So like I mentioned in the midweek channel, I’m reaching out to everyone to get their thoughts and opinions on a variety of things.  Before I get to the more targeted questions, is there anything you want to get off your chest about your own play, the team, the raid, the people, the game, anything?
You've only been with the team for a short time and have had a few moments of very impressive play. You have been a great addition to the team so far.

Honestly, I feel like I have performed pretty poorly these last few weeks. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't struggling a  bit playing a class that there are two of in raid. I'm a pretty competitive person and often I feel like I'm the B tier resto shaman in the group. This makes me upset and then affects my play. I know I'm being ridiculous with my expectations and even though a part of me is logical about it, emotions have been creeping up too much. I know as time goes on  this will become less of an issue because I'd feel more confident and comfortable in the group because I know people will have a wider data set to judge me on, but unfortunately, dying in the interim is not going to help people think I'm a good player :stuck_out_tongue:

I can see what you’re saying, but there have been times that you’ve handled things better than we could have expected. Whether on our Denathrius kill or this week solo healing your mirror side.

Berthikins — Today at 12:20 PM
the unfortunate part about that solo healing mirror pull is I uhh neutralized Anxiety when I dropped my seed during tricky ravage/massacre part and sometimes I wonder if he was a live for the extra minute if that would have been a kill

Berthikins — Today at 12:27 PM
And the thing is I can only blame solo healing for like 20% for how that neutralized played out. I remember I froze for a second after dropping my seed because I couldn't for the life of me remember how I was suppose to move after.
But I do know I somewhat rushed my decision on what to do since I knew I didn't have a lot of time to set up for the soak/shattering pain/blood price combo after but I don't know, I may have still killed Anxiety under normal conditions is what I'm saying

Babylonius — Today at 12:29 PM
And under normal conditions I think most people would have been able to solo heal that phase at all without being prepped for it

Babylonius — Today at 4:51 PM
So given your short time playing here, how are you feeling about your choice to join us?

Berthikins — Today at 5:05 PM
I'm happy I joined OE. Only downside is SLG but that isn't a unique OE problem

Babylonius — Today at 5:06 PM
It unfortunately is not

Berthikins — Today at 5:07 PM
I do prefer the speed strat we have been doing though

Babylonius — Today at 5:08 PM
Thats good, its been a contentious thing among the healers, I know

Berthikins — Today at 5:20 PM
It's sort of weird to me that it seemed like I was the only healer that was okay with how things were? The stress points the other healers brought up I didn't feel as much and I don't want to sound like I'm diminishing other peoples feelings by saying that. From my perspective at least, a lot of the failures we had were strictly from bad push timings and the random deaths that happened I think would have happened even with the old strat

Babylonius — Today at 5:21 PM
Well I think a big part of the compaints were the bad push timings, which was something that we did much better with on Wednesday when we reaffirmed what people should focus on

Berthikins — Today at 5:26 PM
I know Bolty seemed unhappy about SS timings but I might have been misunderstanding the intentions behind it

Babylonius — Today at 5:29 PM
I think some of that is the nature of Disc vs other healers

Babylonius — Today at 5:42 PM
Is there anything else that you've noticed in your time here that you think we could do better?

Berthikins — Today at 5:46 PM
Nothing is really coming to mind at the moment

Babylonius — Today at 6:59 PM
Ok, we’ll I appreciate your time and your thoughts on things
