2/4/2010 - wow warcraft:Healer philosophy
On the one hand, when a raid wipes it may always feel like it's your fault because people ultimately died and you're the ones supposed to stop people from dying. I'm not saying we make healing on raid content trivial. We don't. We want it to be a challenge. wow gold We want you to have to work at it and feel good when you finally get a new boss down. We want you to feel like the gear that drops is rewarding because you notice the difference.
But I also think you're being a little unfair to cheap wow gold dps to tanking. There are berserk timers on many bosses and it's the job of the dps to hit those timers. You can't necessarily solve that through healing expect by virtue of keeping them up and stabbing. On some fights all they are doing is damage, but on others they have to kill the right targets, or maximize their damage at the right moment (say XT's heart). They need to avoid AE damage. Mimiron's rockets do what 5 million damage?! If someone dies in that and asks "WHY U NOT HELZ ME?" you have my permission to reach through Vent and clock them on the skull. Tanking isn't easy either. If your tank fails to pick up adds and they run around one-shotting folks, that is not your responsibility to keep them standing. If they die with Last Stand or Icebound Fortitude not on cooldown, then they might need a tiny nibble of L2P.
I've played all three roles quite a bit, and I don't find one to be hands down harder than another. I think tanking and healing are probably more stressful. You have to be ready from the pull -- you can't take a few seconds before you jump into things.
Healing isn't for everyone. It takes a certain mindset. You aren't always going to be celebrated the way the rogue on top of the damage meters is. But every good guild knows it rests on the ability of its healers.
