Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

On heals I keep getting ST runs where the melee DPS eat all of the AoEs or fight the bosses from the same direction as the main tank and take cleaves to the face. Between that and being stuck on Alliance A where A stands for "a lot of time spent frozen," I try to run ST as few times as possible.

I'm a 49 SCH.

In haukke manor with a 28 ARC, 30 MRD, and 30 PUG. Yes, they are not WAR or MNK. MRD is hovering at 1000 hp with level 15-20 gear and PUG has level 15 white gear. ARC was properly equipped. MRD cant hold aggro when I try to dps and heal so I stick to healing. Throughout the run we wipe a few times of the big pulls, no biggie because of gear problems. We get to the last boss and the ARC and I don't bother ressing when the PUG and MRD die in a few seconds and we solo the last boss. Awesome sauce. 3 commendations lol.

Here's another.. Just hit 50, and have enough items from getting other classes to 50 to make my SCH i72.

Enter tam Tara HM. Tank is pulling 7-10 mobs at once, and my meager heals are barely enough to keep up with the outcoming damage. We wipe a few times on giant pulls. I let the tank know my ilevel is low please keep it at 2 groups if he wants to have bigger pulls. We clear both bosses easily. Enter last boss. Tank doesn't help the 2 dps with the grooms and we end up wiping at 2%. The tank says a bunch of bad words and leaves. A lower ilevel tank comes in and we clear the last boss with ease. :) 3 commendations.

I did normal Tam Tara as a WHM last night.
The tank starts off by blasting out of the starting line before i even get a chance to cast Protect. One cure pulls mobs off him, and the bard does most of the tanking.

When it gets to the portions with Void Soulcounter, the bard has to run around and kite the guy, while I fire off a cure to make sure that they weren't two shot. Then we get to a portion where there is a narrow passageway. The tank goes crazy and dashes down the path to the next orb, pulling every damn thing with him. At this point, the party gets split up, because everyone was being attacked by something. So here I am, running up and down this path trying to heal everyone without getting blocked by LoS

The last boss was no better. I think the bard may have taken aggro again, but I was too busy trying to keep myself and everyone else alive while our tank flopped on the sidelines. It was probably the most interesting run I've had of Tam Tara in a while....lol

So I was in a ST run and you know how if you stand in a puddle and another frozen orb freezes in the puddle, everyone freezes? So I was solo healing cuz other healer dc'd in my Alliance and everyone was in the puddle for some odd reason.... dps got the orb and didn't move and literally all dps frozed.... me and the tank were like Wtf guys and it was pretty hard keeping tank a live and their dumb assess.

This isn't a horror story, just a strange thing that happened while I was healing during my Daily Roulette (Normal) in Copperbell. So nothing really bad happened but... Copperbell is incedibly easy to heal. Like.. Holy crap. Especially if you have a level 45+ tank that's been synced down. Well I was primarily Cleric Stancing the dungeon, and dancing out of it to throw a Cure ever so often so the tank wouldn't die. They had like.. 712HP and my Cure healed 200HP-210HP so I would throw a heal out if they dropped to like 400HP-500Hp. Well I notice that one of the two Arcanist was casting Physick when the tank would drop to about 600HP... I asked them politely to stop since I just thought it was a waste of time to heal a tank that wasn't going to die any time soon and we could just DPS our way through the battles easily. They told me to "heal my friend faster then." I told them that 400HP on a tank with 712HP in Copperbell (Normal) isn't a bad amount for them to drop to before I heal them. They replied with "Fair enough" and never healed again.

The really weird thing? I got all three Commendations. o_o I mean... I did do pretty good at Stance Dancing in the dungeon, but.. It was just weird. I don't know. xD

I just came out of a horror story... it seems very familiar to recent stories... ("esuna?")

Wasn't healing this time, but, was on a secondary char (BRD). Did a low level DF into Haukke. The tank silently started running all over, not knowing where to go. The BLM and I figure 'hey, must be first timer, gotta start somewhere'. He wasn't keeping hate, the WHM kept pulling just healing him once or twice and he wasn't grabbing the full mobs - only going after one at a time with an occasional flash. We attempted explaining things to this silent tank running around trying every locked door like a new player. Then he levels. Lvl 43. The BLM and I were.. I've no word for it. Looked at his gear.. Level 40ish gear. Wat?
Topping it off, he spams LB -every- time it fills. Tank LB. Everywhere. All the time. And never a word spoken.
Killed last boss and he ran out, leaving the three of us in a daze of "what were you on??".

I don't know how we didn't wipe. I feel for you, WHM, I feel for you.

And I almost forgot to mention, thanks to the letter count..... he was a gladiator. No Soul Stone equipped. Hence the assumption of newbie.... a 43 gladiator that never ran Haukke Manor. *Headdesk*

This sounds dead familiar to me since i did run 2 instance with such a tank as WHM. Always spams tank lb and no words spoken, at all. Oh, and every times he died he returned before i had a chance to raise. It was however not yesterday though. The 1st time was ok, the 2nd I met him again through duty finder, the party tried every possible moment to kicked him at about 2/3 of the run. Success at last.

I just wondered how such player exists -.-

Was the name something along the lines of "Mister Killer"?
I guess we're lucky - our derptank waited around for his raise (though, I wish he didn't..... apparently bards (me) tank the manor jester better than he did...).... maybe I should say "Unluckily, our derptank waited around for his raise"...
