Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

My biggest horror story happens repeatedly. I get an undergeared tank who pulls 3-4 groups of mobs in WP, and then starts marking them. He then proceeds to get upset when DPS AoEs and gets enmity. Usually he'll say something like, "Omg, if you don't attack the mobs I mark, I'm leaving." Seriously? There is no point in pulling 15 mobs to down them one at a time. It doesn't speed anything up. I know what you're thinking. Maybe he's marking just the tonberries so a BLM can sleep the rest. Nope, I've seen this in groups where we didn't lock anything out or even have a BLM. This is a good way to test whether it is in fact possible for a scholar to run out of mana, but not a great way to speed up a run.

I know the feeling, bro.

*initiates cross-server SCH fist bump*

I have shiny new AK stories, stories that will make you cry at night...but let's skip them. This time my sons, we talk about Qarn.
A friend needed it for GC log, since he switched company, and the chars we're levelling together (warrior and bard) are now at the right point for it, but I wasn't really feeling like trying and DPS it, so I just went as WHM, and we DFed the rest. After a bit I notice Bard has Ballad on, while everybody is at full mana, and doesn't seem intentioned to take it off. So proceed to ask him to, since that only gimped the run, but no answer. The Ballad stays on until he runs out of mana and it auto turns off. At that point I think someone died because the group was basically outputting no damage, but anyway the situation didn't seem nice. For the rest of the run, Ballad was never used anymore, not even when needed ofc. There was a terrible mortality rate, especially the infamous bard would get one shotted by aoes most of the time; I felt sooo happy I had swiftcast since I basically had to spend half of the time raising. During the first boss, after a million raises (a lot of deaths from bees because they were taken down too slowly) and crazy heal spam boss decides there's no way he's getting away from me no matter what, so I spend the rest of the battle tanking/kiting. The last boss was a special pain due to the time it took to take him down and me running out of mana. Oh, I so missed Shroud, both for aggro and mana...

It amazes me that a Paladin would go over half of AK without using Circle of Scorn, despite me asking repeatedly for him to use it.

I really enjoy tanking everything, let me tell you. Especially the stuff I can't Sleep. xD

Good Horror Story!

I managed to get my arcanist up to level 20 and used the low level roulette to jump into a copperbell run. Everyone says "Hello" and things go great for about 3 minutes, then the Conjurer DCs. We wait and chat for 3 minutes and the tank says, "let's just try to press on for giggle". So we press on and by gosh we WIN with no party wipes (Although I did end up kiting the tiny puddings as the last guy standing). Fun was had by all three of us, thank the gods for Physick!

Bad Horror Story!

99% of the tanks in the game are awesome or willing to learn, so please don't take this as another tankrage story.

but.... I'm so tired of Bad WP Speed Run attempts. I don't mind when the tank tries, I can recover when the tank doesn't even say "Speed Run LOL" or something... but after the SECOND wipe without even killing any enemies maybe the tank can slow down and try just grabbing 2 or 3 mobs? I did my second ever ragequit last night and I still feel bad about it.

It's really rough when the group starts going on in chat about what a bad healer you are and you can't even respond because you're mashing powers as fast as you can while the tanks health continues to plummet from the 14 enemies attacking him...

I am new to healing in dungeons since I have just started leveling my Conj, but in the first dungeon you can do I was too focused on the tank so the Arc died about 10 minutes into the dungeon. Before I could say my bad he just types "........" and leaves. I know I should have been watching the DPS too, but it is the first dungeon and we had only been playing for 10 minutes lol.

