Big Damn Healer moments

Just getting out of a bad situation and getting the kill usually. Most of the party is dead and you start the process of raising people and keeping people alive then suddenly the whole group is back on it's feet and buffed and you can push to the finish line. It's a rush when people take huge damage and debuffs some die and you save who you can then pick up the rest. That's the fun of healing.

My favorite part about being a WHM is critting 6 procs of Cure III for 7k each. It's godly. <3

Spoiler, it usually doesn't....

But Lightspeed reduces your damage output. You could just Swiftcast Combust II because that's the only DoT with a cast time and then normal cast the others. Then pop Lightspeed for some instant cheap heals.

I'd have to say, lately, mine was in A3 when the other healer DC'd and I solo healed the last 40% of the encounter on my WHM.

Way back in the day when titan hm was the thing, we were doing a carry run and I was on my scholar, after the heart died our whm dies and so does the person we are carrying (no loss on that one) , so I res the whm at next available swiftcast, then the whm (who uses a wireless keyboard) keyboard dies while strafing from mechanics, runs right off the edge lol and i got to finish solo healing it for the 1st time.... lol even the guy we were carrying says "lol healer said f*** yall, im out" ... link to it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5MdwyuYcwA

Oh hey perfect thread for something that just happened earlier today!

Decided to help out some static members farm for a few items from Alex. We wind up in normal A2 and tank buddy pulls before double checking that everyone was in the boss room, which unfortunately was not the case since we had a new healer who was still back in the hallway watching a cutscene -- in my buddy's defence, the SMN was hollering at him to pull because Akh Morn or something was about to wear off. But what resulted was me solo healing the entire fight, which is actually something I do often enough since my healing partner usually does the gobwalker, but even so there was always that security blanket in knowing that if I were to ever muck up, my partner could always hop off and help out. So it was a really nice feeling when everyone in the group were wowed by what I did, especially when I zoned out and saw that I got all available commendations.

Kiting Alliances on my AST and living because PvP tunnel vision. Feels good being unkillable.

I know this is probably not a very spectacular story since it's only Titan normal, but as a newbie healer it felt pretty awesome as it was the most difficult thing I've done so far. ^^

I'm scholar, Tank goes off to the edge at about half way in, and as we proceed to 3-man the rest and not wipe, he goes "dayum!" Must also commend the two dps since they were very good at dodging stuff, which helped a lot.

And then the very next run I came in progress to a newbie tank who could not keep aggro to save his life, so Titan bouncing all over the place, everyone getting plenty of damage. One (more) wipe, the next try we had him down. It kinda felt cool to be the one to finish it when the previous healer had given up. ^^

My favourite healer moment recently was in A1. Critical Adloquium deployed on the party during the AoE attack and watching the entire party take 0 damage. (:

Kind of situational, but I guess even non crits with Sacred Soil give us amazing mitigation.

The time an cc member as paladin (60) and myself as scholar (56) two manned (unsynced) Garuda hard mode. It wasn't the hardest thing to heal, but the challenge of keeping us both alive while being forced to put in every onz of dps that I could was a lot of fun and made the fight very dynamic.

Also all of those times where the tank(s) die and you are left tanking the boss, raising the tank(s), and healing the dps who are actively walking into cleaves and aoe. A lot of dps are smart like that.
