Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

24 man raid... noob tanks not picking up adds... I had to tank them all and constantly healing myself. Can't stop the threats train now...

Another story, warrior and paladin think they are pure melee dps class. Coming from MOBA, Skyrim like experiences... They didn't know they are tank class.... *cough* meatshield.

Lately I keep getting people who seem to be oblivious to the Wolfsbane adds during the Cerbus fight. Of course, I'm the prime target of aggro for these things.

This one time, in WoD, where the alliances somehow thought that the best MT for last boss was the tank who had two scholars on his team.... Instead of, you know, one of the two tanks who had WHM Protect on.

Yeah ^^; I remember one time back when I was still in below i90 gear and was running WP... Got to the end of one of the long rushes where you get a stalker chasing you halfway through, and we didn't manage to kill all the mobs and open the door before it showed up to kill us. And Eos, heroine that she is, stepped in and tanked the stalker while we killed the mobs and escaped. Needless to say, she got my commendation for that run :p (We were fully pre-formed, btw.)

Anytime I see 4 NINs in anything........

Pfft. If that posed any difficulty at all, it's because either the tank or the SCHs were bad. Should have been easy street with 2 SCHs and their accompanying healing zoo.

Other healer refuses to stack regens with me in Levi ex >>

I die because the linked water orbs attach to me and explode after the other healer falls off the boat. OT: "think you can do a better job of keeping me alive?" *throws self out window.

Should have been; wasn't. Not sure about his gear or anything, but I did notice he lost about 2/3 to 3/4 of his life with each it ;_; He did survive and all, but I'm suspecting he had help from more than his own healers -- I noticed more than one regen on him now and then.

mt should always have 1 regen for every whm alive
no excuse not to

So, not really as much a "horror" story as a "WTF" story. Running ST for the weekly (why do I still subject myself to this torture?), and I end up in a group with 3 NINs, a BLM, and a Bard. Hilariously enough, the BARD ends up eating the most avoidable damage for some odd reason, and standing waaaaayyyy off in his own spot so that I can't reach him to heal his ass.
