More annoyed with ppl that think only Templars can heal.

this.

aside from that - personal pet peeve about healing in this game. triage doesn't exist. part of the fun of healing for me - is triage, but aside from putting healing pools on the ground, all healing is smart healing.

another peeve is how long it can take to level skill lines. but that applies to all roles really.

last but not least... some of us might have a healer who is an alt, who still needs to do the dungeon quests and you running off while I'm waiting for npc to finish talking so i could click on them to progress the quest chain - means I cannot do so, means I don't get to finish it, and it's just.. frustrating. as dps, I can just lag behind and catch up - as a healer, I don't get that opportunity because I see you all killing yourself and more trash ahead, not waiting whatsoever.

oh and... shut up, elitists. some of us have to start somewhere and that somewhere is crafted sets, and/or occasional world drops. this expectation that you will just zone into the dungeon wearing already completed min maxed set - uh.. dude... those things take time and luck to farm, you have GOT to start somewhere. Shut. up.

For leveling skill lines join the Alkir dolmen zerg, You can run with restoration staff and some aoe as you only need to do a bit damage. With small group focus on heal.
It don't look like the large groups debuff on xp affect skill leveling at least my skills leveled up very fast.

oh I know. but it means I have to level it by grinding rather then by actualy healing. which is a bit... annoying at times. I can manage, but it doesn't make it any less of a peeve :P

The only pet peeve I have about healers is that there are a few healers that'll only heal themselves and won't heal anyone else.

I don't meet them alot but when I do, it's just annoying to deal with.

@Seri Well, the thing is Ward goes to all directions but Prayer only one. BoL has the advantage of not wasting heal in a scattered group, just like Ward, but targets two (not using the other morph of Ward). Prayer's range is also smaller, I believe.

BoL costs more than Prayer, but I'd have preferred BoL over chasing people down while spamming Ward, which I believe has costed more Magicka.

Anyway it was some time ago. I now most likely don't need to do that again. (I hope).

Healing ward and breath cost the same, combat prayer is like 20% less. The big heal from breath only hits in Front of you, while the small hitting in a 360° 28 meter radius, ward from healing ward it's in player in the same radius of the half heal from breath.

You don't have to but its the fastest, its also nice to have some healing skills unlocked then you queue for healer

You don't need all for normal dungeons

RT_Frank · June 2017

Biggest pet peeve as a healer: when 15k or so hp DPS complain why I can't heal them after an 18k attack...

Biggest pet peeve against healers: when they think healing is just playing as a worse DPS that uses BoL every now and then.

Interesting. So there is even a smaller gap between staff healers and Templar healers. That's good to know. I don't really envy Templar's resource sharing and purge, but I really wish I had a better burst. Now I feel better...

BoL only works in front of you now as well. And still you're right in that BoL is still a great burst heal and one of the few healing advantages templars do have(although Twilight is now better but she can and does die sometimes). It's literally the ONLY templar heal worth slotting though. Templars have no good AoE heals and if a templar is not using Springs and Prayer they're just not doing it right.

However then you are an healer so its ok, problem is DD who might not even have an restoration staff queue as healer.
You ran into an tank who queued as healer, they are rare.

flizomica · June 2017

As a healer, for F's sake stop running around like monkeys. Especially when a dps happens to get aggro and they sprint in the opposite direction of my heals..

The concept of stacking within the radius of a springs is entirely lost on most people.

People that think i have to run spc - sorry that not a healer set imo and i will never run that over something that will give 11% more healing if 258 spell/weapon dmg brakes you then you were bad dps any way

people standing in red the entire fight
Tanks running slow after a fight do to debuff and i follow him casting my Ritual of Retribution and never cure them self.
Doing 49% or more of the dmg on a boss as a healer
people that blame me for dieing that have 14khp and are face tanking the hard hitting boss attacks

My most annoying thing about being a healer tho is having to always pay 3k to change my cp points and change my gear and skill EVERY time i want to quest or do dungeons

That's a very bad mentality. SPC is the single greatest damage buff you can provide as a healer. It's not about having 'just enough dps,' ESO rewards you tenfold for having great DPS. Fewer mechanics to worry about, adds die faster, quicker runs...

