Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

Marauder in my first ever Stone Vigil, who didn't know they could become a Warrior. The guy had 2.1k HP. Somehow we managed to clear the place with five minutes on the clock. It was a very... interesting run, to say the least.

Ive had the same issues in Bray Fox. Tank cant get out of the major hits, then bitches at you because you're oom from having to heal him from 20% health every few seconds.

Also Ifrit HM and people not dodging stuff or practically solo healing with without bard giving you mana song.

A few types of tanks that ruin every dungeon:

1. My first run of Qarn was with a tank that rushed at every enemy group while my mp was still at 20%. No matter how many times I said 'Take it easy, tank', the dude just rushed straight into everything. We arrived at the 2nd boss, the tank got himself killed and called me out extremely harsh on it, then left.
2. My 3rd run at Vergil's got me a tank that didn't spread agro. He just went straight for enemy A and while I was running from the other flying dragons. He got mad. Then he ragequitted.
3. Today, I was playing Dzamael for the first time. The tank didn't wait for my prt/stskn to be finished. Just rushed off. Everybody told him to slow down. Never even got to the 1st boss because we got wiped twice at the 4th mob group. Then I just left.

Honestly, I think it works better in a new team to cheer everybody on then to tell them they need to get cancer and die. that's wat tank #1 said at Qarn anyway. Never been to Qarn since.

I have a story about this WHM that is really making he hate WHM's, among other WHM's.... but I rather just leave it alone. Could easily have been a SCH, but this guy....... man First fight with a boss he spent the time /cheer ing, and then got hit by a frontal cone and insta died. Thats the last time I don't enter that dungeon as healer.. Had to ragequit that one :(

It does happen.
Best way to tell if it's a bad tank, or you're over healing, is to run with the adds to the tank and give him the chance to pull them off you.

Well best way to tell if it is a bad healer they overheal, get aggro, oom and then the party dies.

But seriously, you SHOULDN'T Overheal at all, waste of time and mana, and if the tank didnt grab steady aggro on the mob you will get aggro. Heals Generate a generous amount of hate and as a fellow healer you should know about that.

I was like.... WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!?!?!
I think the transition from easy healing and endless MP to hardcore MP management skills required was way too sudden - gave me a fright there and sadly we wiped thanks to me.
I learned my lesson after. :P

You can run out of mana? o.O
Haha cool story bro :D

Random queue for dungeon
-Got in, the whole run went smooth in brayflox
-Finally at last boss, Explain tacts and so on.
-Tank Eats every freaking frontal breath x4 stack,(but he manage to kite the boss out from the pool atleast, well more or less)
-Tank dies, Bard gets aggro, bard starts to kite the boss in every single pool of poison while i ress tank, i shout at archer not to kite and just stay out of the pools and tank the boss i can keep him up while ressing the tank if he not get hit by the aoe.
-Repeat the whole senarium for 10 min, and im about to go oom as schoolar, when i decide to give it up call it a whipe, (boss got full hp again)....

Start over, and it goes on for 5 tries, they doing the same freaking mistake the whole time. and after the sixth try we finally made it. o.O That was a horrible day, but I can say i really went full out and i finally knew that Schoolar healer is OP and cant go oom! :D

Got one from today. Was doing Titan for the first time, knew nothing about the fight, so we wipe a bunch. Tank only yells at me about it. At first, it was justified. The out-of-arena AOEs hit me a bunch then. But even when I was avoiding them like a champ, I was still the only person getting yelled at, even though one DPS was using zero skills (bard), got hit by AOEs every time, and usually died first. Eventually, I did a painfully dumb screw-up with my heals, so the tank went down and I left after we wiped.

Maybe I would've focused better if I didn't have a tank blaming me constantly - including for an AOE that killed me and the other DPS when he was trying to save me (it appeared exactly when the rock tomb thing broke, there was literally no way to avoid it at that point) - but I will admit that I have a pretty nasty cold so I really shouldn't have been doing a primal run at all. I sure learned my lesson there. At least now I know how to run it for next time.

... I think I went into Satasha a week ago with an almost similar experience. >.>; Although the glad tank was wearing his armor. But he never used flash and seemed to think he was a DPS.

I'm still trying to forget that experience. He wouldn't by any chance have a name referencing some blonde spiky haired kid now, would he? Because we might have just run into the same person.
