I am a DPS toon and I respect all healers because well, its just not my thing so as long as the healer is doing his job, decently then they can watch the cut scenes lol

no. its about respect. i was literally in a FP last night, and we had a dps pulling the mobs, rushing ahead, i asked him politely to not do it any more. then we get to a point where i ask everyone to wait for the pat, he rushed in anyway and i ended up dying.

so i voted to kick.

my team mates i guess didnt think it was a big deal so i said, you know what? you guys can find another tank to run this **** fest.

they quickly saw the light of day and kicked that other player.

its about respect. and when a dps is getting the tank killed when having had already been asked to be courteous, then its him or me, and trust me, its gonna be him.

i think we can all agree.

There's no 'feel' about it - healers and tanks are more valued than dime-a-dozen DPS.

id let you go since he/she (dps) maybe mentally challenged but imposing your will on the group sucks. kaliyo wont whine and will do just fine.

this guy. . .

so you would rather have a dps running amuck causing anarchy in a flashpoint over the assumption that he/she may or may not be mentally challenged and thus, "they cant help it?" just so you can prove a point to the tank that "you dont need em anyway?"

Playing a healer is fun because...

I've been playing a healer for so long I either start experimenting or playing epic for cinematic purposes, all while topping up my team. If I forget about someone, they'll complain because they're so used to being topped up. Then I go "Shut up and look at you health bar! Your fine!" as I heal them from low to full in a matter of seconds.

It's all about the experience, play for fun

Being healer is awesome, I approve of the holiness of the trinity system ... never rerolling a dps ... ever
Not that awesome if you can't make up for the recruit geared dpses share of dps as a healer. Why should you bother though?

Since me and my friend have 2-maned all the HM FP's except LI on a pair of sentinals (got to Project Savrak, just didnt' have enough time that night to get the perfect alignment of smokestack burns cause we totally were rockin' him on the ground phases), I'm ussually prepared to go out "on my own" from time to time... If I think it'll be funny to anhilate half a dozen mobs while waiting for a tank to put it in gear .

I have a raid geared healer and tank too, so I know what you mean though. When you're a healer and people sincerely piss you off... accidents... happen ...