That's bad to hear. The reason I still do WP as tome farming method, apart from being a grumpy habitudinary, is it's the only DF run where I meet nice people amost all the time. True nobody ever announces speedruns, but guess cause now that's the standard way to go, but usually if a tank happens to die on a pull slows them down after, in my experiences, and no blame to the healer.
Lately all of my DF stories but the WP ones have become horror, guess that's why I don't use roulette and I'm ignoring new content :/

I find it very odd for a warrior to depend on sacred soil to tank a Ultima Bane Boss. I've always used it whenever I could, mostly on the tanks + melee's nearby. (As well as a fey covenant macro w/ it) Yet despite the many sacred soil I've placed, this barnacle claims ive never used it once aaaand it was the cause of his death. (????????) Last time ive checked, if I was on this warrior toon, I would of used the defensive cooldowns during "The Momment I saw the WhiteMage + 4 other pt members Die to a lazor" (Him included of the four)


Why do tanks have to try to eat aoe indicators. . . Why. . . .. . .

I have a shiny new healing horror story to share.

So I was Garuda EMing yesterday. Been trying to beat her for a few days now but every time I DF the fight, there's always at least 1 person who messes up and we can't clear her. My party yesterday was ESPECIALLY bad. I pull a JP party out of the hat and I'm thinking "ok this shouldn't be too bad" since in my experiences JP players have tended to be better than english speakers. MT pulls Garuda and we're all doing out thing. Things are fine until her sisters appear. USUALLY, the MT takes garuda and suparna while the OT takes chirada for the dps to kill. This party went a whole other route though. The tank didn't bother grabbing chirada at all and just dragged Garuda away while the OT took one sister and our squishy dps took the other one. (Note: Our party composition was 1 monk, 2 bards and a BLM) That phase was pretty easy to heal through though so I didn't think much of it.

So we get to her last phase before she repeats her pattern. (For those wondering, 5 whirlwinds in an X pattern) I'm thinking, maybe they'll do it right this time. Instead we go back to the bards tanking one sister, the MT tanking garuda while the OT has the other sister. Of course the squishies are dying like crazy now because it's the final phase and they all have a few more mechanics than before and the monk is busy dpsing down the OTs target like he should be. So we wipe and this cycle happens a few more times before I decide to quit. =_=;;

Oh I'm so sorry SulwynCaliope and Toddx77. Healing Hard Mode Primals is the worst. If a DPS or even a Tank dies then you do an insta-rez, but if a healer dies then usually everyone dies and it's "ALL THE HEALORZ FAULT".

If I had 10,000 gil for everytime a DPS died and blamed me, my FC could buy several houses on a legacy server....

Omg! This weekend I was in Ultima Bane with this group composed of 2 pld, 2whm (one of them is me), 2 smn, 2 blm. The other whm and I were healing like crazy, and I think we did well, out of mp alot because ppl kept on dying, eating laser, cannot dodge attacks...etc. At some point, I think we are out of mp and our healing is limited.
smn: Healer got to keep up heals
me: its not a healing problem
smn: I died because I was not getting heal
me: you died because of stupidity
smn: I am waiting for you to explain what the stupidity is
me: did not dodge avoidable aoes, taking unnecessary damage
smn: I can't believe you are still wearing greens
I was like omg, is she referring to my hq vanya hat (penta melded), hq vanya robe (penta melded) and my stratego ring (guess that is kinda horrible).....
This smn is such a nub!!! I was surprise someone can be so dumb....
I know how to heal Ultima Bane....farm it with a good group several times on sunday...ppl just need to know how to dodge!

Brayflox in DR
Tank was undergeared, new to the instance. pulling by AA +flash. here I am in DL/zenith, trying not to pull hate (C1s and the eventual regen). DPS was good, BLM and DRG, so we made it through to the final boss with just a wipe on the 1st dragon (the one with the gobbie bomber).
Final boss was... MAYHEM!
1st try: tank pulls sword oath, and stands right in front eating everything coming his way. down in 3 shots. insta raise - he walks into a poison pull while the drg was kiting about.we wipe and explain the fight to him
2nd try: he pulls the dragon and starts running in circles so the beast is literally spinning on himself, with the poor DRG in tow trying to WS. Tank stops when? In a green pool when red goes off. Raise once. Dies again with boss going wild. BLM manages to pull off a LB and get eaten alive. Mana/megaether down, CD gone, dragon is finished off by dots while the DRG kites around with like 30 HP.
I commended them for that :)

