For quite some time, I've been a healer main, and never quite understood the animosity or distrust tanks showed toward healers.
Right up until I started tanking.
And ya know what? I get it now, I really do.
My alt is a tank, and he's even got returner slapped over his head. I'm still trying to get my hands around tanking and really grasping it, and I'm not totally comfortable with it. But you know what? I'm not bad, I go at my own pace, and sure, I'm not going pulling wall to wall, but I'm pulling and keeping aggro.
But ever since I picked this tanking character back up, I've had nothing but absolute aggro from healers. Healers who just, don't like the pace I'm going at. Healers who think that just because they went into leveling Q, they shouldn't have to keep in mind that not everyone is ready for their balls to the wall impact.
And as someone who has played healer since they started back in HW, this is...depressing? Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of things to be salty about as a healer, and there are plenty of things I still gripe about but guys, c'mon, a tank going a little too slow for your taste?
I don't...know what the solution for this is, but I'll be honest, the healer entitlement has been getting out of control. We're...not Halone's gift to the team, and we're not the sole important member of a team. Everyone is important for their own reasons, and we need to remember our respective roles.
Also, play other roles every now and then, really gives perspective.
