Gaining Rep with the Healer Faction: How to Not Piss Off the People Who Decide Your Life and Death
It’s a well known fact that I rez people in “order”. The more I like you, the sooner I will revive you. If you’ve really peeved me off, I may ignore you entirely. This generally means that my boyfriend is rezed first, followed my fellow healers, and then everyone else.
Healers code: rez each other first! That’s also pure logic in a raid situation. The more of you there are the quicker everyone will get back up.
But that’s not what this post is about. No, this post is all about how to not irritate the ever living daylights out of us, so that your corpse isn’t cold and forgotten on the floor longer than it has to be.
- Release and run back on wipes. No, don’t run all the way back and ignore the transporters, you smart ass.
- GET OUT OF THE FIRE.
- Don’t ask for heals. We know you’re dying. Really.
- GET OUT OF THE VOID ZONES.
- Don’t jump down our throats if stuff seems to go wrong with healing. Ask instead, what happened? It could well be that we were kept from healing by something out of our control. If not…well, we usually know when we make mistakes. Kind of hard to miss.
- GET OUT OF THE POKEBALLS.
- Don’t make our jobs harder. If we ask you to leave X area clear for us, then…leave X area clear for us. I’m looking at you, hunter who stands in the middle of KTs room.
- Remember, whirlwinding mobs don’t want hugs.
- No really, they don’t want hugs.
- On that note, don’t drag Ouchy Things towards me. I don’t want hugs, either.
Re Healer’s Code: You know raid wasn’t going well when I had to get on vent and growl, “If you’ve been ressed already, it’s because you have a res button. Use it.”
Re no 8: I’m pretty sure our rogue tries to give the Dark Touched warriors kisses with tongue, not just hugs.
Number 10 made me cry with laughter.
Oh my freaken goodness… my sides hurt…
11. Thank your healer for her/his hard work healing you through your stupidity. (At the end of a run I love reading gj, good run, good grp, and great heals ..oh, & can I put you on my friends list)