On a higher level note, every time people are not committed to what they're doing it can potentially become a nightmare. Some fights are taxing on MP, per se, WHMs have a lot to keep a keen eye on. Why making it harder on the whole group by not paying attention? I'm not talking about 'watching video guides to be ready' i do not believe a video guide will make you proficient, you need to live the fight and yes, potentially die through it to master it later. it's all good to me
But try to play at the best of your ability. Be there. Be ready. Have items in case sh*t hits the Tornadoes :D
don't just assume you'll be ok cause the tank will hold hate and the healers will keep you up while you zone out. I would never allow myself to waste people's time like that

I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you *stand, Men of the West!*

This just happened recently. I am leveling CNJ for crossclass abilities and am at lvl29 with mostly green Haukke equipment, ie not under geared for my level. I go into Haukke via DF and I end up with a GLD, DRG and THM. Immediately the tank and goon run ahead and start pulling mobs. I catch up and start helping out. After a few pulls I noticed the tank wasn't marking targets so I politely asked them to please mark. They then starting marking but the tank and goon don't seem to be following the marks at all so both of them are getting attacked and so I keep having to keep them both up. Then on top of that they kept hitting the mobs the THM was marking and sleeping. So they continue running ahead and doing sloppy pulls and being all over the place when fighting and not keeping AoE agro, forcing me to have to run in and spam medica to keep the tank and goon alive. We end up wiping a few times due to the tank and goon just running ahead and being sloppy but I chalk it up to them maybe not knowing the dungeon or being new. We get to the hall with the two maiden pats and he tank just rushes in and engages the first group and instead of bringing them back he just fights them in the middle of the hall, all the while the pats are moving closer. I even said that the pats were coming and nothing. So the maidens agro and the tank doesnt grab them so they both gang up on me and quickly drop me which results in a wipe since there were like 6 mobs engaged and a dead healer. So after the wipe the tank says that I should be using Cure 2. I tell him that I'm lvl29 and don't have it yet to which he responds well we need more healing and that is why we died. I let him know that I am spamming heals but that I can't keep up healing two people and that the reason we died was because of the pats. I then ask the tank and goon to please be more careful and not just run ahead and agro multiple groups. The goon then pretty much tells me to just shut up and heal. At this point I know this group is going to be a nightmare so I tell them I'm leaving. Immediately the goon tells me to go f**k myself and calls me a c**k sucker and continues to spew forth a deluge of obscenities before I just leave.

And that is my healing horror story.

I have only had a few tanks that will use flash sadly...

But the one that takes the cake happened today. In longstop, our tank had less hp than the drg. Yep, the dd has more hp. Ok, could be the dd is using hq gear or something to get a bunch of vit, might be a bad dd or something. Nope, check the tanks gear, has nothing over level 20 (not ilevel, regular level), all NQ. Now I'm thinking "this won't end well". Sure enough, he doesn't flash (and yes he was pld), I end up tanking all but his first mob, but we are progressing fine so I don't mind it too much. Then the first boss happens. He loses half his hp per auto attack, and doesn't do anything to the adds. We wipe faster than you can say "poison", and I comment on his gear choices. His reply: "I main dd and I don't craft, so of course my armor is bad. Why don't you @#%@ing heal better!" I left right then and there.

I'm so lucky I haven't had an experience like this yet. >< I generally run lowbie dungeons with friends now so it's not as likely to happen anymore. Did you report them for harassment? I would do so because what they said to you at the end was completely uncalled for.

In AK, group was pretty bad, but the tank was especially bad.

We get to Wall, EVERY time the bees would spawn...they would go to me and stay on me the entire time until we eventually wiped...because I couldnt avoid paralyze, while healing/esunaing, with bees on me, and people standing in shadow...

