Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

Had a wonderful one last night. I was tired, little sick, not feeling 100% myself. We're on the last boss of WP and just as the rancor starts ramping up near the end......
My screen goes black, then my desktop appears. Just as I'm reaching to click on the FFXIV the culprit pops up.....ITunes, which has been set numerous times to NOT AUTO UPDATE, decided now was the time to seize control of my system and remind me that updates were available.
I click the icon to bring back FFXIV, the screen loads back in and I spam benediction knowing that the tank was still my target.
The tank dies literally in the time between my hitting the key and the heal going off and the benediction cures me instead. The wipe came quickly after and there was only one thing I could say.

"Sorry guys, I got Ituned."

Was doing Titan for fun the other night since it is easy mode now. Suddenly tank drops instantly to zero complete dead. Leaving me wondering what just happened. Party chat erupts with laughter as everyone realizes our tank just walked off the edge.

Was in T4 coil last week and we weren't doing so great. A lot of reasons but one try we were cruising right along. Doing really well, one of our BLM's took some spike dmg so I switch off my tank, heal up the blm, switch back and my tank's hp starts dropping. Cure, Cure, CureII....he's not topping off i'm thinking F-ME he's getting hit hard and quick. CureII, CUREII...DANG IT!!!! Look up and i'm still targeting the Blm. /sigh /facepalm tank goes down.

Almossssttt had a benediction on him when I realized but wasn't quite fast enough. Oops.

My husband and I were in tam tam last night, me on tank and him on blm, and we had this weird ass whm. My husband and I both play healers. (I have sch and whm leveled and he has whm up to 50 as well with his drg so we've done this rodeo a few times in 1.0 and in 2.0). We agreed that if the whm looked like they were struggling, since we planned on pulling really fast, he would help (since he was leveling blm for swiftcast and I just have tank for sh*ts and giggles).

No biggie, right?

My health dips to 90 out of 700 hp on the first pull. I look at the party besides the list and the whm is staring at my husband, who is forced to heal me since she isn’t doing it.

WHM: "blm your job is to dps, stick to it."

Meanwhile I die.

So Don apologize and I am like, f**k this whm.

Rebuffs, pull mobs, HP dropping, no cures, Don tries to keep me alive - I die again.

WHM: "fine, if you want to heal moron, i will dps."

I lost my shit.

I said things I am not proud of, mostly called her a few names after she eloquently called me retarded and then decided to say more choice names to my husband because god forbid he tops me off while I tank nine or ten things and she doesn't cure.

I end up leaving, so angry at this idiot. This is level 15 lady, you got a lot to learn if you get insulted over this.

I guess she didn't think she could dps while healing, since her excuse to be a major a**hole was that my hubby was stealing her little work??? Wow never in my life had I even seen such vile behaviour.

At last boss of Stone Vigil, a bard died to dragon breath.
I Swiftcast Raise him... to my horror right into red circle AOE... while I waltz out >_<
(I thought I could see the bard quiver as he was stuck to the spot)
Did this twice in the same run.
Bard stayed on the ground til we were done the second time xD
... Awkward silence after the victory theme.

In Aurum Vale, I met this self-proclaimed pro DRG. He was so good that he ran his own direction. He'd plop his ass anywhere he liked, not dodging attacks and then telling me how to do my job better. And he particularly loved being in the face of his enemy. Cuz it was more manly, I guess.

At first boss, I quickly (painfully) figured out exactly what he specialized in as a professional. But it's okay. Cuz he offered me advice on where to stand, what fruit to get and of course how to do my job after a couple wipes. His reasoning? He tends to die halfway to a fruit (pretty hard to, with three stacks right?)

So after all that careful planning/rehearsal, he proceeds to eat tank's fruit, tank eats my fruit, the blm takes the back middle fruit and I die trying to reach the other one on the far end.



He's a real professional, I'll give him that. Special thanks to the newbie BLM who played his role so well.

I did this last night... Facepalmed all the way down to the ground.

At last boss of Stone Vigil, a bard died to dragon breath...

I had a Stone Vigil run where a MNK got raised in AoE four times on the last boss. FOUR TIMES. I felt so bad for her.

So I'm pretty well geared on my PLD, but I prefer normal WP pulls at a brisk pace over speed runs. I'm tanking WP with some FC friends, including a Holy-happy WHM I love very much. At one point he disconnects, we wait a couple minutes, he comes back. I resume pulling.

The sound of Holy casts is ringing in my ears. My health is dropping. 2500... 1400... under 900 now. I could've popped Hallowed Ground, but I wanted to see how long it took him to come out of Cleric Stance.

He didn't come out of Cleric Stance. T_T

Funniest part is, he didn't even notice I had died 'til I was running back.

In the garlean compound, i don't remember the name of the dungeon, the off tank wasn't doing anything and I was smashed by the boss adds

Was doing Titan runs for guildies and friends last Saturday and my co-healer, a Scholar, forgot to Heel Eos/dismiss her after our successful kill. We zone in with the next group to see Titan staring at us, yelling about his children and LANDSLIDING US AS WE WERE FROZEN IN PLACE IN THE LITTLE CIRCLE.

Eos is a troll, I swear to god...
