Life as a healer


Just a few of my favorite quotes to all the emo children out there:

Quote:
Healers, like myself, love to be pissed off. Nothing brings us more joy than the utter frustration of introverted aggravation. Please, help us maintain this harmonious state of mind by following these few, easy steps.

1) Ask us for heals when you are running low on health. Over voice chat would be preferable. Be sure to be loud and infer a sense of urgency. In the hustle and bustle of raiding we rarely have time to stare at your frames. We forget our purpose sometimes.

An example: "I need heals!"

2) When you're running low on (or missing) a buff, please, do not simply ask us for a rebuff. Instead, approach us with an indirect question. As we traverse through these first few years of adulthood, many of us relish every opportunity to feel like a child again. Most importantly, don't whisper us about it. We like having the attention in the chat box.

An example: "No Might?"

3) When a comrade falls in battle, please, ask us why it happened. Many of us are are in pre-med and could brush up on our biology. Finals are next week.

An example: "So, what happened there?"



Quote:
An example: "So, what happened there?"

I would toss my 6 sided dice and see what response comes up to this one.

1 - I wanted to see what it's like to watch you die.
2 - I was busy rolling my face across my keyboard while shouting "PEW PEW!!!".
3 - Our department decided to cut it's losses, so we had to let you go. But we didn't want to tell you.
4 - I was busy staring at your butt.
5 - My healing button was stuck.
6 - I was busy making pizza rolls, and decided that the loss of life was worth it.


Quote:
No lie, nothing aggravates me more. I'm chain casting(canceling when needed) gheals the entire fight, tank takes a crit and drops to 40%, my gheal is .5 seconds from cast, when suddenly on vent

"HEAL THE TANK!!!!! HEAL THE TANK!!! COME ON HEALERSSS!!!!!!! DO YOUR JOBS!!!!"

I always get the urge, and sometimes act on the urge to say:

"KILL THE BOSSS!!!!!! KILL THE BOSS!!!! COME ON DPS!!!! DO YOUR JOBS!!!!!!"

They don't find it as humorous as I do, for some odd reason



Quote:
Healer's Law...learn it, live it, love it:
"If the tank dies, it's the healer's fault.
If the healer dies, it's the tank's fault.
If anyone else dies, it's their own damn fault."


Quote:
...I especially enjoyed the time where a mage was mad at me for not healing him. My reply was, "you were out of mana, at that point, you were kind of useless to downing the mob so I saved my mana for someone else." "furthermore, at that point, you made a better door stop."



Quote:
Never wait around on healer mana in a PUG. You don't want your rage bar to run out after all. Just keep pulling despite the healer crying, "OOM" over and over again, like some kind of backwards cow. They are just doing it for attention.

...

When you healer calls "OOR", he means, "Oooh, Rockin!" and is a sign that he thoroughly approves of what you are doing. Keep it up.

...

If he calls "LoS" it means "Layin' on the s***" and is another sign of the depths of admiration that your healer holds for your skillz.


Quote:

Always try to tank behind a pillar, at the bottom of a ramp, around a corner, or really far from wherever the group is parked. The more terrain objects that can block line of sight, the better. Healers love the challenge of continually moving around to find a spot they can actually land a heal on you from while trying to cast a 2.5 second spell. Once they find such a spot, be sure to move so that they'll have to find another one. A refinement of this tactic when using an off-tank in a group is for the main tank and off tank to position themselves on either side of an obstacle, so that it's impossible to heal them both from the same position. That one is especially fun, but takes some coordination between the tanks.


This made me laugh... as I actually replaced the term tank with the name "Wolly".

Priest's Dictionary

When you team up with priests, you might hear them use some strange terms (such as WTF!?!) and this Priest Dictionary will help you translate them.


add: This is short for 'ADDitional monsters needed' and is used when the monster you are fighting is an easy kill and the priest feels the team can handle more. When you hear this, run into adjoining rooms and pull more mobs into the fight.

afk: This common term stands for "Attack, Fight, Kill" and is the priest's way of telling you to go pull mobs.

brb: An acronym, this is short for "Boss Room Battle," and is a priest's way of telling the team it's time to fight the cave or instance boss. Note that you will also sometimes see "afk brb," meaning the same thing.

HELP: This stands for "Hit Everything! Leet Priest! This will often be shouted as the priest does a victory dance around the group, leading monsters around. He's just taunting them - don't feel the need to attack them. Just go get some more to add to the fun!

out of mana: If your priest says this after a fight, make sure to count to 3-Mississippi before you run three rooms down and start another major fight. This will allow the priest more than enough time to recover her mana.

oom: Some people believe this to be an abbreviation for "out of mana." They are mistaken. What this really means is "Out of Mobs" and that more should be pulled into the fight as soon as possible as to limit the downtime and not waste the priest's time.

puller: The team's puller has the important job of "pulling" the team into fights. Usually this is accomplished by having someone with a gun with and cloth armor shoot a social mob for 1/20th of its health or by having a similarly Health gimped teammate run into a room and fire off at least three special attacks, thereby pulling the rest of the team into the room to save him. Note that the puller does not have to be the same person every time and it is often best if different people pull as to keep the priest guessing who will drop to 1/3 their life and make her try to figure out what room they are in.

rez sick: When priest say they are rez sick, it means they are sick of dying and resurrecting and they want to go straight to the room in the instance that killed them the first time and start fighting.

tank: This is the person whose job it is to pull mobs to the priest.

wait: "wait" is a bit tricky. While it sounds like the word "wait," as in 'stop,' what the priest is really saying is a shortened version of "WAste IT all." meaning destroy everything in the area. Priests will use this if they want you to start charging the instance.

WTF!?!: This means "Way To Fight" and is used to complement you on your brilliant tactical choices



And just for shaved:

Quote:
Things to remember in Battlegrounds with a Healer.

Please call out for heals when you are experiencing 3000 damage per second because you ran into the middle of 5 opposing characters. This gives us the opportunity to get some great practice in on our flash heals.

We absolutely love animals and demons. We're not running from them. We're just playing with them. Please neglect the fact that we may need help.

You don't have to thank my Spirit of Redemption. That's what I'm there for.

We have an amazing affinity to detect cloaked enemies. If you observe from a distance, we'll gladly bait some back stab attacks. Seriously, just sit and watch.

Most players will confide that aggro does not exist in Battlegrounds. Most healers will confide we hold 90% aggro just for being there.

Here's a fun game. Can you stay in combat for longer than 1.5 seconds? It's a blast !

[Demonic] ZURUZROUZOUZRZZZ
Translation = Get this Curse off me priest. Standard response = "Bur" or "Kek"

If you see a drinking healer class, ask him "WTF are you doing?! Get UP!"
He / She is obviously being lazy and selfish.

Rogues have ABSOLUTE priority in grabbing the rejuvenation buff. NEVER let a healer get Rejuvenation. It's an absolute waste.

One Healing class is all you need to defend a node in Arathi Basin. Move along if one is standing on a node.

Warriors, never put Intervention on a healer. We seldom get attacked.



Quote:
when in arena/BG and you see me running around like mad being chased by that rogue/warrior/druid/ hunter pet please do not stop to help, it's for my health and I need the exercise.

When in an instance, and I die and turn into a pretty angel, please run as far away as possible, because my heals have infinite range
