Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

Okay here is a non-tank story!

I cast Cure II on a DPS. The animation finished, the sound pinged, I was ready to cast my next spell, but for some reason, it didn't go through. I watched the HP number only go straight down, never up, and the DPS died.

Seems like some bizarre lag issue? When I finally went "...um I'm really sorry I could have sworn that went through on time" the DPS agreed. It was horrifying to me at least because it looked like I just #$^%ed up.

it happen when the dmg the target take + your healing is less than the dmg deal by mobs/boss, in those case if you are a WHM, use some kind of fast cast skill and throw SS on the target and cure em if you dont have benediction, and if you are SCH, just swiftcast + the SCH skill with 300 healing and 1/2 of healing become shield and bla bla bla (dont remember name) and then physick

I was playing Tam-Tara just to get a feel for playing Scholar. Tank's fine, pugilist is fine, but this lancer... He wouldn't follow the tank's target, he'd run ahead and pull groups, and just all kinds of things you'd usually chalk up to being new at the game, so mostly excusable. But we finally have to stop and tell him off, and his response: "You idiots, I'm being the off-tank."

Needless to say, I focused my heals on the "main" tank from then on

Hahaha i have my share of horror story, from DPS not knowing where to go, to the All-Mighty one who aggro all for the fun (yes that was his reason : FOR THE FUN)

Im happy that my brother (who live with me) play the tank, we chat and we never wipe for one or the other reason (ether tank or healing)

The worst for me is when DPS think they can go and aggro everything and not feel our wrath. Im a good healer, my brother (who tank) is realy good and we are playing togeter, talking to each other. I mean they is no better setup atm i know. But when DPS just keep aggroing stuff and arrange mob to hit the tank, it pissing me off.

DPS : DO YOUR JOB, do NOT interfer with mine or the tank, else feel the kick incoming... and i have kick my share of DPS (we even refuse to move 1 inch when a DPS make us whipe 2 time on boss on purpose, try to kick and the other DPS click no, i tell : if *** is still with us, we won't move. After that the kick was accepted !!

I've had similar problems with Raise. I've had someone Raise me. I hear all the sounds for it. I even see that I'm targeted and part of the animation, but I never get the prompt to accept raise. I have no idea how to fix this or if I should submit this as a bug. This has happened on about 3 occasions so far.
