Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

mostly ilvl90 warri who didn't care about stacks at all and really tried to explain me that keeping aggro by spamming 8 overpowers is all a warri is supposed to do, no matter how many mobs he pulls. well long story short: told him that he only receives heal if he got his 5 stacks up and we raged at each other until he left. lucky us,it didn't even take 2 minutes till we got a trash geared (ilvl 55) warri who actually knew how to play his class and was easier to heal then the ilvl90 trash tank. guess it really is one horrible design choice to give ppl high level gear even though they have no clue how to play their classes :-/

Last Friday, I decided to give DF a whirl for a WP run. I read the previous stories about the DF horrors and wondered if it really is THAT bad. Anyway, I hit the "Commence"button, the party loads; it's me (SCH), a PLD in full AF, and 2 MNKs in full AF. They all admit this is their first run, and I'm cool with it. I've healed the dungeon about 3 or 4 times with better-geared players, so I somewhat know what to expect. Then, as I'm casting party buffs, THIS happened..

Tank: Well, I just watched a video on how to do a Speed Run. Looks pretty easy.

In my head, I'm going, "Oh shit... here we go..." as I watch the 3 of them charge off into the sunset.

Oh my...how did that end?*_* Sounds like a creepy horror story lol
Also, love your signature!


Oh also a new one. The other did WP with premade, comes out one of the dps is a new 50 and has only run it once. Ok no problem, we explain everything. We get at King. He asks if the other dps is gonna do the adds, since in the other experience he wasn't the one doing them. The other dps answers that no, that HE should be the one doing them and explains all the reasons in detail. We start the fight, nobody is killing adds, so we keep writing hi to kill adds but absolutely nothing, and he finally wakes up is too late and we wipe. At our complaints he says he was thought it wasn't his task, and then turns out he didn't read all the explaination and all because the LS chat was scrolling too fast so he couldn't pay attention to party chat....:/

When I tank for WP, I would always ask when type of the run the healer wanna do.

RR - Regular Run----one group of mobs each pull
SSR -Semi Speed Run ----2 groups mobs each pull
SR - Speed run -----2 pulls before 1st boss, 2 pulls before 2nd boss, 1 pull before 3rd boss

Boy do I have one. Alright, so last night I jump into an Ifrit Hard Mode run, because why not? The party lacked a BLM or SMN, so the DPS had to be on top of the nails when that phase came. Said Phase came and well...everyone but me and one of the tanks died. Now you may be thinking: Man this sounds horrible...and it was at first, but instead of just resigning myself to dying and starting over, Me and Eos kept the tank alive long enough for me to get the other healer up (I ran away from Ifrit a bit so he wouldn't hit me with the push back move). Slowly the other healer and I got everyone else up with the bard pulling off a LB3 to get our remaining members up. It was a hell of a run and I felt like a hero afterwards.

I joined a group that wanted to run 3 healers for titan (all for healing).
I just left. I've done triple healer once before and honestly it drags titan on forever. I wouldn't put my self through that again.

I wish more tanks were like you. ;~; I've met too many tanks who assume that I'm ok with a speed run because I have a few i90 pieces and +1 relic. My gear does not indicate my willingness to speed run anything.

Just yesterday, I dropped the gamepad twice during a Titan run and when I did get ahold of it, did a cross hotbar roulette, then proceeded to Swiftcast and Benediction myself instead of the tank.

It was bad.

Way back in my first WP run as healer I went through the duty finder and I had full AF and market board equips. Tank in mostly darklight (probably had relic and maybe an AF2 piece) says "speedrun" and runs off before I get protect off. I had never cured so much in my entire FFXIV experience before that point.

Luckily though, after the second boss the tank was cool enough to slow down and complimented me about how well I was healing with my poor equipment up to that point compared to other better geared players (only one wipe). Bard saved us with mage ballad since I had to spam cure 2 the entire time.
