Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

LB 3 fills, dead people want healer LB, would be sensible, give my mana a respite. Nope, Dragoon LB, doesnt kill titan. Have to keep healing in bad situation. Titan dies eventually and what do i get? I get abuse off the Dragoon....."If you cant solo heal titan at your level....." etc etc etc. Can solo heal fine, but Dragoon, consider what happened in the run first...."

That Dragoon is a derp, plain and simple. If he hadn't gone all Billy Badass and used the LB for Final Heaven, then the run would've been easier to finish. Half your party was dead (through no fault of yours, how are you to blame if the MT disconnects or if your healing partner eats a WoTL?) and he wants to get on your case? You finished the run in a terrible situation. That speaks volumes to your ability as a healer.

Ugh, that's pretty awful for helping to carry the team through that mess.

Anyway, I feel a lot of times that DPS develop a sort of tunnel vision. Experience with other classes helps alleviate it, but they're still not required to watch party members the same way as healers are. As long as the tank and healer are up, they don't have to pay attention to anything except their own rotation and dodging. It takes something like the end of the fight or a dead tank to snap them out of it. More likely than not, he had those blinders on and assumed you let the tank drop dead when they actually dced.

True. Even as a tank main, I find myself not paying as much attention to party hp levels and such while DPS'ing. The difference is, I tend to ask "What happened?" rather than simply laying into someone.

That showed him.

Yes. Yes it did. Any tank that says "I know what I'm doing" while tanking Titan with no Shield Oath is lying. ;3

Unfortunately this seems to be the norm now in trial roulette now, people doing very weird things then expecting the healer to drag them through it no matter what. I have come across several people in garuda HM who now tell people to ignore the feathers, "its ok, we over-gear this content now" is their justification. One run the new people listened to the tank who gave this advice, reckoning kills everyone but the tanks. It would be nice if people understood that over-gearing content does not mean you can ignore some mechanics!

General Mentality seems too be "lol Mechanics!" Seen Bad Tanks and Others while Playing... Only time i Ever Eat Attacks i can Avoid is on Titan Hard Mode... With 20-30% Echo.
