Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

Oh yeah I remember the first time I ran WP speed run I was around 3100-3200. Mostly DL, had Garudas Wand. And i'm castin glike a mad MOFO and just couldn't keep up. Relic+1 helped significantly though.

My worst experience to date as a healer would be in the Sunken Temple. We got to the last boss, with some difficulty but we managed. When the heads spawn, they came straight across the room, past the tank, past the dps, and after me. And proceeded to beat on me for the next couple minutes while I try to keep both myself and the tank alive. We wiped. And we wiped again. And again. Until the tank quit and we ran out of time. And the second run, they inevitably came after me, past everyone again. We wiped over and over because the DPS just didn't understand not to kill them until I placed them on the platforms, or they just ignored them completely while they beat on me. My third time in people finally it right.

Are most tanks really this bad... Reading these stories hurt my head :(

When you think about it for every bad tank that exists there's probably a bad healer and 2 bad DPS. How's your head now? :p

Tanker - Paladin stone = Boss trampling everybody (in stone vigil)


"is it required?" he says


I kind of wish it were. :\

im(SCH) healing in Ultima Bane with 1 roughly ilvl55~60 WHM, i am ilvl80 at the time, when i see undergear healer,im thinking "im gonna heal hard this time", and yes i have to heal hard..not really a problem tough..the problems come when after 2nd UFO explosion, 3 DPS dead...and while healing and my attempt to rez 1 of dps so we can kill ultima fast, 1 of tank is in low health, so i quickly run to tank trying to save him, but im too late, he died..so there is 3 dps dead and 1 tank, so i rez tank 1st..then 1st dps, 2nd dps and the last dps..the last dps i managed to rez just before ultima is casting 3,2,1..and all alive but we still dead coz cannot defeat ultima when time run out.
the prob is,the whm NEVER EVER rez any of dead bodies! she also dead..twice,i asked her.."do u have swiftcast?", she said...what class can i get it from :0
i really dont care if she dont have swiftcast..but please,rez people.u r WHM for the god sake..only both of us at the time have rez power

Dunno if this will help you at all, but from my personal latency-driven experience: the only way I have any hope to dodge aoe (dragonbreath in Brayflox, icebreath in Stone Vigil, Chimera tank-targeted aoes in Cutters' Cry, Landslide on Titan etc.) is to predict. It's not about reacting to it, but predicting it and being on the move when it's just showing up. I can't trust my screen with aoes, I just have to know when they're about to come and ready myself. :s

Last night, I finally decided to do Aurum Vale for GC and AK access. My FC was already in the middle of their scheduled runs, so I decided to just hit up the Doodie Finder. I'm not surprised by a 30min que because I heard this one's a nightmare for some people. It took me 3 runs to complete.

Group#1: Tank decides to pull all the mobs in the 1st room and stands in acid. 3wipes before room is cleared. 1 wipe on 1st boss due to poison stacks and neglecting the fruits. 3 wipes on 2nd boss due to no aoe-dodging and I'm OOM from multiple rezzes. Tank ragequits because "dps wasn't high enough."

Group#2: Smooth run. One death on 2nd boss because BLM tried to get a spell off before dodging that Optic Blast. Get to last boss with 50min left. Last boss is at around 10%HP. 90K Error and lockout.

Group#3: FC group established. Mission accomplished.

I did a Wanderer's Palace run through the duty roulette recently.
A few mobs in I notice the tank has on Sword Oath and Selene and one of our dps tends to be tanking 2 out of the 3 mobs in the group. After the first boss I politely ask the tank if he could put on Shield oath, at least for the groups.. "OK. Sure" he says after which NOTHING happens.
We manage to get through the instance ok, Selene/Eos and dps tanking. On the LAST boss the tank decides to put on Shield Oath.... great plan
