Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

Here is a new one to add into the Hall of Shame.

Got a Warrior at Sohm Al (he was synced down from 60) who kept doing massive pulls with two Ninjas who simply don't have the DPS to burn them down fast enough, but to add insult to injury, the Warrior:

A) Does NOT use Vengeance
B) Does NOT use Bloodbath
C) Uses Foresight less frequent than its cooldown suggests
D) Possibly did not use abilities on the Maim side of combos
E) No Steel Cyclone to assist in AOE damage (although it won't help much, you'll see why) and uses most of his V stacks on Inner Beast or Unchained at random times
F) No Mercy Stroke used either, now that I think of it
G) Gets the idea that Convalescence buffs Thrill of Battle

I wasn't surprised to see him completely invested in VIT accessories if he plays like that.

I would have been equally non-surprised to see him completely invested in STR accessories, for that matter, since the bad STR tanks I've seen tend to go "good tanks don't need to use cooldowns, it's the healer's job to keep me alive". *shrugs*

[QUOTE=Fevelle;3423145 (and I really hate being paired with other WHMs because we end up using Tetra and Bene on the same target and same time, since it's hard to know how your co-healer plays on DF. That's one of the reasons I try to queue with my SCH friend for every 2-healer content in the game.[/QUOTE]

I'm glad I'm not the only WHM main who feels like this. Most of my healing horror stories are because of the other WHM healer. I have so many, but they're all basically the same thing: they spam medica I and medica II and don't use sos or asisze, depleting their mana before boss is down to 50%.

I just prefer to handle all healing duties. Other healer can DPS for as long as they want. AKA, I don't trust other healers. In diadem I was in a party with a co-healer the first time. It was ok, but I still was the "dominant" healer, like I want to be.

Guess not really a horror story but in the new dungeons I got kicked for not healing fast enough. No one died and it was mainly because I was dealing damage.

Tank complained about having to use cooldownd then I got kicked after the second boss.

That says it all.

had a whm in diadem, stayed in cleric stance the whole time, didnt heal whatsoever, didnt help me revive, party wiped once on normal mobs cause of them, then wiped on a star rank for the same reason cause the whm wouldn't help heal or even revive

Diadem (especially Dino island) is a pain for every healer playing on console. Due to overlag, it feels like you are fighting multiple Odins all at once. Quite often you can't see, let alone target, someone supposedly right in front of you. And when LoS is broken with rocks... even worse.

That LoS is a total pain. Only healed it once so far but I ended up getting frustrated because so much stuff is happening people run all over and I'm constantly missing heals because of rocks in the way. It's also annoying when you are fighting the star level monsters and stuff just keeps spawning on top of you. They have some big attacks and you constantly need to heal and cleanse but you end up with low fps or stuff attacking you from all sides because of so many spawns and players in the area.

I had the most delightful tank in A2 today.
Tanking wise there was no problem really I think, but when we arrived to the boss room the Tank ran straight into the room and started the fight...
..With half the party still outside, FAR away from the boss entrence.
Best part was that they didn't even notice that most of our DPS:es were outside the boss room, when they noticed that our single DPS wasn't killing the mob fast enough they just told the DPS:es to 'Step it up lol'.

I outright stopped healing them after that since there was no way we would be able to make it with one Bard.
After the wipe they honestly couldn't understand HOW everyone could not be ready after the trash mob before the boss room and simply left the party.

I honestly really hate it when tanks just rushes into a boss room without getting buffed and especially when they don't check to see if everyone is nearby.
Mistakes can happen of course but that Tank honestly didn't care.
