Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

I believe my horror stories will be summed up with the next sentence, I don't get how this game has so many of these, but I am sure many of you will know what I mean.

STONNER TANKS.

In a party tonight with a SMN who insisted that "it is a waste of MP to not spread dots" on trash mobs. Tank labeled every single trash pack with kill order numbers and the BLM in party had no problem killing mobs in order. But the SMN, on every single trash pull, spread his dots and pull the slept mobs. I let him die a few times and eventually he just stopped DPSing on the trash lol. Mentioned his name in FC and several people chimed in saying they had already blisted him.

l2dot bro.

I've been doing a lot of Ifrit runs lately (No cane in 30+ runs!) and my worst horror story is a tossup between these two.

First one wasn't even too bad. We never wiped, but the other WHM kept dying to plumes and ended up staying out a third of the duty, and the tank seemed to be a bit new and was stunning plumes and getting resists. No problems with the DPSs and I'm able to soloheal the MT as they finally got the idea. The WHM kept dropping every time I res'd him, so I let him be. All's going well, when suddenly I'm being cursed at by a DPS telling me I should be kicked. What? The tank isn't even close to being dead. Ifrit has less than 10% HP left. LB3 is full and can down Ifrit anytime. Only thing wrong is the WHM, and he's at ~30% HP after being raised for the 4th time. After we downed Ifrit, I was finally able to ask what was up, and I was met with golden phrases such as "the other healer solohealed," "you suck, good job [otherhealer]," and "learn to heal." I would have ragequit had we not just finished.

(Cont.)
Second one was a smooth run initially, but very, very slow. When the LB3 filled, Ifrit was still at 80% health, but I didn't think much of it until we reached the spikes. The summoner LB3'd, but the spikes were BARELY TOUCHED. We wiped. Turns out the summoner was decked out in AF gear but with a level 38 white weapon. I honestly don't know how he got through AK.

This 1000 character limit sucks. Really had to make my stories pithy.

If done correctly, SMN can spread dots then BLM can mass sleep. All tank needs to do is flash a few times to keep hate on the slept, but hell if he doesn't atleast the mobs will run to the SMN after waking instead of the WHM.

My horror story past lvl 40 seems to deal with the auto face feature during movement heavy fights. Nothing like running out of ae while casting regen on a slow poke just to auto face right back into the circle of derp.

Character Configuration > Control Settings > Movement Settings Legacy Type, it will change your life, takes a little bit time to get used to it but so much better than Standad option

Auto face is a stupid option for healers so not needed XD. It makes the Demon Wall incredibly frustrating.

Well this was also in AK where 75% of the trash cannot be slept.
