Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

[ThinkPInk]

Last night I was trying to farm Bray HM for some fast myth. Tank runs in gives me no time to cast protect or stoneskin. I ask him why he didn't give me a second to apply buffs and his reply was “ I can cast my own stoneskin." Before I have time to explain to him that his protect is gimped he runs in and pulls the entire room and dies. That was my last run for the night lol.

If the Tank Dies, it's the Healer's fault
If the Healer Dies, it's the Tank's fault
If the DD dies, it's their own fault.

THE END

Not 100% true but close enough I guess..

My worse horror story up to now happened in Stone vigil

I should have seen the signs, he applied to party finder, and wrote the 'no rage quits'

So we start, bard was taking emnity on single hits, had to autoatack.
I couldnt heal, even after he flashed and lobed i still got emnity. my pet was getting emnity. but he was flashing and lobing. so he did have skills as a player...

We pushed forward, then we get to boss.

Imagine the surprise, that boss autoattack could shave his sorry amount of hp in half. then i grab emnity cause i heal and boss turns to me, then fairy grabs it cause she heals me and she dies cause she cant get away fast enough

after the nth time i stay at the beginning and ask 2 questions:

Whats your ilvl?
where did you put your attribute points?

I really hate to ask questions like these, but i had to
Where i get the answer:

ilvl 28
attribute points all in intelligence.

Beautiful

I guess he specifically asked for "no rage quits" because in his previous runs, everyone else raged quit after playing with him.

yep.

Thankfully, after a couple of hours of him farming seals for redistribution item and updating his gear accordingly i received a tell thanking me for my advise and asking me to heal again in Stone Vigil. which was completed without a hitch all the way to last boss

so all ended well i guess. Still a horror story

Funny part was that right before i started Stone Vigil i completed Garuda normal. As a rookie. with full rookie party. noone knew what was doing. we died 4-5 times trying to realize the mechanics and the run after just took away all my excitement -_-

It's nice to know other players that are willing to help others and explain things. I don't understand why some people find it so difficult, I am always happy to do it if it helps everything run smoothly... or perhaps it's their arrogance?

Some people are arrogant.

Some people are jaded from dealing with the far more common 'don't tell me what to do!' idiots.

Some people really don't want to help people when this game is rather simple when it comes to class mechanics at later levels (I still scratch my head when I run into people that don't get how their class, or even their role works around brayflox level. Most blame FATEs for that).

Can't blame the 3rd group of people I listed too harshly because people not reading their own abilities, or not applying common sense is a shockingly common situation.

[Aloreal]

Hate 1k word limit

I blame it on arrogance mostly.

To be fair though, most players that either had a problem doing something, or never got a mechanic or skill ability usage, usually are overly bashed by alot of players. We cant just put blame on most who, when they see their name pop up in chat, they automatically assume its something against them and they screen it. Thats how i see it at least, my honest opinion.
As with everything, just destroying the bad idea they have and giving good advise can really turn someone 180 degrees and make him more compliant to advise.

On the other hand, ive met trolls...

If the Tank Dies, it's the Healer's fault
If the Healer Dies, it's the Tank's fault
If the DD dies, it's their own fault.

THE END

The popular opinion, yes - so often quoted, someone should get credit for it.

still, not true...

you are a team, and if you fail, the team fails as whole...

Brayflox HM, tank ilvl 110 gear for the majority.
Go in (with a party of three from my server, couldn't get a damn tank on the PF lol), ask if he minds a run to second boss and reset. Was then asked "if your doing speed runs, why using DF?" to which we explained the above. He decided he wanted a full run, so we said yep, fair play let's go for it.

He sods off without stoneskin or protect, pulls everything the whole way, wipes, rages at me . When asked why he sodded off without buffs, told the same thing "i'll do my own" usual story about explanations. First boss, 4 wipes, but didn't bother to clear the mob just before the doors so kept wiping on THE WAY there lol.

Got though it eventually, but aye, was more of a pain than anything.
