So there are some things I'd like to get off my chest that I normally bite my tongue about in-game. I feel I am speaking for about 25% of the engineers in all of sl when I say these things, and that's a generous number. Because I understand that 75% of all engineers take their skills for granted, but thats a different subject all together. No, this thread is to all my fellow support class heroes who are struggling to do a good job. Just venting our side to the story, since I've seen many discussions on how "we need to learn our class."
STIMS, if we are far away and can not heal you, why do people refuse to use them!? If I have died and im running across the map to get back, USE STIMS instead of taking the time to write and demand heals from a dead engineer. If you can take time to demand heals I think you can use a couple stims. This is mainly an issue on mysterious figure runs. People LET themselves die at the boss demanding heals from a dead or non existent engineer. Non existent meaning, they switched to their toon with luck elixer which probably isn't an eng. Letting yourself die ruins it for everyone, especially on pink runs where people are throwing down 25 plat on luck/speed elixers.
HEALS, they are nothing more than a courtesy, don't think otherwise. Demanding them doesnt help anyone! Seriously do people think engineers can not see the teams health!? lol. Any decent engineer is watching the teams health, and is trying their best to keep those meters at 100%. I spam heals more than anyone I know and people still have the nerve to demand them like im doing a bad job. I know my job, and i take pride in trying to be the best at it.
REVIVES, again they are a courtesy. Demanding them after 0.2 seconds of being dead DOES NOT GET YOU REVIVED ANY FASTER. Again do people think we are blind? Think we can't see your dead body, see your health meter at zero, or hear your death!? Lol this infuriates me. x)
This isn't me trolling or hating on anyone so I hope no one takes it the wrong way. Just thought I'd share a few of my pet peves about being an engineer, and was wondering how many forum users, that are engineers, felt the same.

Thanks for this! It really says a lot for us "real" engineers. And your right, a lot of eng play tank or dps instead of healing. Our healing is a gift! And our skills have cool down just like yours! Another thing really annoying is when someone types "rev me!" every 0.1 seconds then as soon as I clear the mob with the couple ops that are still alive and go over to rev he respawns! And we engineers use allot of mana pots. We have to because in every group there is that 1 person who thinks they have to get all the guys in 3 rooms and then demand heals and revs when they die and are mean because we "didn't do a good enough job healing me but when I die you heal everyone else enough to barley keep them alive!" and tanks do nee to do a better job. On delta 7 miner mc.gruik (or however it's spelled) I (the eng) always had to enter first cause all the coms an ops were to worried about being killed to go first. Then when they get in there they shoot everything! Anyone else have this problem? And art, thanks for this! I really like being able to tell everyone what bugs us!:)

Ok I'll definitely do that. You on now? I'm greasy (I think I mentioned that above)
