PSA: Queuing as a healer when you're not does not make you clever...

I know the feeling when you have people queuing as something they're really not. Either a "healer" who spams one ability on a resto staff or a tank who thinks they are a tank because they are wearing 7 pieces of heavy armor and doesn't know what a taunt is.

I hate that player that can't even kinda full their role. I mainly PvP but when I do PvE it's a Tank and I have had to heal and DPS cause people can't play their roles. Now I was going to use Igneous Shield and Vigor anyways. With me setup being a ultimate build. I can just about keep a Shifting Stamdard down the whole fight.

But when your tank is out DPSing and healing with full aggro while rezzing back to back to back cause you STAND IN RED, STOP STANDING IN RED. Cause moving is somehow to hard and the "healer" is too busy fighting to use save from being dumb.

ZoS needs to make it so you can select why you kicked a player with not the right role as an option. I'm not an elite player I have 603cp with gold gear but if you're a lv45 Nightblade Healer and you can heal I don't care. If you can heal on your Sorc with just 10cp I don't care so you can't feed me stamina that's not your job it's a welcomed bonus not should be a crutch.

Non Templar healer can be good the a**holes that Q as a healer with a bar with pure DPS and one heal are the names of Group finder.

Or healer can heal, and "tank" role can be an optimized DPS. Double sided coin.

It's not the same, you see, when tank is tanking healer can dps, but when tank is dpsing, everybody including dps is defending and dodging boss attacks instead of dps.
Also, when boss is not stationed still, DPS is hard to target, so hit and miss or not as effective due to having to watch out boss attacks or self heal instead of attacking.[/quote]

My tank with T Scales and Shifting Standard can drop some heavy DPS but I can do that while holding agro.

Lol if your dps is high enough you really don't need to worry too much about roles. The dungeons are not really that difficult. Yea, you might have some deaths or something with no healer and/or tank but really if your just going for a key it doesn't matter. Getting deathless might be more difficult but not impossible by any means.

I que as a healer or tank and sometimes all three when I'm pure dps. Waiting hours to que as dps is ridiculous, especially when queuing as a healer/tank gets you a group in seconds.

Bonus tip: how can you tell a real Sorc healer from a pretender? The healer is the guy using the Absorption Field ultimate.

Oh, that's good to know. I'll replace my warhorn with absorption field immediatly, so people can see I'm the healer.

Dude... if you have a better ultimate than absorption field, or for that matter any healing ultimate, by all mean use it.

I'm not talking about players who know what they're doing and queue as a healer with a good healing toolkit. Nor am I talking to all the 1337 posers in this thread who can solo 4-man dungeons and the other 3 people are there just to admire their prowess.

I've seen sorcs in 4-man there as a healer use frigging overload as their ulti... never mind the fact that when using overload they can't even use their one and only resto staff unmorphed ability.

Absorption field on a sorc healer tells me that at least they're actually thinking about being a healer and are legitimately queued as one. I don't really give a crap if they have unlocked the resto staff ulti or PVP'd enough to get warhorn - just that they are a legitimate healer instead of a selfish little pretender.

@Iselin

If I were to heal your 4 man group on my sorc I would probably have overload slotted. Very little reason to do much healing in most dungeons unless the group chooses to bathe in damage and if that is the case they probably need the extra damage i will be putting out with overload.
