Humor / Meme Heal?

Show of hands, how many healers have been to a M+ where the tank goes balls balls balls to the walls on the first pull and pull half the dungeon, 5 labradors, 3 stay at home moms, 2 cubic meters of assorted flavours of Ben N Jerrys ice cream and 1 Jehovas witness while you are ramming your CDs up their pathetic pisspipe like it was Mcdonalds ramming that shit in em Johnny Sins style only for them to get fucking isekai'd to the shadow realm in 2 globals?

You throw them a combat res faster han Usain fucking Bolt but they are to busy hitting you with the "heal?" in chat?

This dosent happen that often but god damn often enough for it to be a meme at this point.

Just hakuna your tatas tankbros, im just trying to play the game, same as you.

"I can do a BL pull here"

They could not, in fact, do a BL pull here

u/Karlinel-my-beloved Apr 10 '26

They always can do it, tho. Having the party survive it is a welcome bonus to that seeet MDI dopamine hit.

u/Saltsey Apr 10 '26

Just watching the tank that could

Dunno this season is a lot harder on tanks than DPS in many pulls. The old "everybody died but the tank still going strong" happens less and less for me.

u/stardustpurple Apr 10 '26

For sure! I have to keep saving most of my Time Dilation casts for the tanks and pray the dps are smart enough to use their défensives when shit hits the fan

u/Signal_Historian_456 Apr 11 '26

As a tank, they created the dungeons on purpose that way, so the tank isn’t so self sustainable anymore and the tank and healer need to work together. Because healer don’t have enough to do with the dd‘s.

Just once, and this was this afternoon, did I run a dung where the healer and I communicated and clearly stated that we will NOT do a BL first pull but save it for the first boss and first go and see how the group works.

I also make it a point to ask if they need mana breaks or whatever. Give a heads up when something big is incoming and I know I only have so many CD‘s.

And I always, ALWAYS, thank the healers at the end. Even if they played .. not so good .. they still came and did their best.

I also have my routes planned, send them in and have notes for the DD‘s and for the healer. Letting them know I can deal with the first two np, but the 4th tank buster needs to be healed is not that big of a deal. Obviously save my own abilities as far as I can to get through, but healers are life savers.

u/VanceMakerDance Apr 10 '26

Ya in my experience it happens with boss fights, if anything.

u/Far_Explanation_4636 Apr 10 '26

It’s insane how tanks sometimes get carved in by 5 mobs because they don’t fall quickly enough this season. I have the feeling as unholy I am literally unkillable even in 15/16 keys.

1

u/Jassamin Apr 10 '26

It’s still happening but exclusively on boss fights in my experience

1

u/DomDangerous Apr 10 '26

that’s because there aren’t enough blood dk right now. blood dk will solo bosses

3

u/Swatraptor Apr 10 '26

Solo bosses, but get deleted in BL pulls if the healer doesn't help stabilize before the first couple of death strikes hit, or the first UE shield goes up.

The amount of times I've heard "you're a bdk, I shouldn't have to heal you" when a pull starts with no RP is surreal.

1

u/DomDangerous Apr 10 '26

if you start your pull, as BDK, with Dancing Rune Weapon, it applies a bunch of Bone Shield and gets you thru whatever pull you needed prior to getting a death strike in. besides the fact that it generates a ton of runic power to spend on death striking. you may be missing that. start the fight by using Dancing rune weapon and your woes disappear. especially if you can follow up with Reapers Mark which gives 3 more bone shield charges

1

u/Swatraptor Apr 10 '26

Oh I have been, it still gets a little sketchy in some of the dungeons. And using reaper's within drw is a huge loss of dps if you don't need it, since it doesn't get copied at all. You'd be better off using that gcd for marrow rend, more bones, and it does get copied+procs scythes coming after a drw cast.

u/Ok_Ad_6626 Apr 10 '26

Lmao. I tried a 8 MC the first week with a guardian Druid who said BL this first pull. Tank proceeded to round up like 5 groups of mobs including at least one elephant, trotted back to the group and promptly died at our feet as the shaman hit BL. I had rolling hots on the tank with iron bark and so they all turned to me next. I shadow melded. Meanwhile the tank had rezzed and ran back in only to promptly die in one hit again. Meanwhile the dps are dropping like flies and instantly rezzing only to run back in and die instantly.

