Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

Not sure how to categorize this, but basically didn't heal once at toto rak because the summoner decided to heal and not dps. They didn't summon their pet for some reason either :/

maybe he made a mistake and originally wanted to queue as Scholar, then thought "damn this I heal anyways" xD

Lol I did tell them to focus on dps and that I can heal alone, and I was ignored. Initially I thought they just healed when worried but then realized they were healing even if tank lost 10 hp. I switched to cleric stance then and finished the run as dps xD

I have seen parties on the 2nd boss not pulling adds of me so I am dodging alot and they yell at me when they die. Tip for you tank s and dps. The less I heal myself the more I can heal you

I zoned into a Tam-Tara run where the tank was wearing all caster gear. I was much busier in that run than usual.

I'm a lvl32 WHM who wants to run Brayflox for EXP.

Some Dragoon wanted to finish ASAP and kept pulling mob after mob, completely ignoring my MP (and the simple fact that he's NOT a tank).

The tank, instead of being angry at the DPS, got angry at me for "not keeping up".
Problem is, it's not my job to heal reckless DPS.
Another problem is, the tank couldn't even "keep up" with it himself because due to massive heal output I was constantly drawing adds. OR he simply ignored them. You decide.

Both were lvl50 players scaled down, mind you.

So after they complained about me being too slow and them being in a hurry, I told them to lean back and chill while they wait for another healer, just before I left them.

Dealing with terrible players is NOT my job.
I can just leave and find a new, proper party in less than a minute.
There is no reason for me to tolerate their behavior.
So what makes these people think they can get away with it?
Because they don't. Not on my watch.

Most tanks I run with at Brayflox usually leave the adds on me. I just put a regen on myself.

Since I'm playing as DPS, I'm still trying to figure out what the "norm" is for that fight. Half the people say ignore the adds and half the people say, kill them quick. And yes I realize this is slightly off topic.

Honestly most healers should be fine with the adds on them. Just focus on the boss. ^^

BACK ON TOPIC,

My horror story is healing a Titan Ex where the these ranged people(blm/brd) were standing way in the back and were bitching to me about not healing them. I AM healing...you are just not in my radius c:

This was my Brayflox experience alllll over. Tank ran around the lake room and aggro'd everything in the room, but didn't flash or cycle targets or do anything to generate enmity. I cured ONCE because he was about to die after just the mobs' first volleys of attacks, and BAM. Instant death by trash for me. Then I get "WTF heals, I was going to lock them out." Except that he was in the middle of the room at like 1% health thanks to sprinting out of my healing range constantly and would have died LONG before ever reaching the mid-boss...

I didn't quit, but I was, let's say... somewhat forgetful in my healing for the rest of the dungeon.