After 2 attempts I bring it up in Party Chat, the following attempt same thing happens, and the tank says "I Flash til out of mana they still on you"

He did not single target either bee at all, he sat on Wall the ENTIRE time, and waited at least 5sec to start Flashes, so the vicious cycle of, bees on me = more healing by me = more aggro for me (yes I Shrouded)

Now after 3 attempts of this (6 attempts total) I ask "Why cant you single target aggro the bees at all instead of Flash spam?"

The tank replies "Because we BURN boss! I burn the boss! Why we have to listen to you anyways?!"

I felt that was him giving me my queue to leave...so I did.

Burn?I'd call it fail to burn :P

My healing horror is having met a tank who refuse to use shield oath and flash in WP (and he admitted to have bought the account the day before) + a blm with relic weapon dressed up with spirit bonding items...

Result = wiped 5 times.

I play both healer and tank. I don't really have a worst experience. I do get a lot of tanks in wp runs that try to do a speed run, pull a bunch of mobs, use flash only once, and then by the time I heal a couple teams they all try to eat me. It really drives me nutz. Whatever happened to players learning their job and taking pride in being good at it lol

I did WP in a DF Pug tonight as a SCH and it was a night mare. we queue into the dungeon and I see a geared bard, a fresh 50 MNk and the warrior (NQ Relic, with mix of ilvl 70/90 gear and Regular AF helmet.

This guy proceeds to mark and pull each group in WP one by one marking them and single targeting threat only on his current target using IB at 5 stacks everytime, no flash, no overpower, no steel cyclone, not even bothering to touch the other enemies. Needless to say I would get healing aggro and the Bard would get AoE aggro and we would end up kiting the mobs around the room, the slashers would catch up to us and would wipe us.

After the first wipe, I ask him to please use flash and overpower so get aggro (I'm a warrior main, but even so this is common sense), he proceeds to tell me that if I THE HEALER only attacked the targets he marked I wouldn't get attacked by anything and he didn't need to use those abilities and waste his MP and TP.

This...is truly a nightmare *_*Did he just win the game yesterday in the cereals?

I came here to read what annoys healers so I can be a better tank...i'm honestly shocked at some of this stuff. That last story is just...how do you get to level 50 and a relic without knowing that healing pulls everything that's been activated? How people can be this stupid with only one head I have no idea.

Dumb DPS's in Titan who blame healers for not healing them when they stand in a double or triple Weight of the Land (4-6k DMG, more then they have HP), or Tanks the unnecessarily stand in AoE's. Most of the worst is a DPS who cannot avoid AoE's over and over and then lashes out because they died. Sorry buddy eventually my MP needs to go to the tank not you.

Not so much a healing horror story, but the premise is the same. People bitching that I wasn't raising them mid HM titan fight (Disclaimer: They were landslide'd out of the arena)

last night in Haukke HM. The tank was actually pretty good and the DPS were pretty good too even if a little low on gear. However, the tank insisted on telling me what to do constantly. Use holy it will go faster, aren't you going to do regen (I don't normally regen when we are fast pulling trash mobs). Then he tells me to use regen on bosses then, then this and that... we got to the second boss and i finally just left. We were doing fine, but I was getting annoyed by being told what to do and I had a headache anyway. I don't understand people that feel the need to tell everyone what to do - especially when it was going ok.

Q'd for high level roulette, and get an in progress run at 3/4. Turns out to be Pharos Siruis. I hadn't attempted it yet, and they were on Siren. I told them right away that I was new, but I had watched a video so I have a rough idea what to do. There was 18 minutes left when I arrived. The conversation went like this:

Player A: Hi! I hope you're crazy enough to heal through Siren.
Me: Haha I'm pretty crazy but I don't know, this is my first time here.
Player B: *flips table*
Player C: OMFG just kill me now
Player A: So sick of noobs learn the dungeon before q'ing in the DF.
Me: Uh I queued for roulette, and guess what? I use the DF to learn dungeons so I don't embarrass myself in front of players I have to see everyday. Just give me a chance.
Player A: Right, brb.
Player B: AFK

With five minutes left, neither had returned, so I left.

