This Breakfast Topic has been brought to you by Seed , the AOL guest writer program that brings your words to WoW Insider’s pages. As the immortal Meat Loaf once said: “And I would do anything for love, but I won’t do that!” Many of us have aspects of the game that just aren’t that appealing to us. For me, that is healing. I love raiding. I really love it. I’ll worm my way into a group in a variety of roles. Need a tank to get the run going? I’ve got all four. Need someone to kite the adds on Magmaw? I’m pro with Chilblains. You want a ranged DPS to go up against Alysrazor? I’ll prove to you that despite all appearances, the boomkin is not a flightless bird. Oh, you need a healer. Good luck with that. For some reason, healing has never clicked with me. I’ve given it a few tries here and there, but it just hasn’t appealed to me. My hate affair began on my very first toon. I’d been leveling my paladin as protection for a while, late in The Burning Crusade . I had just reached level 20 and was invited to come tank a Blackfathom Deeps group. The group leader was a level 31 shaman who was trying to finish up a quest that had been apparently been moldering in his quest log for a while. We made it past the first couple of bosses, when the shaman declared that he was going to tank the rest of the instance and I should heal him. Still being new to the game, I had no idea what was going on and struggled to cast healing spells with no mana, with my spellbook taking up half my UI. Since then, I’ve tried a few different healers, but none of them made it halfway to the level cap before becoming a DPS toon. I love my healers. I just couldn’t imagine being them. What about you?
