Scholars - missing the point

[LiadansWhisper]

In Titan, I'm scared to use my Aetherflow stacks on anything other than Lustrate. People will always get hit a few times by something and need a quick pop, but for the most part its the Mountain Buster, or what ever it's called. When I did Titan we had a Warrior tank, and he announced on Vent when he was about to use Buster. When he announced it was incoming I noticed there was intense damage where I essentially had to spam Embrace and Physick as fast as I could to ensure he was at full health before it hit, and try to Adlo before the hit too, and save Lustrate for when it DOES hit, to get him up from the 1000 or so health it leaves him with. I'm not the most experienced in that fight, but sometimes it seems like he only does Buster once, sometimes two or more times in the span of a a minute or two it feels like. I've been in the situation where I was running low-ish on MP from curing Tummults, had just used my Aetherflow stacks healing up from a Buster then popped Aether's CD, used it on someone hit by the mechanics, then have one or no stacks of Aetherflow left, Aether on 30s + CD, and the tank announced another Buster incoming, and all I can do is think "Oh Sh**...", and try to keep him cured up as much as possible.

Peaches...where is the other healer? o_O Why are you the only one covering the tank and the raid? o_O

I try to discuss healing roles with other healers, and they just tell me to go free for all. So when the tank announced Buster incoming and I see his health dropping rapidly before the attack even comes in I do everything I can because I don't know what the other healer is doing. If I don't go all out on that, and the other healer fails to perform then the tank dies from lack of heals. I just treat everything as if I'm healing solo usually, while hoping the other healer does his job as well

Wait, so were you pugging this fight? Because that's the only situation in which I can imagine a co-healer being like, "Yeah, whatever, dude, I don't want to do my job correctly and I don't want you to do your job correctly, either."

If you were pugging the fight, stop. If you weren't pugging the fight, slug your co-healer in the face. Healing is a team sport, and if the other healer in your raid isn't a team player, they need a knuckle sandwich. What should have happened is...you pre-shield the tank, and set him up for the mountain buster. The WHM in your group Stoneskins the tank (if possible) and stands ready with a Cure II or Cure III (I guess if it's realllllly scary) to immediately burst him back up from the brink. If you know the fight, you can actually work with Titan's cast/swing timers to make sure the cast goes off right as the damage goes out.
