Toxic WHM Glare spammers

I know this situation is not new at all, but it is quite annoying and ruins the fun of the game.

Every time I see a WHM in my party, I expect that this player may not heal, instead there will be Glare/Stones spam. No regen, no bubble, no res, not the slightest effort. Sometimes just Cure I/II on 5-10% HP, or healing only themselves.

In 80% of cases, everything turns out to be exactly that toxic way, and either I have to heal the entire raid alone as a healer, losing a huge amount of mana. Or I have to think only about my own survival instead of wall-to-wall pulls and uptime playing as a tank or dps.

It's not a big problem if I'm playing PLD or WAR, but I'm not having fun at all, compensating for someone's laziness. The joke about green DPS is no longer funny. Cause I come to have fun and not to heal for them or try to survive while they are throwing stones.

Disclaimer: Not all WHM's behave this way. There are excellent players to whom I am very grateful, but due to subjective experience, I have met spammers of stones much more often.

I only have 2 keys bound as a WHM. One is indeed Glare and the other one is Rescue.. so u wanna tell me there are more keys I need? o_o

Aren't you bored of playing two buttons while someone heals instead of you?

Why don't you just turn affects for other players off?

I'll gladly take the WHMs you get over the lazy curebots I keep getting.

How this will help the situation when the healer does not heal?

I think I've met something like this a couple of times. Nothing good either.

Thanks for bringing this up. Healers using rescue to push the tank to grab more adds definintely needs to be addressed

For sure. Im alright with fun and games, and understand most of the party including myself are running dungeons to get the relic finished, but that one groups was really testing my limits. Trying to establish hate and get pushed to the next set of mobs while popping my aoe hate grabber, idk what they were thinking. Im normally okay with people grabbing by accident or even speeding things along a little bit cause usually i am capable of grabbing before something major happens, but it was obvious the group was in an inhuman level of impatience, and it got bad enough i stopped feeling bad when people had hate because they couldnt give me a chance to grab and establish.

I feel your pain. Cause it happened with me many times. Rescue/Cure I on 10%, pulling mobs and bosses as a first, and so on. My tank classes are geared pretty well, I know what and why I'm doing, but even in savage, I didn't get as much damage as from mobs in regular dungeons, because I was pulled from side to side and healer just didn't heal. It's good that I know how to play my favorite classes, but... If I wanted to play Survival, I would not play FF XIV.
