Stop queuing for PotD if you don't intend to DPS at all.

Cleric Stance, Protect and Swiftcast are the only mandatory cross class skills, so I can't fathom why a Scholar wouldn't have at least the first two (which are required to even be able to become a Scholar). Astro, sure, maybe they don't know. But this was a party of three White Mages that did absolutely nothing to contribute.

A little off topic, but coming across a SCH without Protect wouldn't be completely out of the ordinary. In raid scenarios, a SCH may want to prioritise Blizzard II > Protect (providing co-healer has it) depending on the fight. And we might not always remember to switch out abilities back and forth all the time. :'D

Make Bards use their Ballad..

I would amend this to "make them turn off their damned Ballad." I pretty much never want to see Ballad played outside of emergencies that involve healers being rezzed.

I've had two Bards refuse to use Foe Requiem for me because they thought my damage scaled off Piety. Really.

Huh? xD

Oh man.. I've only done PotD with randoms twice maybe?

Seeing how each group works differently made me change my mind and always do it with fixed party of friends.
Some want to speed run, others want to kill ever single mob.

There's one issue I can see & that's people who are on ACN/SCH or AST & either haven't levelled CNJ or don't have Cleric Stance cross classed. It's unforgivable in my opinion but then again I'm a DPS SCH so healing is my secondary function. It's one if the perils of being able to reach lvl60 in PoTD with a class you know nothing about & might never have even used outside it.

In PoTD my fairy does the healing except when someone doesn't pay attention & gets into the danger zone, then I step in. XD

If they don't have conj or are trying a class I understand not having cleric but if you can't at least through out dots to show you are trying to help or if you are spamming cure(or the ast/sch versions of the spells) there really is no excuse.

I agree but I've seen SMN that only use Ifrit (in Sic, naturally) because they don't even *know* that others are available. PoTD is literally the dregs of the FFXIV world at times because of the way it is possible to have levelled all your classes to 60 but have only done the initial lvl0-30 job quests to get the job stone.

Foe's not ballad unless its an emergency, and if you are a healer that is running out of mp due to dpsing, learn proper mp management

Wtf? Even if it did it's magic damage.

If I'm the sole DPS in a PotD run with 3 Healers, if you don't use Cleric Stance, I'm not going to attack anything.

Ahaha, no. No.
