I've seen them do it. Not sure why, I'm the kind that nearly constantly is refreshing buffs at every boss myself lol.

Saw a pretty new sch in CT, the first one, earlier this week. Kept saying to my fc members, "Why the heck are they constantly casting Whispering Wind, especially when everyone is at full health?" Got a good laugh at that. Inexperienced healers do weird things sometimes, to compensate for messing up and stuff I've found lol.

If they dead due to running like that, I will point them to Edda cutscene on wiki/net where Avere dead due to his own (although sadly Edda take the beating there). A bit funny when SE had been hinted this long before this problem arise.

Had this happen with a tank in my WoD alliance recently. He insisted on main tanking but kept getting hit with aoe and debuffs, making it tough to heal him. Finally ended up letting him die on the last boss so that one of the other tanks could take over, he was that tough to heal. I don't do that very often tho.

I don't descriminate tho, first person I let die like that was in XI, and they were a whm. I was on red mage at the time, and used to main healing on rdm. The whm refused to put SS up on himself and kept taking aggro, making me rush to heal him. His excuse, "SS is a waste of mp." (SS was way more important and vital in XI) So I stopped wasting my mp on healing him, he died, and I took over main healing. The tank at the time couldn't stop laughing at what I did and we became good friends. =)

If you aren't patient enough to wait 10 seconds for Protes + SS, you probably shouldn't play a MMORPG. However, I've met quite a few healers who are too lazy to precast Adlo/SS before a pull.

Yeah. Sometimes I'll sir and start preparing casting over a few times till the barrier pops and I'll let it finish. Lol.

I just swiftcast protect in combat if the tank just goes gung ho and engages.
No big deal lol thats y we have swiftcast.
Also if u have the habit of "save swiftcast only for raises" then idk maybe u should take a moment and think about why using swiftcast with other abilities work.

As long as they don't moan for my weak SCH Protect after the fact when it inevitably misses them, I don't care all that much. What I do care about however is tanks pulling when there's 3 seconds remaining on Adlo. DUDE, IT'S NOT A COUNTDOWN OK.

This is gonna sound dumb, but if i level up scholar can i get both Adlo and Succor on my WHM?

No. First off only certain abilities are cross-class. You can cross-class Surecast, Blizzard II and Swiftcast from THM, and/or Ruin, Physick, Virus and Eye for an Eye from ACN. Second, as you may have noticed, I used THM and ACN, and not BLM and SCH. That's because you can only cross-class class abilities, not job abilities.

I WHM and my SSII/Prot macro is:
/ac Stoneskin II <wait.1>
/ac Protect <t>
/wait 5 (or 4 or 6, whatever Prot wait time is, I'm at work lol)
/ac Protect <mo>
/ac Protect <t>

When I get into anything I spam my macro until it goes off. If they run away, that's on them.
