Yeah, I LOLed because I am always going oh fuck sorry...cured it by mistake on those mobs.

Spoken by someone who has truly never played a healer. If you are not using Profit, then you have 2 options for a cure.

1 Click toon in group window or find toon in fight, and then cast cure and then change back to MT in time to make sure they are not dead.

2 You can also use the function keys ot change target and then cast cure.

If you are using profit you have click to cure which would make your statement valid that it is just a click of a button, but some healers choose not to use profit click to cure functions.

Some fight require power preservation in which case using your own pots to cure yourself is priority.

Bottomline take responsibility for your own shit carry your own pots and quit whining becausing a healer is too busy healing the MT to cure your damn dot.

So Basically what you are saying is that you are too lazy to use profit, when it is the best way to play a healer. The other thing you are stating is that you suck at a healer and refuse to play your role as well as I play mine. I should apparently cure pot myself every 3 seconds when a reactive shield arcane is on me, even though the reuse of cure pots is what 7 or 8 seconds?

Also I apparently am supposed to cure pot the stuns and stifles and mezzes that are on me, so that I do not wipe the raid or die from not jousting??

The many examples that come to mind at this moment are Tyrannus, Anashti, Avatar of Justice, Avatar of Valor, Avatar of Growth, Avatar of Storms, Avatar of Mischief.

Oh yes, I forgot about the elemental on the 2nd to last mob in Munzok...where it's a WTFPWN dot that cure pots don't work on...

If you are low on power from healing/curing then you have the wrong gear on and/or a poor group setup and/or your enchanters don't feed.

I think you may want to consider rerolling a different class like becoming a mediocre enchanter or mediocre bard.

you should refrain from making these kind of generic statements.

first of all it should say "click2cure/cast" instead of profit since there are other UIs and UI-pieces with C2C.

secondly, your statement is not even true. as an inq theres not that many effects to manually single-cure to begin with and then im a keyboard user, which means im having BOTH hands on my keyboard in most fights, that includes singlecuring with the F-keys whenever needed. and yes, that slows down my reaction time when someone from another group needs a cure for whatever reason, but whatever, my mouse cursor is usually parked somewhere in the raidwindow then

Way to assume! Jackass!!! Not saying anything about what I do...you were making a generalized statement about healers who make others cure their own dots. Your one person in a group. If the healer is good he's probably healing a group by theirself, and responsible for curing dots on the raid as a whole. The purpose of a raid/group is for everyone to pitch in as much as possible to make it work. If you can heal one dot at one time, then maybe your allowing the healer to throw one more necessary heal on a tank or other member of the raid instead of curing your fucking dot. I swear to god if I ever grouped with you I would let you die just cause of your shitty attitude. Yes I have a job to do and will do my job of curing and healing as much as possible. however why don't you make a raid more successful by taking care of as much shit as you can take care the same as I do.

I use profit so that I can do my job, but some use other methods that work fine. Why don't you roll a healer and learn how to play a healer. You fucking message board troll.

Thanks for the derail.

It's so fucking easy - if there is an AOE DOT that your group's healers cannot group cure, use pots. Everything else is the healers' jobs to cure. This obviously is a rule of thumb, and rare exceptions exist.

Slippery, there is not a huge difference in speed between target swap curing and click to cure if the healer is semi adequate at using hotkeys and target macros. Profit and other click to cure UI addons just make it faster, which means more things can be cured in a shorter time frame. While it does make a healer better, it is not mandatory to do the job adequately enough to fill the role for the time being.

Ridger, half your posts make you look clueless, for example, your first one in this thread. And yes, your job as a healer is to play whackamole with the detrimentals, the speed at which you do so and maintain the health of your group is what makes the difference between a mediocre sand bag healer and a good healer. Not curing, or saying your not going to cure, something that someone can pot cure, when it is easy enough for you to cure it instead of making them waste time on doing so, makes you rather shit. It is entirely possible for a healer to cure every detrimental in their group that needs curing well before it becomes a problem.

There are a couple fights that a lesser equipped/slow cast haste healer needs help on and the rest of the group should know those fights and when to use their pots. But those are the exceptions, not the standard.

As a healer, your job is to heal and to cure. No ifs, ands, or buts about it, if you aren't doing both, and that means the vast, VAST majority of curing even on fights where it is a whackamole detrimental fight, then you really should re-roll.

lol, i do use cure pots whenever i can....i just hate when healers expect u to cure pot everything, as a crutch...especially when the detrimental is a stun or stifle a lot of the times, like Avatars and Anashti and Tyrannus!
