Topic | Tank, healer, uhh...other? |
Esrac 04/06/17 2:03:03 AM #15: | I do well at any of those roles. Back when I played WoW, I'd switch roles depending on my mood. It was pricey due to respecing every couple days, especially before they let you have two saved builds. I played a Paladin. That did mean I was rather familiar with each style of play. However, functionally, I mainly tanked in my own 5 man runs and mainly DPS'd during guild raids, but I could step in to heal or tank as needed. I'm particularly fond of class roles that are support hybrids. I'm okay with dealing less damage, for example, if I have support abilities for my team mates. I'd keep Hand of Protection hot keyed, incase a healer or squishy DPS caught aggro. I'd toss out a Hand of Sacrifice or Sacred Shield on the tank, or other focused target, and bubble during boss fights with high damage phases to make the healers' job easier. I'd toss a Hand of Freedom on snared targets. I'd cast a FoL boosted by Selfless Healer on damaged party members if the healers were falling behind. I'd even taunt stray adds that were going after ranged to lure them to the tank's range. Sure, that meant I dealt a little less damage sometimes, but like to think I saved a few team mates from death and maybe helped prevent a wipe by using that situational support instead of getting tunnel vision on muh deeps. --- ...
