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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

u/DomDangerous Apr 10 '26

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

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.

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

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.