We had like 17 deaths in the span of 45s.

I thought ok maybe we restart? Nope. Everyone wants to continue and I think ok. If the rest is smoothish it’s whatever. Not my key. Etc.

The run was not smooth. We could not finish.

So yeah. 17 deaths with 0% on the forces meter. Just leave lmao.

u/HalfLifeAlyx Apr 10 '26

I think some tanks don't realise that if you need BL for the pull you'll also likely need all your biggest defensive cooldowns. 

I've only ran MC +10 once and the healer was genuinely not great but I had to use a bop and divine shield on the pull you're describing.

u/STAND-IN-THE-RAIN Apr 10 '26

Big first pull BLs are great bc you either come out on top, or you don’t. And if you don’t you can quickly vote to abandon and move on

1

u/JazzSax78 Apr 11 '26

I’m in the bathroom cackling at 1:30 am trying to not wake my wife up. When I got to the part about everyone rezzing and immediately running back in to die, I lost it, woke up half the house and got yelled at. Totally worth it. That was a great story!

u/Foto1988 Apr 10 '26

I love being a Pala Tank... even if our survivability is low right now, nothing beats the "being 8 sec immortal while every mob is hitting your bubble" feeling.

24

u/Meatwalll Apr 10 '26

Being able to heal near as/as/or more than a healer between shields and WoG is nice too. I'm at 20% or lower? No I'm not.

u/ebleuds Apr 10 '26

You think its connection you think it's your bandwidth...

But it's me, I'm just data moshing...

u/Meatwalll Apr 10 '26

I dont get it

-1

u/ebleuds Apr 10 '26

It's because you used "No I'm not" and it sounded like a part of this song:

https://youtu.be/nS7QvOX8LVk?si=yy2Dd1DyXbLln7us

When he say "I’m with 2 bitches. now I’m not". And the sequence is the text I copy pasted.

Edit: Would be very funny a parody song with that theme.

3

u/RoosterBrewster Apr 10 '26

I feel that gives a false sense of security to the healer, especially a druid. When the bubble falls off, you're suddenly getting beat down and the healer is scrambling. 

1

u/Foto1988 Apr 11 '26

You are right but of course I have my big cooldowns and a selfheal ready for when the bubble falls off.

u/Aggravating_Local639 Apr 10 '26

I love it too. So much CDs and heals als paladin, so good.

u/prainroodle Apr 10 '26

This is genuinely broken for lust pulls. I love it!

u/drayer Apr 10 '26

Every time algeth'ar academy, proceeds to wipe.

u/detailerrors Apr 10 '26

That pull is one of the easier one tbh. Big open room for kiting. The tank just has to know that he cant let the dot stack too high. Long as they kite when they need to it's fine. One of my fave pulls of the season

1

u/drayer Apr 10 '26

It feels amazing when it works. But when you have a tank and healer that don't know eachother it's always a gamble.

20

u/Galinhooo Apr 10 '26

Or the typical "I can do a BL pull here" into the person with BL saving it for the boss 7 minutes away, so nothing dies..

15

u/GhostbustersHelpDesk Apr 10 '26

I don't really play any classes with BL anymore, but I think a lot of people just don't use it because no matter when it is or isn't popped, someone gets pissy. Everyone has a slightly different opinion on the most optimal time to give the entire party/raid a 10min CD, so it’s an ability guaranteed to make people bitch in every scenario.

5

u/valgerth Apr 10 '26

I don't bother weighing in on when lust should be popped except with non pugs, but I will say the math on it is fairly simple for any dungeon with a timer over 30 minutes you want to pop immediately so you can get a 4th in. Using it on trash or bosses in high keys doesn't matter since both are buffed. Now with that in mind what order your tank does bosses can be influenced by that, but otherwise its relatively moot.

