Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

Just attempted Garuda EX for the first time. I had read plenty online about the fight so I knew all the phases, but that is never going to make me experienced at actually playing the fight, so I gave it a go.
I told everyone I was new, to which no one said anything...good start. The first half of the fight goes ok, no deaths and the tanks seem to know what to do. Spiney plume comes along and again that goes ok, but then I mess up and don't quite make it into the protective bubble on time and I die.
The main tank and other healer go mental and start swearing at me, saying other unpleasant things and refuse to res me, so they wipe. Now, I understand that 'keyboard warrior syndrome' is quite common in MMOs, so I suck it up, apologise and start cycling stoneskin ready to go again, at which point I get sworn at more, then kicked.

People suck....

This is horrible to read. Honestly, in cases like this you should report them to SE for abusing the vote kick system and for harassment. There's no cause to treat anyone that way, new or not.

I'm assuming that you queued for the trial in Duty Finder; how people expect to go into an EX primal in DF and beat it on the first shot is so far beyond me that I can't even begin to understand it. :s

Yea, it was the DF. The PF is fairly dead on Moogle unless you want Hunts or '100% EXP, kick if fail' EX runs, lol, and I don't have a static group yet.
I was really tempted to do some reporting, but I thought I would let it slide this time and I just went to bed instead :P

Tried it again this morning and got a much nicer group. We still failed, but I feel like I'm getting better with every try, so all is not lost for my healing career, haha.

It took me many many tries to pass Garuda EX, and even that was like pulling teeth. There's just so friggin much that can go wrong in that fight (most of which you as healer can't really affect outside of keeping everyone alive) that it's not even funny. I'm sure now that I've passed it, doing it again would be much easier but that first time was just ridiculously hard and I haven't had any inclination to go back because of it.

I know a lot of people actually move to more populated servers for things like statics. I dunno how entrenched you are in the community as far as friends and FC and such go, but there's possibilities there. :3
