Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

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.

Except to my horror, I knew the bard would accept raise immediately and quite literally sent the bard to his death by having him spawn in an incoming AOE xDD
Twice.

Bad timing on both our parts.

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...

Remember to replace pets, always XD

I ran Haukke Manor a couple days ago, leveling my white mage. War, Brd, Mnk in party. Starts with the silent tank who refused to dodge any red zones. Figured, whatever, I can keep him alive. Then the brd starts pulling mobs, clearly on purpose. I still keep them alive. Then the boss fight. Brd immediately uses LB and pops MB. I'm confused, figure it's a mistake and we win and move on. Next boss fight, same thing. His response: "It's the boss, i have too". He's being belligerent. I start letting him die when he pretends to be tank. Miraculously, we make it to the final boss. He uses our LB again, but doesn't pop MB. I think he thinks he's punishing me. Only the mnk helps me turn off the lights. Only the mnk tries to pick up adds. We wipe. I eventually quit the dungeon. There just wasn't any chance.

This was especially horrifying for me cause I main a bard. I never understood why they had such a bad name. But then I meet players like that, who seem to purposely give bards a bad name, and I start to understand.. and feel a little sad.

Your Story is fishy cuz BRD LB is healing and not MB

Lol. that's what made this guy so frustrating. He was using a HEALING Limit Break, at the beginning of the boss fight. And immediately starting up Mage Ballad when I still had full MP, gimping his DPS and using up all his MP so it wasn't there in the event I DID need it. Guess the story does sound kinda unbelievable, but it really is true. I think this guy was trolling/effing with us. I truly hope no one could be that dense.

Also, I guess I implied we never wiped till the end. That's not true. We wiped lots of times. If it weren't for the Monk doing his job well, we never would have made it to the final boss.

This is the most amazing BRD I've seen.

Everyone should start recording these moments and put unfitting music on it.

Speed runs in WP make people stupid. They think they have to pick up a certain amount of groups. My philosophy is, if you are the tank and running to pick up groups, do so until you start taking damage, then STOP. Once you start taking damage, if you keep running, I cant heal you with Cure 1 or 2 as you will get out of range before it goes off, AND I can't cast regen, or will get mega aggro from the groups you are running to. I have found even Swiftcast + Cure 1 or 2 or stoneskin usually ends up with me with aggro. Remember, it isn't a speed run if we wipe cause you took too much damage before you stopped so I could heal you.

This is why I don't do speed runs. xD My groups still generally finish in under 25 minutes. Sometimes faster!

Ran WP the other day and the tank wanted to do a speed run. I'd done a few before, and I'm getting better at DPSing and using Holy in WP to make the run go faster. I figured, this is cool, we got this. Literally my first Holy, the tank lost agro of the entire group. I kept up the Holy casting because they were stunned, I wasn't taking damage, and even with diminishing returns they were dropping fast enough that it was fine. But then the tank got angry and asked me to stop. So I did. I kept him alive, and switched into CS when I could to DoT the groups. Still pulled agro. He got angry at me again and told me firmly to stop DPSing. So I did. I waited til he got agro of the next group after that, then started healing as I normally would. Literally my first Cure and I pulled agro again. Sadface.

Nothing bad happened, it was just annoying because the tank was getting frustrated and literally nothing I did seemed to help. For reference, I wasn't the only one getting agro, the DPS were too. He was getting annoyed at them as well.

Eh, I do 15-20min WP all the time (WAR and PLD, WAR a little slower and not as serious though), and this works well:

Stay close to the tank (sprint if needed)
When he gets close to his last pull, Divine Seal and Regen. Then Cure 2 at least twice (tank needs to be as close to full HP as possible here, so maybe a third if needed), Swiftcast Holy (you should be close to the tank all the time, but out of AoEs), Cleric Stance, Holy twice, CS off, heal as normal. Pop Shroud if its up sometime during this. Pop Presence if you absolutely have to (last pull is a good one to use it on). I rarely, if ever, have to use Benediction.


I rarely take aggro, but I also run with these tanks all the time and we have it down. As for gear, the WAR are DL/Relic, PLD is in some i90 (Coil-ready) and I'm in i70/Relic. The DPS are often better geared than me.