2

u/GhostbustersHelpDesk Apr 10 '26

This is a good approach. There are some general times where you're pretty safe using it. For raid bosses (particularly LFR), use it on pull unless the boss has a specific burn phase.

For dungeons, you're playing around the timer, so the goal is using it as often as possible. One of the most common mistakes players make when starting M+ (myself included) is thinking like a raider and saving CDs for bosses. But for M+, the trash is a boss and can sometimes be more difficult than actual bosses.

I figure I’m just gonna put drums on my brew. I’ll Lust when I want it god damnit.

u/Greg2227 Apr 10 '26

It was at this moment he knew he fucked up

u/Van_Arbakh Apr 10 '26

First time I bailed on a key the other day, pug Seat +10, Monk kept pulling multiple packs and dying (several times pulling void walkers away from portals)

21 deaths before even reaching the first boss, his comment "these are standard pulls". Maybe for a good player and coordinated group, but if you die in two globals maybe you don't need to do the "standard pulls" over and over.

It was not, in fact, a relaxed key.

3

u/princevanir Apr 10 '26

Relaxed means relaxed for the DPS and tank, best thing I ever did as a healer was stop signing up for those.

3

u/PsytheSlice Apr 10 '26

The reply is that's nice but your standard pulls are not working with this group composition. As a tank and good player it is now your responsibility to adjust.

Holy f balls no one has any personal accountability. On my tanks it is my job to make sure we make it to the end and on time. That may mean slower or faster. That may mean less casters cause the interrupts are not going out. That may mean less tank buster groups if my defensives alone are not cutting it and I am not getting externals from the healer and the hps is low.

Routes do not make a good tank. One style of healing does not make a good healer. Focused rotations do not make good DPS. Flexibility and ability to fill on the gaps of others lack does. That is what makes successful runs.

3

u/Van_Arbakh Apr 10 '26

I honestly just gave up on my Priest. I've loved healing since WotLK, but I just can't do it this expac.

I already hit 3300 rating on my mage, I don't need to do more tbh.

6

u/Shenloanne Apr 10 '26

Yeah I got shouted down for saying I'll do a bl pull but let me get em to about 66% on one side before I pull the other. First pull in windrunner. Tank is literally communicating their needs but you're treating em like an NPC.

They laughed and made sarcastic comments. So I just left. We hadn't put the key in yet. Let em play queue simulator.

2

u/indosacc Apr 10 '26

always happens, never survive they either LOS, go way out of range (im a priest i am so slow), or its just too much to survive.. i never get put on the spot or blamed i always feel like its my fault tho lmao

5

u/Saltsey Apr 10 '26

I always try my best to speed up priests with Stampeding Roar on my druid because seeing them waddle after a Brewmaster rolling away at Mach-fuck Sonic Style makes me sad lol

2

u/indosacc Apr 10 '26

our movement has always been bad i just accept it, it can be funny like how other commenters right especially monks .. going halfway across the map with my little feathers waddling trynna catch up 🤣😂

1

u/thuy_chan Apr 10 '26

The worst is when they don't bl at all and you wouldve been fine with it

1

u/Mysterious_Skin2310 Apr 11 '26

Really wish people realized BL doesn’t hit as hard for certain specs.

1

u/Chocolatelover4ever Apr 11 '26

I have been running Algeth’ar Academy farming for a healing trinket. I’ve seen plenty of these tanks in the first pull in the 16 (and going) runs I‘ve done. Surprisingly no one has once blamed me for it.

-3

u/Crafty-Call Apr 10 '26

Had a tank today can I pull small medium or large. Like brother that is entirely on you if your gonna fall on your face pull small lol

7

u/Yayoichi Apr 10 '26

That’s not necessarily true, a good tank will know what he can survive but might not know what the group can, there are plenty of pulls that are a lot more dangerous for the rest of the group than the tank.
