I've healed off and on over the years, and tend to get intimidated the first few times. I just started healing with a resto druid and stating up front that I'm new would help immensely!

However... I tend to "warn" the group beforehand if I'm not on an ICC-geared toon, just because I don't want them to get all crazypants pulling. My t-8 geared priest, for example - yeah I'm a lil rusty, but I'm perfectly prepared for your basic heroic like HHOL. But I'm definitely not geared enough to pull out a miracle if the tank decides to pull 3 packs of mobs gauntlet-style. It's sad that I have to provide a warning to the tank to not go all insane. When you're an experienced healer, and the DPS has been waiting in line for 20 mins to get into the group and had better behave, you can definitely set the tone for the group. If you make it a fun, supportive environment, then the dude who was going to be a jerk probably won't, and the rest of the group will be pleased as punch. .-= zelmaru´s last blog: <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MurlocParliament/~3/S-DpE-XPC3s/tale-of-two-guilds-look-at-mmo.html" rel="nofollow">A tale of Two Guilds: A look at MMO democracy in action</a> =-.

I ran a random heroic the other night and the tank said "I just bought some offset emblem gear. This is my first time tanking - ever." Everyone was nice and more than happy to help. People like helping. It's a warm fuzzy feeling. I had panic moments while pug tanking on my newbie paladin. Had NO idea what was going on. But I said so and it worked out okay. I learned something, and along the way got more confident. Compliments and dead bosses continued from there! Great series for new healers, though I must confess they apply to most any role so far. It's good old fashioned common sense! .-= Ceralyn´s last blog: <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/nether-light/~3/dUGSXOuhAG8/on-arrangement-of-pixels-mixing-it-up.html" rel="nofollow">On the Arrangement of Pixels: Mixing It Up</a> =-.
