Being healer is awesome, I approve of the holiness of the trinity system ... never rerolling a dps ... ever
kicked and /ignored since my que as a tank is shorter than yours and my healing comp can do a better job anyway.

I like being a healer or even a tank because i feel needed and that makes me feel coolio lol DPS are much to common, though a Pro DPS a bit more rare...Pro tank is rarer....and Pro healers are almost non-existent currently as most have re-rolled DPS or tank lol.

the good thing about healing is if someone is a pain in the hind-end.. i tend to 'forget' to heal them until they drop group or play correctly. either is fine by me

I don't pretend to forget, I am upfront about using healing or tanking as a way to teach lessons to idiots.

Those extra 45 - 60 seconds really make the difference man... Precious precious seconds you'll never get back!
I find your over-inflated sense of self worth disturbing.

Probably better to wait those 17 minutes watching cinematic instead waiting on another queue time, well if you are a dps

I get to shoot my teammates with a giant green beam and signal to the other them that they should kill me.

As for the spacebar, I will probably purposefully not spacebar just to piss you off if you have a bad attitude about it. I'm willing to spend the extra few minutes to enjoy the conversations and watch you type angry nonsense in party chat.

As a healer I only wait 1 - 200 seconds for a que, even during "light" server hours. That's part of why I like playing as a healer.
The dark is generous, and it is patient, and it always wins.
It always wins because it is everywhere.

..i can "train" idiot DPS from going in first by waiting to heal them. tanks go in first...the getmost of tne healing. if a dps strike out too mjch on his own.....he's on his own.

Well, the confidence was basically bestowed upon me from players themselves. I help players by being a focused and dedicated healer and people thank me for that ... repeatedly. It's a nice little rapport
