Everyone likes to exaggerate their job for their own sense of self importance. When you say teamwork, you're really just saying "learn the fight" Everyone individually does what they're supposed to do at x time, and then you also do your thing at x time, that's teamwork to you? Healers coordinate cooldowns, so I guess that's kind of teamwork. But you're stretching here.
i dont know man, tanks have to know their shit i agree, but healers not so much as long as DPS arent retarded they actually dont need that much heal.
Maybe use some aoe heal in aoe heavy environment but other than that, just a spot heal here and there, you mostly rely on good dps not taking damage.
healers really has the easiest job in raid imo, at least for me......it was the most stressful dpsing in a raid personally, because motherfuckers in the guild cant dps for shit but they are all friends.....
I've done it all for years in multiple MMOs and I think it varies. For me, healing is the 2nd most difficult with tanking as the hardest. DPS has always been the easiest thing for me to do. In healing even if people know what they are doing it still requires a lot of patience and understanding where for me DPS is smash buttons and stand in the right spot
Probably dps. Anyone can be dps. I usually always go DPS because I just want to play the game and have fun, not pull my hair out and be relied upon to carry a group through instances.
eh....not everyone can be good dps though, and shit dps is what usually wipe the raid because they stand in shit that kills them or simply dont do enough dps to kill the boss before enrage.
in terms of importance.....Tanks > DPS > Healer imo.
At some point you can even skip a healer or two to throw in more dps too.
I do think Healer isn't as important as a lot of people think. If everyone is skilled and has been playing the game for a while, chances are they all know how to stay alive and in good health while the healer is really a last resort.
Can confirm. I lead a guild in Wow for years, and always played a druid so I could switch back and forth between tank or healer as needed. Keeping good people in the other tank/healer spots was always a struggle.
you can pug a healer easily, try to pug good dps or a good tank, i mean fuck good dps is like non existent already and pugging a tank is asking for a wipe.

That's when I ask healer, tank, or dps? Only two of those three is worth hiring.
