I was really bad about FA on my first toon. A druid. I figured I have heals why bother. The i ran out of mana and needed a heal...lol 375 FA ftw!

I'll get right on having Improved Mend Pet with the rest of my Survival skills!.... about the same time you can main-heal and keep Vampiric Touch on a boss so's I can get mana back.

Oh, wait, what's that, neither of us have enough talent points to accommodate the other?

(j/k, of course. Much respect.)

79. (no longer applies - thankyou, Armory and patch changes)

Finding yourself assembled in a PUG within striking distance of the first boss, getting ready to heal, not being able to check everybody's talent distribution, and realizing all too late that the axes your "tank" is wielding ARE his tanking gear.

80: Never being allowed to heal, because your guild values your tanking too much. Sounds silly, but I actually ENJOY healing, but never get to do it.
81: Battle rezzing during a raid, then finding out the priest I rezzed just hadn't bothered to use his soulstone to pop up yet.
82: Battle rezzing, then seeing somebody else's battle rez light up 2 seconds after I called it in Vent and landed the spell.
83: DPSers bitching that they didn't get healed and died, despite the fact that you were nearly out of mana, and the tank was going down faster than a *insert nationality here* hooker.

This sort of ties both of these previous quotes together:

84. Being blamed for the wipe because of inadequate healing gear, yet noticing the lack of appropriately geared party members (i.e. lots of low-level greens, few blues, no purples, etc.) Hi, Kettle! I'm Pot!

If you haven't put it up yet, here's one more:

#whatever: tank in heroic/kara saying "No one was healing me!" when both healers were putting everything they had on him - he just pulled too much at once!

#85: The hunter casts Misdirection onto you without good reason.

Lifetap like a maniac when the maintank is taking a heavy beating.

I may be DPS but I still have a healing spell!


#86: Being told by DPS to put up Vampiric Embrace on a fight where I'm threatcapped and fading every chance I get.

The number one way to annoy me when I healing is the first thing Matt said: hearing the MT say "Come on guys, keep me up!" or the RL saying "Someone heal..... there you go....". Seriously, do they have so much free time that they need to tell the healers that someone needs heals? "Oh really? I didn't even notice the MT was taking damage. Let me spool a heal right up for ya......" /doom

I was always so bad at doing that on my Warrior. > < It became a joke to the guild during raids even. When I would start to get low I would instinctively say "I'm going to die. Heal me. I'm going to die."

A lot of the times I did though. Heh

ROFL. I actually did this to a healer in a PUG, but I had provocation. He not only let the dps die, he got pissy about losing a roll for a shard and let the tank die as well. Then refused to rez anyone. So, my "evil" side got the best of me and on the next boss pull I cast misdirect on him and fired off Steady Shot, Arcane Shot, Steady Shot. We did have a hybrid pally in the group to take over heals, and the rest of the group knew what was going to happen, so it was pretty hilarious watching the priest take off running while we stood there and watched him get spanked.

Managed to drop the boss with the 4 of us, then pulled in another healer to finish the instance. That original healer is still on my friends list, and I haven't seen him login since. With any luck, he cancelled his account and went back to Shadowbane...

87. _______ calls out for healing!
88. _______ calls out for healing! ...and they're a dps class.

this is waaaaay up at the top of my list. To the point where if someone does it, I'll warn the entire group to turn off that function/macro/stop hitting the button because, as your healer, I'm paying attention. I know your healthbar is low. And yes, you, Mr. Pyroblast-pulling-mage, are dispensable. I'm keeping the tank up through a large pull that got a patrol - no, your healthbar is not at the top of my concern.

If it happens again, they just conveniently don't get much in the way of heals anymore.

Since I don't see anything about PvP healing

In WSG - Having the flag runner out run you and then get caught and die.

In AV - someone bitching that YOU didn't heal THEM, in a crowd of 30 people (usually a rogue :p )

Or in any BG really, the fact that people seem to expect you to heal them while you're being beat down by 2 rogues and hunter, but nobody tries to get them off you.

Oh and Pellegri, I once grouped with a hunter that had a heal macro set up for his PET like that.

89. When the epicced out warlock whispers you linking you various items of your gear and saying, "Need upgrades "
90. When you're brought into a group without any viable form of Crowd Control and, upon pointing this out, are told, "As long as your healing is up to snuff we'll be fine."
91. (edited to include) When you're the only one corpse-running and everyone else is waiting for a rez... despite the fact that you are clearly a druid.

I decided to write an amusing post based off of this idea.

Thanks for letting me vent, Matticus!

seconded - even having a lock main (or perhaps because of), on my priest i HATE locks tapping to the point of "oh shit" to regen their mana and expecting the healer to take care of it
