QQ: WTB Dummies | That’s Not My Name

The Problem

No, not that –> [item]Advanced Target Dummy[/item] < — ….

It’s those Dummies those Dpser enjoy hitting.
Why there aren’t any Dummies for Healer and Tank…
No, I am not accepting technology excuse for that.

Reason #1328: Why Healing is hard
I can’t learn or test out my healing spec without risking people’s life.
And, Even in real time action, it’ll probably like feeling rather than an experimental result.

“Heal someone, or heal youself for the HPS.” Some might suggest
This is not working, take shaman as example
1. Blessing of Eternal : Chance earthliving become 100% (When Target at low health)
2. Chain Heal stop when there is no target in range
3. Ancestral Awakening: Heal some one in 40 yard range, effective noone!

And, where can I learn about healing?
5 man heroic is a piece of cake, since everyone is outgearing them
And In raid, there always are some outgeared healer around.
Also I am well aware how some skill combo each other, I just need to learn that as a reflex…

The Solution

The only solution so far, is : M&S…
/yay finally got an use of them

I can keep up the group with 1-2 M&S, which effectively leeching my mana, for healing those unnecceasrry damage and over pulling couple of trash together.

Carrying M&S is the only option for healer to face any difficulties hard enough for them to earn that skill.
While I avoid meeting M&S at all cost, Running PUG Heroic Daily designated you meet such situation once a week.

QQ: Blizzard, please give us some dummy to heal. So that we can work out our “rotation” or talents.

I am not called "Healer"

I am not called "Healer"

From the Boring Heroic PUG, this song run through my head couples of time
(In my own version of lyrics of course)

Healer – That’s Not My Name

They call me ‘Heal’
They call me ‘Resto’
They call me ‘her’
They call me ‘Res’
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name

They call me ‘Healbot’
But I’ve got my Totem
‘Resto Shaman’ / ‘Hero-i-sm’
Always the same
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name
That’s not my name

I miss the heal if they hit me at all
I’m the first kid getting into the group
Keep up, falling, these heals they keep me boring
Getting Earthshield up and standing at the back now

So alone all the time at back
Charge up blue bars
Listen to me, I’m OOM
Although I’m dry up, out and all with
Everything considered they forget my name
(ame, ame, ame)

    WELL DONE! I, too, have discovered them good for this use. You can also be experimental to try new things on them because if you wipe you can always blame it on, “The tank isn’t gemming for stamina like the one in my old guild so I’m not used to this smaller lifebar.” or call someone out for not using bubble/iceblock/dispersion and you can know that they didn’t because M&S dpsers are oblivious to any ability they have that doesn’t deal damage!

      I didn’t actually take them as lab rat,
      because sooner or later, they’ll made those mistake.

      I did find some serious mistake on my setup as well
      but that’ll be another post
      (Woot!? Another Off-topic post?)
