"lol, I'm not the tank!" he said.
"Then stop fucking acting like one."
Overall, I need to stop being so nice and quiet. I'm the healer; I'm important, right?  |
Hahaha. That was an awesome exchange. I'm a Dps'er and my main job is to watch my aggro, #2 is doing damage. A lot of ppl go all out and rip aggro from the boss, then they die and the heals gets one-shot. Heals primary job is keeping themselves alive and then the tank. Helping out the dps is just icing, unless you are on raid heals, which is the next point..
Market yourself as a #2 healer for raids. If you dont wanna or dont know if you can keep the MT up, you can keep the rest of the raid up from random damage, and throw some HoTs on the tanks. By the time you know the fights, youll have better gear and can be the main healer. And believe me, knowing the fights in raids is 95% of getting it done.
Or ask the raid leader if you can roll on healing gear, and go in as shadow dps. No other clothies in the raid, or if they are overgeared, it shouldnt be a problem. Im doing this right now with my druid healer, im being carried thru the first wings of icecrown we have on farm, and getting all the cloth and leather we would be otherwise disenchanting.

Btw, if you have the cash or some enchanter friends, get your stuff enchanted. Check the little arrows next to the enchants on your wowheroes sheet. Prob dont need to bother with stuff under 219, as you will be replacing them, and dont need to go with the top enchants unless you have the money or its on a gear piece 232+
