Vent away!
It must...Felesity, I totally understand. Vent away!<br />It must happen to a lot of people (us included) and I think the best tonic is to try something new. That character won't go anywhere while you level the resto shaman and it's worth the effort if you can find that healing mojo again.<br />I've found that since I resolved to try something different I feel a lot better - I hope you do as well.<br />Good luck!Aralosseienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458332573988296273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982912316952387789.post-47645393279815390002011-04-20T11:03:34.155-07:002011-04-20T11:03:34.155-07:00I am beyond frustrated with Paladin healing, and I...I am beyond frustrated with Paladin healing, and I find myself wanting to just either quit playing all together or not raid anymore. Is it my class or just me? I find Heroics a nightmare with or without a guild run, so I am just not doing them anymore. I leveled my paladin as a retribution up to 85 and dual specked as holy because I really wanted to heal. Raid healing has gone good and bad for me. My Lich King guild broke up and I have been in several since then, but not really feeling that I belong. I am sorry for the negative post, I just need to vent about how I feel about healing in Cata. Right now I am leveling a Resto Shaman hoping that I will find my place with healing again. <br />Thanks for listening to me rant.Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09927610121933194886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982912316952387789.post-47492450911388543902011-04-14T11:18:05.869-07:002011-04-14T11:18:05.869-07:00I do love being seen as a kick-ass boomkin ^.^
Th...I do love being seen as a kick-ass boomkin ^.^<br /><br />Thanks for the words of encouragement Val. I've decided to try my hand at levelling a holy paladin and level it mostly through dungeons to get the experience of bad groups, pulls gone wrong and class issues that I wouldn't get if I waited to do guild runs once I hit 80.<br /><br />Hopefully, all that practice will cure me of my pugging fears and I'll have the confidence to get back into resto druid healing.<br /><br />p.s. Long, rambling comment is welcome and encouraged!Aralosseienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458332573988296273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982912316952387789.post-83925186211236215802011-04-14T06:28:03.990-07:002011-04-14T06:28:03.990-07:00I’m sorry to read that you don’t enjoy druid heali...I’m sorry to read that you don’t enjoy druid healing at the moment, though to an extent I certainly understand why. Cataclysm heroics can be a nightmare; especially if you’re running them with less understanding players (guild runs + vent got me through the early ones, and pugging still makes me nervous).<br /><br />“[…] do I push aside my fear that I'll be bad at healing whatever class I play and just GO FOR IT[…]” <br /><br />Assuming you *want* to heal – Yes! Everyone’s bad in the beginning, and you won’t get better by not practicing. <br /><br />“Or do I stop feeling guilty that my guild doesn't have enough healers to raid[…]”<br /><br /> Yes, again. Don’t guilt yourself into playing a role that you don’t enjoy! It’s unfair to you, and might even prove unfair to your guild if you play a character that gradually wears you down and makes you change characters again/quit the game, even o.O <br /><br />If you want to heal, then do it for yourself, because you want to. If you want to keep trying on the druid then do it. It gets easier, and more fun. If you want to continue playing as dps, then do that. If you want to play a different healing class then go-for-it. I think you’re noticing a pattern here. Do what *you* enjoy. Of course being an asset to the guild is important, but a kick-ass boomkin is way superior to an unwilling tree. <br /><br />You may already have done this but running the normal versions is a great help – even if you’re technically geared enough for the heroics. It’s less stressful, and teaches you to handle mana. <br /><br />Whatever you chose, I hope you find a way to play the game so that you enjoy it!<br /><br />/hug<br />-Val<br /><br />P.s.