This is my first healing horror story where I didn't even cast cure. I was really frustrated that they wouldn't even give me a chance!

I guess he thinks Titan HM DF is the only way to go, and PUGing it is the worst thing possible...

My highest level is PLD37 and I too came over here to see "what not to do" as the tank role - because being a Paladin, is y'know, a calling, a vocation...

I'm a deliberate, conservative type; I'm never going to be the person you call on, for speed runs. My healer horror stories are all one kind: healers (and anyone else who can do ranged DD) who forget my maximum range on Shield Lob is 15 yalms; or who just don't CARE - and start firing off ranged attacks over my head before I can get to the mobs and gather them in.

Then I get to hear the ZING as all the enmity lines arc over my head, converging on the impatient damage-dealer, and watch as the mobs run right past me to get to their tasty treat. Then I have to go into flurry/panic mode flashy-flashy-flashy stabbity stabbity stab to get the mob back.

I have a routine for DF now; I start every (low-level, 4-person) run with the spiel "Everyone PLEASE don't do *anything* until you see me Shield Lob and Flash..."

I just recently carried a crazy group with my whm at titan hm. The thing is i always ran out of mp even shroud and elixirs just doesn't cut it esp with a freaking retarded bard that never ever cast ballad and she sucks real hard like dying 4 times (dun mention the other sch who sux at healing) . Oh my heart dropped to the floor and smashed into bits is the correct term to describe my desperation during the run

So I was in Titan HM

I'm a WHM and there's an SCH. The SCH lags so bad evading Weight of the Land is out of question, so by the heart phase, I'm alone. Couple that with a few other people getting bombed by the rocks and my MP is draining fast, even with frequent use of SoS.

And we have this BRD, yeah? Got Ifrit's bow on him. Remember that detail, it's gonna be important. So I was like, you know, the job is freaking named BARD. Not poet, not novelist, but BARD. And Bards SING. So I thought he'll do what bards do: sing.

Nope. Not even a single melody. Foe's Requiem? None. Army's Paeon? No. Mage's Ballad? You get the idea.

So at phase 5, I'm out of MP trying to keep everyone from dying from Tumult, and we wiped because I lost all of my MP.

So I said, "bard, please use Mage's Ballad", and he said "OK". He speaks English, that's for sure.

Still no Ballad. So I had to type to ask him to use it mid-battle in phase 5 during the 3 row bombs and the bombs exploded right before I press Enter.

So I literally BEGGED him to use Ballad. Seriously. Someone find the chat log. I pleaded him to use it, this is not a joke. When the healer has to beg the Bard to use Ballad, you know something's up.

And he said "OK..."


"...but only for phase 3"

You may have noticed that he said the words "only" and "phase 3" in the same phrase, and he doesn't say anything about phase 5. And even then he STILL won't use Ballad. I can't go on without Ballad, I'm the only healer around, and this is not a party with godlike internet connection, someone's bound to be hit by something.

In the end, the BLM of our party rage quits. Our tank screamed at his ears about Ballad and L2P, and he countered with a diamond:

"I never had to use Ballad in Titan"

And our tank countered with "Yeah, that's why you're stuck with Ifrit's bow and not Artemis. L2P and stop with the FATE academy".

The best part is the fact that he actually acted like he knows stuff. The SCH asked how to evade Weight of the Land, so the BRD said "Weight of the Land targets units with the highest enmity. You're healer, your enmity is high". You may have noticed that tanks actually have the highest enmity in Titan to keep him from table flipping the entire party, so at that point, I just ragequit too.



Seriously, someone do something about FATE academy, it's killing me, and the entire party

So, I have finally gotten on to the forums to post in this thread. I have a story that have been waiting since the beginning to be told for everyone's amusement.

