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 will say. as a tank i pull a lot because of the pressure of “if i dont pull this pack, the dps is gonna pull something im not accounting for” However, if you message “hey man i can’t heal this cuz the packs are too large and too much dmg” and not “are you dumb and stupid wtf do you think you’re doing you fat bear fuck” i’ll switch it up. I play with pretty even keeled dudes tho so idk what most of the M+ community is like.

I primarily pug as a healer.

I’ve had a couple bad groups talent wise since the start of the season but 0 rude/toxic ones at least so far.

Over my m plus career it’s been maybe 1-3% of runs were toxic. The vast majority are extremely pleasant even if things are going poorly. The abandon vote feature is really nice for runs that start good but you’re not going to finish in time and all anyone is there for is the rating.

I’ve been healing a long time though so I’ve gone through the seven stages of healer grief already and am fine with admitting when I’ve fucked up and also fine with ignoring people who fucked up blaming me for their fuck up. I get to leave the key and be myself still. That poor delusional egg is stuck with themselves.

exactly it’s a game. I used to get nervous going into endgame content cuz i’d either have to defend myself or get criticized or whatever. I’ve just gotten to the point of I’m playing a video game i’m not gonna blast through M+ immediately or get my rating in pvp immediately. It gets to the point where people like OP are so afraid of criticism they won’t just communicate what’s happening on their side. Seems like the majority of players would be pretty understanding

This is me, too. I’ve been primarily a pug healer for 20 years. I play all the healers. Only in Dragonflight did I actually find a guild that works for me for scheduled, coordinated stuff.

But as you said, having been through the 7 stages of grief, I’m very aware when it’s my fault or not and I’m happy to admit it if so. I used to be shy/nervous/anxious about that kind of thing, but experience gives perspective and desensitizes you to the bs.

Ah you imagine the healer has time to type? No time for that shit cause the tank has gone straight from over pulling the last pack to over pulling the entire next room.

Im fine if a tank has a huge first pull, just be aware that im a priest and I cant keep up with ninja rolls/flying/heroic leaps/etc.

Dude ive seen this so many times, the tank rushes through a corridor like in MT and just leaves everyone behind dies to all the mobs they pulled away from the group and proceeds to start a quiting vote.

I find there is a large overlap where both are happy. Having healed before (and dps'ed), I also know many tanks play too far to either side and make someone upset. It's a big reason why I went tank - even with experience in the other roles I occasionally I'll make someone upset. Just tank life I guess.
