Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

Sacred Coil, Eye4eye, Succor and Lustrate - i had no idea people can struggle with gliders. Pld can also cover you.

I got basically insta-killed last night because the WAR pulled all the gliders in the second zone, they all attacked me and I had no chance to heal.

This has never happened to me (i already farmed animus + a plenty of gear for alts). You can pre-galvanize self and spam lustrate if they do so, but i haven't seen this that happen yet.

Healing horror stories... I have so many that it would probably take me a few posts to post them all, where do I begin?

It was a dark and stormy night. A group of four was trapped within a dank and gloomy cavern. The girl in white timidly looked at the others of the group and nervously spoke, "It is my first time, so please be gentle with me. Ah, but it wouldn't be too bad if there was a little... Sorry, I was fantasizing a little." The others looked at the girl and after a long pause, two more voices were heard. "This is my first time too." "I've never been here before." And finally, the gruff man in heavy silver spoke: "I'm new." With great nervousness, the group slowly moved on into the toxic cavern. Slow footsteps could be heard, six sets of footsteps could be heard as the group of four walked... Six? The girl paused as she looked around, worried. She counted the number in the group. Four, including her. So why then was there six? And she saw them, odd creatures with beating wings. And then the gruff man charged in as if crazed... After a lengthy battle, the four vanquished the creatures. Their journey had just begun and the girl had learned one thing from the battle-the monsters either really loved her or really hated her because they charged straight at her and seemed to ignore the others in the group. The group continued on at that pace until they reached a second blue circle. There, they fought a giant plant-like creature-innocent enough until two more appeared, quickly attacking the girl and pouring out their foul poison. Suddenly, the girl felt sluggish and her health quickly deteriorated. As she perished, she uttered her last words... "Why did you do nothing as they brutally murdered me?" To this day, you can sometimes hear the hateful sobs of the girl as you wander those caverns. They say that the girl wanders those caverns to this day, haunting adventurers with her hate. And some say, if a group of three enters the caverns, they may be accompanied by a strange girl-a girl bearing odd resemblance to the one who died in those caverns...


=========

Ok, lets go with shorthand for the next stories. This time: Stone Vigil will be the dungeon. (Feel free to let me know if you want to hear the lengthy version of any of these-but I know nobody will).

There was also this time in Stone Vigil when the tank turned the boss and wiped out all the dps and died himself almost at the start of the fight. I ended up soloing the boss for like 30 minutes. Including when people kept leaving and joining-the boss turned invincible a few times because of this. I am NEVER soloing the boss again. I could've finished a dungeon in that time.

There was another time in Stone Vigil when we reach the first enemies and we find that the tank just flat out died, couldn't hold aggro, and was just horrid. After that fight, I looked at the tank's gear. GRAY level 10 gear. Let me say that again for those that didn't catch that. GREY RARITY LEVEL TEN EQUIPMENT.

Another time in Stone Vigil. Same issue. Looked at his gear. NO EQUIPMENT EXCEPT FOR A LEVEL 1 WEAPON. Let me say that again. NO ARMOR, NO ACCESSORIES, ONLY A LEVEL ONE GRAY WEAPON BOUGHT FROM AN NPC.

Another time in Stone Vigil, tank decided-in the middle of the second battle, after I had JUST put regen on, to suddenly sprint. And decided to aggro what must have been half the dungeon up to the first boss. Without actually grabbing aggro on any. Needless to say, I suddenly had a lot of enemies after me.

Another time in Stone Vigil, tank decided to be funny and EVERY boss and enemy, would bring them to the party so that they'd aoe the party. Needless to say, mages don't cast very well when being forced to constantly move. This included bringing the second boss to the cannons and facing it towards whatever cannon was needed.

Another time, reached last boss, entire party started the battle and then suddenly left pretty much at the same time (not dc) without warning and without bothering to attack the boss past aggroing it and making sure I was inside.

Another time, tank decided that it would be funny to tank the enemy in the middle of a dragon firebreath spot with two melee dps in the party.

Another time, tank started the battle and as soon as I healed, started dancing. Aggro quickly turned on me.

Another time, DPS decided to pull every enemy they could find and brought them to the tank while he was trying to hold aggro on a group of enemies. Needless to say, a badly timed flash...

Ok, do I really even need to list all of the times?

Next stories, random assortment of dungeons/trials.

Ifrit: DPS refused to attack the nail several times in a row. Finally killed the nail after a bunch of tries by ignoring healing when the nail spawned.

Coil T4: After a party wipe on the last dread, one of the healers refused to heal.

Coil T4: Healer DC'ed mid-dread. Stuck solo healing the rest of the fight-which ended fairly quickly since I drew ALL the aggro next wave and shroud couldn't drop it enough-the healing was fine, it was all the enemies attacking me that was the problem.