First story is a Hydra story. This is back when almost the entire party was trying to kill it with pre-relics, so no one was geared. I was on my White Mage as well as the other healer. Our first few pulls were spent explaining to the tanks that they needed to stack and move together, and to avoid the healing debuff at all costs. Well, our next pull resulted in both tanks getting the debuff again, and then dodging in different directions. One tank goes down and we raise him, just in time for the other tank to go down. Hydra went ballistic and ate half the party before the tank recovered the boss. Instead of calling it a wipe, though, me and the other healer determinedly powered through it. (Thank goodness for a bard who popped ballad every chance they could). By the time we finally had everyone up, both tanks were on the brink of death and still clipping that heal debuff. At least they were polite enough to alternate who got the debuff ^_^. I don't know how the other healer and I managed to keep them up after that, but we actually managed to kill Hydra that pull. I think it was a combination of that bard and curing with reckless abandon as we lived from shroud to shroud spamming Cure II and III to try to keep our double weakness, debuffed tanks alive. Lots of fun.

Next stories are after I had switched to Scholar main to compliment my awesome White Mage co-healer.

First is actually a Wanderer's Palace run. A linkshell tank asked for a dps and healer, so my husband (Black Mage) and I joined. Everything was great, and then we got to the last boss. It was decided that since my husband was better geared he would stay on the boss while the other Black Mage would kill adds. Our tank pulls, and then dc's about two seconds later. At first we thought he was lagging, so my husband brought the boss to the middle of the room and continued to nuke hard as we waited for the tank. Meanwhile, the other Black Mage is killing adds with reckless abandon (remember that). By the time the tank returns, the boss is about 1/4 health left. And he never did recover the boss from my husband. I have to say, healing a Black Mage through Everybody's Grudge was interesting. Especially since I had been running with Selene and didn't have Eos's heal potency increase. Luckily he popped his cooldowns at the higher stacks (other Black Mage didn't even try to balance out the tonberry stacks so we had max stacks several times). That was stressful and fun. I was starting to live from aetherflow to aetherflow near the end as I constantly spammed heals and tried to buff and debuff the entire time.

Another story isn't that exciting. Just duty findered a HM Garuda group that didn't manage to kill the second sister once. Went through 8 phases of sisters without ever having the second one dead. Luckily everyone knew what they were doing. The dps was just a little weak.

And final story. Learning the snake in Turn 1. This is a healer awesome from my co-healer. We were trying to power through stacks with our tanks still learning when to pop cooldowns. Well, one tanks dies at six or so stacks. The snake merges with just a sliver of health left, but promptly munches the second tank. Everyone spreads out and nukes like crazy as we try to kill it. Our White Mage is left standing throws on an Aero as he tries to kite, but goes down. And then the boss dies from the Aero tick right after words and we get the message that we had cleared Turn 1. Now our joke for every wipe is that the healers have the responsibility to live and kill the boss to show everyone how it's done. :P

Lol. I certainly hope it is. I like the stories. But perhaps I'm biased. :P

Was running brayflox's, and yes, this is another tank story, the tank didn't use any threat mechanic. No flash, no provoke, no nothing. After the second pull we told him to use flash. He did, he did it a lot, especially when all the mobs ran away from him and ware graciously introducing my face to the dirt. On the surprising occasion when he did manage to hold them I blew all my mana on keeping him alive because he wouldn't use any cooldowns till the last mob in the pack was left standing.
Thou I did laugh quite a bit when he ran into the middle of 3 mobs and started spamming flash and failed to notice that they ware out of range

Running WP with an undergeared tank. Tank attempts to speed run. Dies on first group (running past beetles). Attempts again (made it through first 2 pulls with little MP and quite the struggle healing, tank wasn't keeping hate well and mobs were all over everyone). Make it through first boss with one DPS dying due to no one dodging AoE's (keep in mind, I am very experienced here and rarely have people wipe on WP). Tank continues speed run tactic after first boss and runs to door without using CD's. Tank dies, due to my heals not hitting fast enough. I get blamed. I leave.

I would have told him to stop attempting to speed run, but I was too distraught at how they attacked me. Worst experience.

Odin.

During Odin you're not so much a healer, but a raiser.
