True story

Last night did qarn leveling. All group leveling. Tank is clueless but we get to final boss after like 60 min. Final boss (we wiped on all) imhav to tell team what to do. Dps isn't grabbig adds so I do. I die. Next try they blame it on me and say since I'm fooling around its my fault. I'm fooling around cause were going horribly slow. This time I try to just heal and am mobbed but kill a couple adds on podiums. Third run I'm told to do nothing but heal even though adds are just murdering me because I'm healing too much. We had about 20 adds by the time they killed me, it was hilarious

Halatali HM run with randoms. Apparently I was a "terrible healer" because the BLM in the party got hit by one of the random traps early in the dungeon and lost like 1/4 health. I heal, while at the same time the Tank had been Paralyzed by one of the enemies. Couple seconds go by after healing the BLM, I proceed to top of the Tank and then Leeches to remove the paralysis.

The Tank flips out on me saying "You know, you could actually Leech me in a timely manner next time." Literally no more than two seconds go by where the tank is paralyzed.

But that wasn't all. I mean sure, I could, and arguably should have, Leeched the tank first and then topped them off. Well, then the BLM chimed. "You are a terrible healer. I have healed in MMOs for over ten years, and you are the worst I have ever had to run with."

At this point I'm scratching my head, and more than a bit upset because I had had a long day at work and came home to enjoy the game, not to listen to stupid people. I give the BLM some not so kind words, and say that perhaps next time I'll let them die and only concentrate on healing the tank ever. BLM scoffs and we move on to the first boss of Halatali. But before the pull begins my screen goes black and I get a message saying I had been kicked from the instance and party.

That sucks tsurayu but eh it's life as a healer if something anything goes wrong in any dun it's the healers fault even if it's the tank standing in aoes or pulling to much it's our fault cuz we are suppose to heal them thru the screw ups lol and do it without taking hate pft the things healers gotta go thru and honestly people wonder why for the most part healer roles are under populated gee lol

Lately every Brayflox HM can turn into a healing horror story. I have never had problems with speed runs but after the first boss if tank pulls all the illuminati gliders of the area, chances are that they will start attacking me interrupting my healing or instant killing me and the little self esteem I had treasured untill that moment.

I'm full AF ilvl90 so higher than the lvl required. I don't think i'm pulling aggro but in this case i'm really clueless as to what I should/shouldn't do.

Gliders attack randomly and don't follow the enmity table as far as I know, they just pick someone and make them miserable. I typically ds then swiftcast medica 2 there and it helps a bit.

When you get disconnected (90k) during what seemed to be a T8 kill.

mine is a pretty recent one. had gone into trail roulette as sch to finish getting tomes. 10 min later i end up exactly where i thought i would be; titan hm. the last few times i had titan, the groups were great. this time, not so much. we had some new people, so i expected deaths to happen. i didnt expect the slightly more geared whm to die 3 times, pretty much forcing me to solo heal the fight.