Coil T4: Healer accused me of not healing and not using cure. Despite the fact that I was spamming cure and cure 2 on the main tank (and was better geared). Entire time, had a dps and a healer spending more time accusing me of doing things wrong than doing their roles.

Aurum Vale: Tank decided to pull every enemy in the first room without warning (after I had mentioned that it was my first time). Lost aggro on like all the enemies and then said: I guess you aren't geared well enough for me to do a speed run.

Brayflox Longstop (Hard): Tank decides to do a speed run. Pulls all the enemies and couldn't hold aggro. Like, at all. Like cure 1 pulled ALL the aggro off him after making sure he had grabbed aggro. Complains about my healing not being good enough and calls me undergeared.

Brayflox Longstop (Hard): Tank decides to do a speed run. Doesn't check that the party is ready. Starts the run with the BLM afk. Party wipes because I run out of MP. Blames me for not being geared. I say that there is no point doing a multi-pull if there is no AoE. He says BLM is AoE. I say that BLM wasn't there. Other DPS agrees, the BLM even admits it. Tank tries again. Can't hold aggro and loses it to the entire party despite not getting paralyzed.

I was playing titan ex with a PF group, we manage to reach after heart everything going well till the adds spawn, its like got in panic and start to eat plumes or got hitted by bombs well we manage to kill adds but when that happen the MT die and the OT take titan, my healer partner die at the first set of bombs, so here you can see me healing the rest of the fight and DPS dying one by one, finally when reach the superbombs only the MT and I are alive next Tank die and me tanking trying the imposible mission of destroying a bomb (LOL) but I look at my LB bar and see its on lvl3 I wait to the last second to use it, titan jumps -> throw LB3 -> all party get revived with the inmortality in the exact time when bombs explode and titan landed, I was the only who died xD... but nobody I think expect that beacuse they are standing still without doing nothing like 1 or 2 sec and start moving (maybe that was the server latency) at the end... we still wipe xD, but thats my best healer LB3 use till today.

This has never happened to me (i already farmed animus + a plenty of gear for alts). You can pre-galvanize self and spam lustrate if they do so, but i haven't seen this that happen yet.

An unlucky multi glider ram to insta-kill the healer can happen.

I'm a White Mage, not a Scholar, so I don't have the ability to do that. This was also in a DF group, not a Party Finder group, and I wasn't geared for a Speed Run. The WAR didn't check with the party before pulling all of the mobs (although he broke up the area before the first boss into two pulls instead of one, which I was able to heal through.)

did he pull the raptors o.o
did you have stoneskin on yourself

He pulled everything in the second zone prior to the second boss (which isn't a lot, but if they all choose one target to use Glider Ram on, that person's going to get hurt). And yes, I had stoneskin on. Getting about nine Glider Rams into the face when I wasn't really expecting it, on top of the fact that I didn't really have the gear to do a speed run of the dungeon means that I basically just took a dirt nap where I stood.

I always do this in DF. Even if the healer and dps seem to be very well geared. It doesnt take much longer to split the first area in to two pulls, and its much safer when you are with people you don't know.

Remember - a Scholars most powerful heal aside from Lustrate is Physick. They don't get a 600 heal Potency spell like White Mages do with Cure II. And if the Tank was taking a ton of damage and not popping cooldowns properly, even Eos might not be able to keep up with that.

Sacred Coil, Eye4eye, Succor and Lustrate - i had no idea people can struggle with gliders. Pld can also cover you.
Cure2 is 650 potency, Adloquium is 600 potency with a 25% chance of 1350 potency.

I do not understand why did you:
- start a sch strategy discussion while being a whm;
- start a speedrun while being undergeared for it;
- expect a smooth speed run in DF.
I cannot really give you advices on whm as i never did a speed run on whm.
What only comes in mind is:
- eye4eye before the pull so mobs would already have a debuff on them;
- stoneskin self before the pull to increase ehp;
- keep both regen and medica 2 on self because heal over time can make a difference between a wipe;
- use cure3 a lot (standing near the tank) so you will have more healing incoming.
While gliders attacks are rapid - there is a small delay between them, goal is to get a HoT proc/pre-casted heal during their attacks.

An unlucky multi glider ram to insta-kill the healer can happen.

950/hit base, 9 gliders = 8.5k damage. Sacred Soil + eye4eye = 6800, adlo = 6000, embrace = 5400, lustrate = 1.2k each. Can stoneskin self on top of that. Seriously, i did a lot of speed runs and was never 1-shot, but it was not in DF, i am not undergeared and i know how to use heal under heavy fire. If healer starts casting adlo while below 60% life of course they will die.

Horror story...sort of.
I realised that I need to start my relic quest for my SCH and I am incredibly nervous!
