It's not a Conjurer's job to keep you alive

And it's not a barbarian's job to hit enemies, or a warlock's job to use Terror, or an archer's job to fill the enemy with arrows. Of course, effective players will use their class abilities as effectively as possible, but they're all free to play ineffectively as possible too. However it is their teammate's choice to laugh at their lack of ability if they wish, too. I think most of us get a laugh when we see someone playing their class terribly. A conjurer shooting his staff when he teammates need mana/healing/revive, a barbarian repeatedly charging the enemy alone and dying in 2 seconds, a knight running around yelling "Vida!" when he's got 90% health left, an archer who forgot that SotW is no longer god mode running into 10 enemies and dying in 2 seconds, or a warlock staying on the front lines way to long. It is everbody's right to play stupidly, and everbody's right to criticize such play.

I'm curious how long you save a spell that's got a 10 second cool-down? If you're playing most effectively, you will know who most needs to be healed just before Heal comes out of cool-down, so you can cast it the moment it is ready.

When I play my conjurer...I am oblivious to the fight (except for when pushes are called)...most of the time I have the "V" key pressed and I'm babysitting health bars.

On a side note though....if you need "vida" or mana...I suggest you back away from the door....I'd imagine other conj have a hard time healing folks when their head is in the door...