If you think that SPC isn't a healing set then you don't know a thing about healing in this game.

Iselin · June 2017

As a healer the guy who always follows me and stands behind me... I will let you die dude.

As a non-healer the DPSer who thinks he can queue as a healer although he slots no heals 'cause he's the proud owner of a Resto Staff... which is probably Sharpened.

bebynnag · June 2017

when a magic DD is 'playing the meta' but doing a really bad job of it in a trial
whinging that they are constantly out of resources
despite having worm & magic drain up constantly
even though the other DDs (running the exact same build) are absolutley fine for resources
even though you are literally throwing everything at them (shards & orbs) as a priority over the rest of the team
even though morrowind hasnt even gone live yet (this happened on console)

Ihatenightblades · June 2017

When healers think breath of life is enough smh.

Heal over times > burst heals

Heal over time + burst heals is a good healer

Also if they are wearing worm cult or spell
Power cure im very happy

Houshiki · June 2017

Pet peeve against healers, well not really, just pretend healers that queue as a healer thinking they can fill the role with only a twilight summoned. Really, having one heal ability slotted does not make one a healer. Especially when he only casts it occasionally while spamming force pulse (I don't even think he had a resto staff equipped). Then rage quits after wiping from a boss a couple times because the "healer" couldn't keep the group alive. I've got my shield and surge, but those have limits when the boss drains your magicka and you're being mobbed by adds.

On the other hand, as a dps that often moves around a fair bit. I'm really sorry for healers that are annoyed, seriously, I picked up the habit from vMA. At least I don't stand in stupid, run away from every single add coming towards me, or hide behind the healer.

When they tell me healing springs is garbage and spamming BoL is the only way to go.

I say the exact opposite.

When healing
Bow users who stand behind me while healing.
How the hell am I going to buff you and heal you?

When not healing
Um, can you please stop with the jabby jab were all dying here
Oh, never mind we're dead go ahead and just solo it for us.

No! I'm going to ride that one button jabby jab all the way to Oblivion lol

I'm pretty sure that's a similar tactic to my face tanking stam sorc. Except he goes all stabby stab.

BoL wont work on scattered group anymore, since the latest patch it has a line of sight mechanic.
Also, spamming it these days is a good way to run out of magicka completely.
Yes, ward costs a bit more (at least it used to), but its still very efficient and works on any target, you dont have to look at them. Resto ward+HoTs is a very powerful combo, and its much more potent (even hps-wise) than mindless BoL spam.

A bit monday morning Maddess or you! So lets start off what bothers you about those who call themselves healers!

Ex
Stingy with shards or orbs
Arggod the mobs
Let me feel to close to the brisk of death.

Not many things bother me about other healers. Bit annoyed when you can't handle the poison face darkshade... I mean I can self heal and all, but those poor dps. I feel a little bother when don't heal my tank for a few mins and I getting lower in health till 50% comes along and you see to notice me. Once again it's always good to self sustain. Not much, but it's your turn now!

I almost never play with the luxury of having healer in my group or even anywhere near me, so if somebody starts healing me I am very grateful and never complain.

You know, you can use both at the same time... AND a monster shoulder or helmet.

It was one of the very first thing I taught my gf when we were doing randoms together. She isn't the best and would often complain she wasn't getting healed. So I explained to her. If the healer is actually a healer and not just a dps faking it, there are not many single target heals in the game and lots of heals are aoe. And the healer will be using those. So while it may seem stupid if you aren't getting healed anyway and you are melee stand on the tank. The healer will almost always be healing them. And if that fails or you are range, stand on the healer. Now this may annoy the *** out of the healer and they may move around. But really if they aren't healing you anyway who cares if you annoy them. Stand on them. They will be healing themselves.

As a healer it is a pet peeve of mine. It is hard to let someone die if they are standing near someone I don't want to die.
