I apped to one of the better guilds on my holy pally, and they agreed to bring me along for a trial run. Turns out I get to Naxx25 and I'm one of 7 healers. Only paladin healer too, surrounded by CoH priests and druids with wild growth.
I follow the forums, I gem for int, I have the emblem for cheaper HL's, the 4 set, etc.. basically a setup where I should spam holy light.
But I show up to a raid where everyones geared to hell and I'm one of 7 healers. Basically nobody is taking any real damage, a person can't lose more then 2k health without 5 healers zerging to get a heal off (usually wild growth/CoH on the whole group).
So I think it's rather obvious I sucked it up hard on the meters. Then to top it all off, I'm treated like the typical recruit which I found a bit annoying. People pointing out my place on the meters and giving me tips to improve and all that, really pretty unnecessary imo. But I guess most people in positions of authority will try to flaunt it.
What do you think, is that a fair test? I'm not saying I would have been #1 if they brought 4 healers instead, but I would have obviously done much better, and I think it would have been a better way to test a recruit anyways.
Is it just me, or are paladins the worst healers when you start stacking more then necessary?
