Yesterday Dueg gave you the Guide to Bad Healing. To refresh:
- Show up in good gear, so those who inspect you are fooled.
- Heal priority: DPS > tanks.
- Create a no-heal list and follow it religiously.
- Use one spell early and often… hell, use it exclusively .
- When the going gets tough, the tough pull out the cord on their router.
- Misdirect isn’t just a hunter skill: blame everyone else when something goes wrong .
These are all incredibly valuable tactics that bad healers should embrace. But if you’ve mastered these skills, consider adding these to your repertoire:
- Stand in the fire. Just heal through it!
- Someone else will cure and dispell. Bad healers know this is the reason why you bring ret paladins and mages to raids.
- Don’t join vent. Instructions from the Raid Leader might drown out Ryan Seacrest’s voice.
- Don’t join the healer channel. [1] General is the only channel you really need to watch.
- Ignore healing assignments. Healing assignments are for followers, and you sir, are a leader. The healing meters say so.
- “I got no healz” — Did you die? Healers’ fault! (Other healers, naturally)
- Use your “oh shit” spells at random times — Guardian Spirit, Nature’s Swiftness, Battle Rez, and the like. Sure, you didn’t actually save anyone, but when the Raid Leader says, “Use your [insert powerful spell name here],” you can say “On cooldown,” and people will think you’re already one or two steps ahead.
- Die first. In the words of the great Billy Joel, “Only the good die young.”
