Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

As I was leveling up BLM I never really had to many gripes with healers aside from a few bad ones during Titan story mode and HM, but it was mostly just bad tanks. After I got my relic +1 I decided to level up Arcanist for SCH. So I was running dungeons as a SCH leveling up and learning the job thinking this is a breeze then I get to AV. I had problems my first time running this as a BLM pulling extra monsters and blaming it on the other BLM there, but I thought this was goin to be cake.... Get to the first boss, Eos gets wiped out, tank is taking really heavy damage... dps is poisoned and losing health constantly, I get whipped by the boss and die. I say I'm sorry and we try 2 more times and just couldn't keep everyone healed enough. On the 3rd time I get whipped and die again..... Had to leave without a single word out of sheer embarrassment.

I kept saying in chat how Garuda is going to get bored and quit before we kill her.

I found that hilarious one time I saw it, I was OT on Garuda so I could watch, as it seemed healing was a little off, they were using Cure II when the tank was only missing 100-500 health... like wtf.... also a WHM who insisted on having medica II hots on everyone at all times.

Mh well talking about WP speedruns...my first DFing it was a speedrun, to my surprise cause I don't think they should be done in DF since not everybody likes them (got usedto it after) and I think the 3 were together. Anyway, since I had no idea on how you speedrun it I tried to keep up as I could, and I did some holy spam to help dps which evidently was a mistake because everybody - no not just the tank, aggro all over the table - was taking too much damage, and I was being bad too at Holy because I was taking loads of damage myself, so I stopped. In all this I got a snarky remark from summoner who asked me if I was able to heal while staying out of melee range. Ok lesson learned, just heal spam like crazy (yes, the damage kept being all over the table for the rest of the run). The cherry in this story is, in the end the summoner himself started fighting inside the melee and aoes.
Good thing I wanted tomes too much at that moment so I just stayed silent the whole run while being a grumpy old lady behind.

I helped a linkshell member with Baby Garuda... I noticed the party was 3 DDs and a tank. So I asked who is whm?

... I was. So I switched to Whm... and we wiped a lot. I haven't touch whm since 1.0. So I spamming cure IIIs, cause I have no idea what the hell I am doing.

Find out cure Is give free cure. But I can't maintain my MP and we wiped atleast like 10 times and finally won.

I hated myself so much.

Duty finder WP speed runs are nuts, tank doesn't say a word just runs off with all the mobs and your trying your hardest to keep them alive. There are plenty of shouts for speed runs join one of those, as a whm I find it hard to keep up with some of these tanks with my current gear. There just isn't enough mp in my bar for their suicidal rushes, you would think they could see that bar is empty I'm not a thm/blm that can pull massive MP outta my butt! It is like trying to fill holes in a dam with toothpicks, if there was a bleeding animation the tank would look like a fountain.

Don't feel bad...I think this is almost every sch experience with AV.

That happened to me once. I figured I'd just deal with it. Then we got to the pull after the second boss. The tank went ahead and pulled literally everything and then ran around the wall and LOS-ed me. I spammed all my lustrates and threw e4e on the tank but the tank went down so fast. By this point I was really annoyed because I hadn't signed up for a speed run when I DFed it so I just quit the run.

I laughed at this. I have that experience ALL the time haha.

I'm still a little nooblet, but thusfar it's been the end boss of TMT. Seems like DPS/Tank thinks I can tank the adds and heal everyone at the same time without going splat. 1 add maybe, 2 adds no.
