The greatest lolwut moments on a duty

[Garlyle]

*Pure silence at the start for a good 20 seconds.*

Then I realise I'm the freaking healer. Happens way too many times to me, too many times.

This has been the story of my life learning to play Healer. I seem to be fine at the actual healing - but it takes me like 10 seconds to always realise that "oh right I'm on buffs"

[Lunavi]

This happens me too every single time I am healer u.u

Got into a in-progress brayflox hm. Only the white mage was left and she was trying to kill the first mob. Okay, dunno what's with that *joins in on the killing*.

Then pops in a tank and last dps. Yay full party, lets get going!

WHM runs off without casting any buffs, pulls the next mob, continuously casts stone 2, no heals. *hmm*

Runs off & pulls again, tank decides to stand aside, WHM dies. Maybe they got the hint? No. Rinse and repeat. The BLM with us heals instead. Scraped through the first boss and abandoned after that.

Fun times! ^^

WP in the high level roulette. WAR in allagan/ToS gear, but i80 relic. Tank pulls two tonberries and birds - we kill them. Then tank pulls more birds, few pugils and tonberries - i fire cooldowns, tank uses cooldowns too. When this pull is half dead tank goes ahead and pulls the rest of mobs up to the door and just stands there (without any cooldowns available). I use 6 lustrates and tank dies right after the last one used. I write in chat: ":O what happened"? Tank replies: "Heal me pls". I spent the rest of the run explaining him why cooldowns should not be used as soon as they are available, and what each of them do. He had 5 lv50 jobs, including pld - my lecture must have been very annoying to listen, but at least now he knows how to play war. Also we had a dragoon and blm who never used sleep or flare, so finishing this WP took some time.

Copperbell Mines HM....

Paired on roulette with a monk who is silent the entire run and really has no clue what is going on - fine, he's probably new, so myself (BRD) and the healer try to explain to him what to do, but he doesn't listen. Whatever...

We get to the last boss and I say "I will feed and pick up the adds. Monk, just stay on the boss and dps and use the LB when it's ready."

Tank holds boss in center of sand instead of on the side so that he and the monk die. We wipe and start over. I repeat my instructions to the monk and tell the tank where to hold the boss.

The monk then proceeds to pick up every rock around the room one by one and place it on the sand before the worm even spawns........

Coil turn 1 yesterday. We get to Cad, and with 2 bards in the party one bard says he'll play ballad if the other one plays foe at the split. The other bard replies with "I dont have that on my bar, I'm a ps3 player and there's no room."

lolwut?

Then the initial bard tells him he can change hotbars with r1, and I tell him about the r2/l2 held crossbar, so he doesnt even have to switch. But he didn't want to hear any of it. He ended up leaving our group saying "good luck requeuing."

We went with 7, and got the win with ease.

Was duoing Stone Vigil with my friend on our alts and this level 50 white mage with allagan gear (i95 or so), probably doing atma book, got queued with us. I noticed our DPS is going kind of slow so I decide to pay attention to our WHM to see if she's not using any DPS spells in between heals (as someone who has played healer in multiple MMO's this peeves me). What I find her casting instead of Stone 2 is...Ruin. Yep. Spamming the living crap out of it too. We ended up wiping on a trash pull midway through the dungeon because she was so intensely focused on dpsing with Ruin. Rolled 'need' on anything she could that dropped (stuff that was upgrades for me like pink tights that were vendor purchasable look if she wanted it for a glamor...). We never said anything to her or her to us the entire dungeon. I'll never complain about healers who never DPS again...

This happened to me except I was the monk and the tank was the one who didnt know what he was doing. Nobody ever spoke the entire dungeon and then at the end the tank forces me to dps it in the sand after waiting for him to pull it. We wipe, so our BLM (who was on worm duty) speaks up telling him to move it out of the sand so we can avoid damage. He responds with Russian text so I use the waymarker to show him where to pull it (this was before I knew about the autotranslate tool!). He keeps tanking it in the center so I decide to just not dps. Finally he gets the point and pulls it back but responds in broken English by hurling insults about me being lazy. It boggles me how he came to that conclusion.

Was on Hydra, 3 Bard's in the party including me. White Mage kept burning all his MP.

White Mage: "WE NEED MORE BARD'S PLAYING BALLAD WTF NOT JUST 1"

Tanking it in the middle is actually a good idea. You only take damage if the worm is right under you, and in the middle, he's not. It also puts you close to most of the rocks in the event you have two melee.
