIIIII LET’S STACK MOBS ON TOP OF THE HEALER”

[Squeaksmcgee-area-52]

This is the 1st I’m hearing about healing rain so I’m assuming that, like me, they’re avoiding it because they don’t know what it is.

Is this new?

[Eidoler-quelthalas]

/healme spam…especially when they don’t need healing!

[Kelyselen-stormrage]

@Meinteil-frostmourne

Is it me or do players avoid healing rain more then damaging mechanics?

I’m guilty of this. Mostly because I don’t run with many resto shamans, and I see circle on the ground and I move out of habit.

Worse part? I have a 70 resto shaman that I play from time to time, so I know this…

Annoying:

1. Tanks that don’t pace pulls on healer. If every pull people are dropping low on HP and nearly dying, adjust the pulls. Either you are pulling too much or everyone in the group is braindead mouthbreather so either way adjustments are needed.

2. People standing around at half health while the healer is drinking, instead of eating some food.

But all these are reasons why I tank 60% of the tank, DPS 30% of the time, and heal 10% of the time now, instead of 50/50 tank/heal that I did from vanilla to the start of DF. Too many bad tanks that watch some MDI and think they can do that.

@Meinteil-frostmourne

This… while moving out of it to start taking more damage from the fresh mobs they decided to pull…

@Meinteil-frostmourne

As the title suggest. What are things that players do that annoy you as a healer.

Warlocks with the voidwalker out or just the wrong pet in general. It annoys me as both a warlock main and the occasional evoker healer

[Pineapple-stormrage]

I wonder how many people know that SLT isnt some kind of rare boss mechanic? Certainly not enough. I’ve seen it avoided like the plague.

[Anhanrundek-altar-of-storms]

@Meinteil-frostmourne

What are things that players do that annoy you as a healer.

• playing AGAINST the team instead of FOR.
• pretending the game revolves around them.
• thinking THEY are the ONLY ones with cooldowns, etc.
• Pulling for the tank after hes asked them to stop.
• Pulling 6 mobs knowing we have a dead body or two.
• screaming “MUH FACEROLLZ!!”, then pulling 2 rooms of fearing mobs…running back after the wipe and doing it again
• Blaming me for DPS running off on side missions out of my healing range and dying. lmao

Im sure I can think of more.

[Anhanrundek-altar-of-storms]

• hunters crying about their pets not being healed lol. When they have the best pet heal in the game, they just dont want to keybind it lmao

[Pineapple-stormrage]

The last one rarely happens to me but its easily one of the most confusing things to deal with. Not only is it not your job to run ahead and pull mobs, but also how do you not notice you’re the only one fighting that pack and you’ll probably die if the rest of the group doesnt decide to follow you in that moment.

I think that the most annoying thing is youre then only one kicking and CC. Thats not exclusive to healers tho. That sucks for anyone, but it sucks even more for the healers healing through avoidable damage when they could be using that time to deal extra damage or use more mana efficient spells, or even save those CDs for unavoidable boss dmg

[Pineapple-stormrage]

Or getting repeatedly asked for a brez when you’re playing as a class that doesnt have one (a real one)

[Magefroom-stormrage]

@Meinteil-frostmourne

My pet pea for this week is the brain dead tanks that round up 8-12 mobs then kite

Just to preface this, I’m trying to do this genuinely and not be a jerk, but the saying is “pet peeve”. As for mine, DPS that don’t use personals or consumes until after I’ve dragged their hide out of the fire…thus dumping a 5 min CD into the overheal meter.

maybe he has a pet legume?
