Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

Was doing A3 normal last night.

My co-healer died easily 10 times and I raised them each time (I honestly should have stopped after the 3rd time). DPS and OT were not spreading for + and - teathers so I was getting the debuff every time I got targeted. Got LB3 (why doesn't LB3 fill my MP bar as well? It's bad enough that I have to re-protect everyone and the dang thing can't even give me full MP!) and used it, but by then the other healer had went AFK so I was solo healing anyway. I begged the Bard for a Ballad repeatedly and got nothing.

We wiped when I no longer had the MP to keep myself and the MT alive. Bard was just kinda like, "You shouldn't be solo healing if you can't control your MP." ASDFGHJKL;'\

2nd time my co-healer still died a lot. But we managed to clear it. I rolled a 99 on my loot and got 7 commendations.

Never again. QwQ

just finished an a2 df run, healers were fine, dps were fine, 1 tank was fine but this pld omfg after 3 times of being told to tank south mobs still doesn't and healers get wacked by jagd dolls, then second time we get overrun by mobs, and this pld tells healers to watch their aggro, wat. so after he died and not tanking or holding aggro properly i just let him stay on the ground till the end when i revived him after it was over

I wasn't the one healing in this scenario, but I had an AST with i29 accessories and a mix of i55 and ironworks stuff with an NQ i115 weapon in Dusk Vigil yesterday. Lol
The first boss ripped us up and our bard had to kite to finish it off.

We nearly died to the 2nd boss too.

Thankfully the last boss in DV is rather slow paced with low damage output; we defeated it with no real issue.

Honestly, the guy wasn't mechanically bad, but his gear definitely made me scratch my head.

I don't really have healing horror stories any more, I find healing as an Astrologian is so effortless and natural. The closest I came to a horror story was the other day in fractal when a lalafail tank did nothing but run ahead from the group and got himself killed. Why do some tanks have to be so impatient.

Not really a horror story, but this week it feels like I've been stuck with a lot of unreliable co-healers, to the point I can't take my focus off constant healing for two seconds or it all goes to hell.

Once in particular on the Chrysalis - I took my attention off the tank during the last stage for a few seconds to do a manual raise because I'd already used SC, a few DPS were down and the other healer didn't seem aware she could also raise, and in that time she managed to let both the main tank and herself die.

On Shiva, I started Holying the Ice Soldiers because damage was a bit low and it makes things go a lot quicker. My health was gradually going down to <2000, but because the enemies were nearly dead, and my co-healer had no one else to heal, I figured I'd be okay and she'd probably cover me. Nope! KO.

The rest of the time, it's either been a case of permadead co-healer or, when I pull back a bit and watch how they react, half the party is still walking around with half HP while they cast ruin on the boss. @_@ Even had a would-be DPS WHM on Titan HM today who was trying to fling Stones on the boss while DPS were getting blasted by WoLs.

I don't know what it is about this past week, but even A1 and A2 normal runs have been painful. Co-healers who are Sic SCHs, DRKs who decide to drop Grit seemingly at random, regardless of what kind of damage is incoming, DPS who can't kill anything in a reasonable amount of time on their own, and a lot of hypocritical bitching.

Not sure why I'm bothering with this crap anymore; it's not really worth it just for alt Jobs.

I had a tank in lv 50 dungeon with ilv 19 ring and rest of his gear was ilv19~55, go figure @_@;

Healer horror-comedy:

DF Ifrit HM, both tanks were pretty fresh 50s so knowing i will probably grab hate at some point, i prolonged casting anything. After the first charge almost the whole party was at half hp-ish so here goes medica 2, instantly gets hate from ifrit, cast shroud, hate goes back to tank, regen tank, ppl take dmg... and i don't even know how but eventually ifrit down to 50% ish hp and everyone is dead except me and one tanks with me kiting ifrit.

So... I'm kiting, raise sch, kite, raise other tank, kite, sch dies, kite, raise sch again, kite, raise monk, kite, sch dies, kite and gives up on sch, raise other DDs, kite, some other DDs die again, kite, and this goes on for 15 min until i got interrupted on a cure2 and dies and we finally wiped...

Then i asked PLD, why didn't you provoke???

PLD answered, I thought you were fooling around :D

#*(^@#Q%#$@) :mad:

All day yesterday:

Farming Sohm Al for experience and woad set, with 1/5 runs starting with a wipe as tank proceeds to double / triple pull before saying "Hello!". Its ok, I;m used to it though it irks me, manners cost nothing.

Anyway, so the tank is dying, and i'm throwing everything I have at them, aspected benefic, synastry, essential dignity, benefic II procs, lightspeed stoneskin/benefic 2, bole (them), arrow (me) everything, everything! and splat!, dead tank! so now i'm being raged at and told to heal, l2p etc and i'm getting more and more agitated.

3rd time of the day it happens and i've had enough, and i get verbal back! aaaand just as i finish retaliating and feeling satisfied with my argument.... i realised diurnal sect was not activated, despite it being on at the beginning of the dungeon. It dawned on me.... the buff removes itself at the start of a new dungeon, and it is most likely the reason the tanks were dying.

The shame.

Tank overpulling when I was fresh iLV145 at Neverreap. And blaming me for dying. Good thing both DPS proceeded to take my side and bashed the tank back.
