I main Bard, usually in LFG Groups im a Healbot, just to save ppls Potions. Personally idm if a Guardian took 3 or 5 min to die, so i only use Courage if no one flop, wich is maybe the case in 1/15 Runs.
But no random DPS has to cry about your Heal on a Guardian who is close to a Lootchest.
If people are missing health itâs ideal to use your heal at 1 bubble, itâs plenty enough
i usually heal if there 2 or more people below half
but when there only 1, i dont want to waste my heal only to heal that 1 person when he can just use pot
because filling bard special meter take forever without using any ult
If your heal is up with 1 bubble then just throw it down. Even if itâs just one person
Heal shouldnât be your priority, your priority is to give damage. Heal when (if) they are out of pots, but obviously not in a Guardian.
Whoever dies in a Guardian, deserves to remain dead and ignore/block that berserker.
sounds like someone who is just bad at the game trying to blame others 
. ignore and move on.
I prefer if bards 3 bar damage buff in guardian raids. Players should be used to running these dailies without a support. With a bard providing shields you really shouldnât be needing to use potions to clear guardians that youâre used to running without supports.
I always double 3 bar dps buff when running my daily Yohos on my bard alt. Usually that leaves enough meter for me to drop a one bar heal at some point in the fight.
Donât worry you will get your vengance when you reach Valtan Hard and charge 3k gold per DPS.
Exactly. Heals are something you have to use as an EMERGENCY (for instance, Valtan, no rez, someone made a mistake in P3 and donât have pots).
Bard and Paladin are not âhealersâ, they are meant to give you dmg. Their mitigation should be enough for you, they are not there to âhealâ you and if you think they are you donât know how the class works.
Of course they can heal you, but thatâs not what they have to do. We have to save our Identity dmg buff for the right moments to use.
If someone needs to be constantly healed, kick them out of raid, guardian or whatever, those are the kind of players you donât want to group with.
Go call him a bot. Fight Class based stereotypes with Class based stereotypes.
And yes, healing is the thing a bard can do better than any other class.
It really depends. Most of the time for matchmaking Iâll heal and top people off when they are at 60-80%, I donât wait till they are nearly dead.
The reason why they arenât nearly dead when you play is because they use potions, so if you arenât healing them when they are hurt until they are nearly dead then guess what? You are only healing them when they are nearly dead and have no potions.
I get it, you gotta choose between damage and healing, but for most pugs you still wanna spam that 1 chord heal to save your alliesâ potion usage. Keeping them topped is usually also good for damage uptime as theyâll play less passively when thereâs less risk.
Zerker just mad he got ânerfedâ and now canât unga bunga without dodging anymore. Youâre doing fine.
You are going to get at least same amounts of complaints if you donât use attack buff.
I have usually done the first 2 pips/charges for attack buff then if party needs healing when I have the next pip/charge its a heal. Then see what happens next.
I have started liking my paladin more. Feels more like it can do healing without loss of attack buff and people avoiding âsmallâ circle that I try and place in a good spot but then boss also often immediately pummels the spot ârandomlyâ.
youâre fine if anything unga bunga didnât know the fight well enough and expect you to save his rear when others didnât need you too
Yeah, consistency and not having to rely on allies to group up are so good in PUGs. I run both and its a big difference.
Yeah youâre fine.
When Iâm on my bard alt, I usually watch health bars just incase 1-2 people need a top up now and then, but mostly try to hold out for the 3x dps buff as well
The damage boost is rather limp if you arenât on voice calling bursts imo.
I just spam the heal on guardian because it saves people gold.
Zerk players lmao, ignore them. Their opinion is irrelevant
I heal on my bard to save people from using pots⌠itâs kinda the point. It taking another 45 seconds to kill yoho doesnât really matter
I usually do 3bar atk buff first. Then 1bar heal if needed. Then probably more atk buffs. If someone dies in a first minute its their fault.
You should still throw the occasional lvl 1 heal imo. DPS can push more damage if they can just tank the tail swipes and other stuff that doesnât knock down.
Though in my experience just shields should be enough for that, and Iâm playing a damn Deadeye with Grudge⌠The dude must have been facetanking literally everything without picking up orbs.
