Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

Amon. You guessed it. SCH doesn't cast a damn thing and doesn't even have her fairy out. I lose it, and tell her to start. fucking. healing. She says nothing and at the ice phase, she's standing there and everyone watches her get oneshotted. I click on a vote dismiss when it's over; can't. Someone opened our chest. Scylla's robe of healing. She lots, she wins, she leaves duty.

And I solo heal Xande.

That's horror story! She should have got Scylla's robe of doing nothing to help. Do they have that? What level is it?

I wonder if I was in one of the other parties. I did an ST run yesterday where the scholar in one of the other parties seemed to spend the whole time dead then dropped right before Xande. I was playing SMN so I try to throw out a res to the alliance when I see it is needed.

I rolled DR this morning and got Stone Vigil (Normal). Our healer sucked bad. We wiped once towards the beginning, healer admitted he hadn't done anything past Brayflox. Healer finally started using Regen on the tank and things went okay until just before the second boss (with the cannons). Just before this a DPS drops without a word and we get a new one. Tank makes an accidentally large pull, healer takes aggro and drops. Another wipe. We somehow get through past the second boss and move on to the last boss. After the boss takes flight a second time the healer panics trying to dodge and gets crushed by the dragon. Wipe. We go again, and this time healer can't dodge attacks. Wipe. Healer admits that he could leave, but against my better judgment the team decides to keep him. The tank and DPS give him some tips, both about the fight and healing. We try again. 30 minutes left. Healer finally pulls through the we clear.

The twist: That dumb healer was me. That being said, I really couldn't thank those guys enough for putting up with me and helping me out. I suspect the first DPS dropped because he saw where this was going (I noticed after the first wipe he took awhile to catch up with us and no doubt was talking with his FC/linkshell about it). It was my third time total through SV, but the previous times I was SMN and didn't have a hard time at all (maybe just one wipe between the two). I'm not sure if that was just a derpy day for me or I actually can't handle healing like I thought I could.

Honestly, I would've written a report for this one.

That moment when you realize you don't have any MP left, and you didn't pay attention before... and everyone dies.

This is going to be a different "horror story" maybe similar to faris.

So I'm playing SCH and trying for my relic weapon. I'll note that SCH is not my main, and so I'll admit I wasn't keeping him as geared as I should have.

The other thing I'll mention is that primals hate me, especially titan. Almost every time I've done it, I'm dodging the landslides, as well as the pools only to get hit by them when I'm well and clear. I'm almost tempted to just run around blindly since it doesn't seem to have any effect vs trying to dodge them.

Anyway I'm in Titan (Hard) and we are struggling (on our third attempt). I think the bombs killed to many the first time. The second time I got landslid-ed early and the other healer said (not solo healing, and jumped off). I found this kinda funny as the first run he got hit by something and went down. It took my a while to get him up, and so I was solo healing through quit a bit of the phases.

Anyway we are starting the third run when the WAR, examines me and asks, "Summer why do you have a lvl 38 weapon?" I explained that this was my 2nd job and I hadn't kept it up. I think he asked again and I gave him the same explanation. At that point he didn't ask anymore. Now what I thought was interesting in this was, yes I was still using a lvl 38 weapon. But with the exception of a lvl 80 boots and lvl 70 ring, everything on my left side was ilvl 100. Most everything on my right side was lvl 90 with the one 70 and one or two 100s. At the time of the comment about the weapon I was sitting at an average ilvel of 84-89. I will say that the tank didn't seem to push the issue that much after that point. He either gave up and thought I was an idiot or looked at the rest of my gear.

I realize that the weapon plays an important roll in the amount of healing, but I felt I had compensated for it by the rest of my equipment. In all honesty the reason I hadn't up graded the weapon, was because I didn't want to go out and get a upgrade that I'm going to throw away after I'm done with the fight. The 2nd reason I really didn't feel it was that big of a deal, was if the tanks take a huge hit, my primary way to getting them back up would be using Lustrate. So my weapon power would not be the primary issue. Also if I remember correctly the things that were killing us were mechanics (standing in 2+ pools at the same time, hugging the wrong bomb, going down the enticing landslide).

We do beat it and the kicker, the weapon that drops is for the SMN. I won the roll for it. So I guess when I go back through this pain for the SMN at least I'll have a "appropriate" weapon, since that appears to be all anyone cares about.

So there you have the horror story: Either I am a bad player and it was a horror story for everyone else involved, or it was a horror story for people freaking out about the the wrong thing, or it was a horror story for people not being able to dodge mechanics.

Lol. So much this. Though I do this way more on THM than I do on SCH. xD

Did Copperbell hard on my scholar alt last night. Final boss, the blm said he'd feed the worm since he's ranged. Well he tunnel visioned once the fight started and wasn't doing it, so we ended up wiping. I took over on the second try and we got through it.

If you recall half of team C being dead through Scylla, that's us! The alliance didn't moan, which I was kind of thankful for.

Honestly, I would've written a report for this one.

I've tried writing reports in the past for people that used to AFK Praetorium/Meridianum when that was ran regularly for philosophy tomestones, but only received generic form responses. I don't think the GMs care all that much for cheating players, as long as they're not breaking ToS with cheating.


...As of writing these responses, I've teamed up with an awesome scholar!friend and duo ST heals with her. A few other things have happened in ST (healers not knowing what to do, so mimicing me spell for spell whether it's needed or not) and just... general bads, so I've ran out of patience. For now.
