Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

[Auloriel]

We were in a CT run, myself as a SCH and the other a WHM. Due to a crappy tank and weak dps (they all met the ilvl req for CT at a minimum, some wearing white acc still), we wiped 4 times on the boss with 3 paths. Had to get a BLM from another group to come help us with the DPS.
As a result, after the 3 wipes there, dying a couple times in other places because tanks couldn't keep aggro, myself and the WHM had busted gear. By Behemoth, half my gear was broke and the WHM was hanging on to only a ring.
The entire Behemoth fight I was spamming succor and physic, popping CDs as soon as they came, healing for 400-500 a pop, and the WHM was healing like a lvl5 conj. Two to three of the party were down half the time (WHM was doing the raising and stoneskins), and the rest were hanging on by about 30% hp.
It was a stressful fight, I was running low on mp most of it, and couldn't heal for crap, yet somehow we managed to avoid a complete party wipe. To top it off, another squad lost both of their healers early fight (DC, one second they were there the next two healers are gone), so the other squad was healing both parties.

It was an insane fight that left everything breathing a sigh of relief when we finally made it.

Have you ever been in a party where nothing seemed to go right and you felt like it was your fault, even though it wasn't?

Titan HM. Every time. It took me a full 3 days to get through it with my FC and most of them having ilvl90s at least. It just didn't seem to go right at all.

Don't worry - I STILL have major issues with Titan HM, so you're not alone.
Like, super major. Feeling like I'm playing with half a brain kind of major... and then getting idiotic, 12-year old snob PUG crap from it. I'm actually a little glad I'm not the only one... x.x;

I used to think Ultima HM was my horror story - but as of recent I will take Ultima HM over Titan HM any day. I apparently have far less trouble with it >.>
Does Weight of the Land get you, too? D:

I had run it so many times that by the time it hits, it's just auto-pilot for me. The first time I beat it - there was a certain point I always died at and when I didn't that last time, I didn't know what to do D: But it ended up being myself and a tank til the last 15% or so, then the 3LB hit and I rezzed everyone. It was pretty epic. (No Swiftcast on my WHM so rezzing before wasn't an option.)

EDIT: I still haven't completed Ultima HM D:

Well, I kinda how two that really sticks with me as "Please never again..."

1st one was the bad bad run. Qarn...it was my 2nd time running it. Our tank was pulling like 3 or 4 mob groups each chance he got. He was keeping hate, but taking too much damage for me to cure. At one point, my mp was at 0 and if I hadn't leveled up at that second, we'ld have wiped while fighting mobs. MOBS. He was all "Your heals are too weak. Worst WHM I've ever run with" I was so tempted to just leave but I felt bad leaving the DPS behind...

2nd was actually kinda fun. It was Qarn again. At the very beginning. The tank looked at everyone then logged out. Not a word. He checked our gear and ditched....Leaving me, a THM and an ARC. So, We stood there for a sec to see if a new tank was going to pop up. None did and as we were about to abandon I was like "Screw them. I'll do it!" So the three of us did the run and completed it. At the end we had a small little party in the boss arena and than parted ways.

You should nab it when you can - it makes life so much nicer... except when you wish you could just do it over and over again without the cool down... and feeling bad for the people just laying there, waiting their turn like, "But what about me? ;-;" xD;

Don't worry, Ultima HM is a bit of a freak of nature - everyone has problems with it It took my FC and myself quite a while, also

People amaze me.


Congrats on beating it without! Clearly, the tank was unneeded xD

I basically had this almost exact same story yesterday except that I was running it in full SB gear so I had 2.7k HP and was physicking for about 600 or so HP, while my partner healer was a newbie WHM who was still in AF gear.

Uh. There's a point at which you really should just switch out of your spiritbonding gear.

Had a scholar in ifrit hard mode who camped clerics stance until me and a smn dps called her out on it continually and eventually wiped.

The tanks were both in front of ifrit and were taking a 1/4 to 1/2 hp of damage with his fire breath.

Because of this I had to cure 2 spam from the very beginning.

After the nails I was running dry on mp because of the large amount of medica and cure spam I had to do to keep people alive that we wiped, me and the summoner started shouting at the scholar who up until that point was totally ignoring me in chat about clerics, she then replied with: "you are solo healing lol". At that point I was completely stressed out but she EVENTUALLY took off clerics.

Sadly her pet kept dying and I still had to spam heal everyone, thanks to the summoner for ressing me when I got charged by ifrit, was too busy panicking keeping people alive to notice where he was.

One Ifrit HM run I was doing for the book, for vanity and to use while I work on my Relic quest, but mostly for vanity, I was in a party with another Scholar and an Arcanist(no, I don't mean Summoner, I mean an actual Arcanist with no soul stone on). The other Scholar kept getting hit by charges and eruptions, the died and I swiftres'd them, and they refused to take it. We wiped because I was basically solo healing because the other Scholar was too busy dpsing and running. The Scholar left and the tank told me to solo heal, and I told him to look at my gear(it wasn't even full i90, just some pieces here and there and some i80 I got from running CT on Summoner), and he said I'd be fine, despite be also mentioning it was because I was solo healing before that we wiped. The Arcanist, who was surprisingly good, backed me up with saying I couldn't do it(not in a mean way, mind you, just in an "they're not geared/experienced enough to" way). That tank left and a few dps did too. We got new people and we did it again, with another wipe because that healer(a White Mage) decided to only the main tank, and that was it, so I was stuck with healing the full party, and the new dps liked standing in attacks. We eventually got through it, but no book dropped.
I had another run where I was more geared, but still no Relic and looking for the book, and another Scholar was in the party, mostly dps'd, spent the last 30% of the fight dead and refused to accept my res, then the book dropped, the other Scholar rolled need and seriously beat my roll, despite doing next to nothing the whole fight.

In CM one time, this monk decided to do a speedrun against everyone's consent because a healer, a tank, and half of the dps were fresh 50s with no real experience, so we agreed to show them how to run the dungeon and let them watch cutscenes and explain everything we could. I had party lead and the poor White Mage tried to keep the monk alive and only got aggro and died themselves. We asked him to stop pulling so much and let the tanks do it, but he refused to listen, and we tried to kick him, but I couldn't do it for some reason(I've never had to kick a non-afk player before and haven't since) and I told the other healer not to heal him and hope he'll leave and get the 30 minute penalty, then he started making horrible remarks to us about sucking and being carebears and just used a lot of insults towards us. I was eventually able to kick him for harassment, but I wish he had just left and gotten the 30 minute penalty. The actual healing was a nightmare because he pulled far too much for me to deal with alone since the White Mage died nearly instantly and the dps died just as quickly if they stood in an AoE. But once we took it slow and got a more cooperative dps, it went very smoothly.

I've also had ST runs where the other healer couldn't heal at all and/or just dps'd, or got locked out of a fight. Luckily, they also never seem to roll on the healer gear I want, despite probably needing it more than I do, but I also don't think better gear could help that much stupid.
