Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

I don't usually get a bad PUG group for DF, or at least I didn't until Qarn. I'm still kind of new so I don't have much high level dungeon experience past 38, but oh my god Qarn has warranted some of the worst healing experiences ever. I really liked how the difficulty ramped up, but sometimes the groups are bad.

My first time running Qarn: I went to clear the doom off of myself and it switched as I stepped onto it so it did not clear, and I did not have time to get the next panel. So yes, I died on the first boss. My group was chill about it and I died before the boss did so we didn't wipe, but it was still embarrassing. I apologized profusely, and that was the only technical mistake I made. And even though they said it was alright since i was new, it is still embarrasing to be that guy so i vowed to not do that again. I came close to messing up again because I ran out of mana, but since Scholar is awesome I was able to get it back via careful aetherflow management.

But yeah, Qarn is awful. I ran it several more times and did fine myself, but each group was a nightmare in its own way. Yeah...it was a bad night

Sycrus Tower, 4 of my DPS were Ninjas and some barely had 3000 HP. Predictably, most of them kept dying no matter how much we tried to keep the healed. I dubbed them Dragoons 2.0


The other healer was also making my own job harder by trying to keep the other alliances alive, leaving me to do all the healing for my alliance. Literally had myself and another ninja tell the healer to stop healing other people and help me out.

Yesterday I had a ninja and her war buddy in AV. War was the most impatient person on planet earth and pulled 2 groups + the nix, nix did laboured leap, apparently these two buddies don't know what aoes are, War in full sol gear went from 90% to 30% hp and the lvl 48 Nin instantly turned into paste that mixed with the floor then sat tasting dirt instead of respawning and running 2 meters back to us for about 5 mins.

After some more atrocious pulls and the War pulling way more than any sane person would then LOS'ing me around a corner while I had half the pack on me resulting in our deaths I got kicked outside the boss room. This was my first kick in the history of my play time in this game and I couldn't be happier. Still that ohko from laboured leap was clearly the highlight of the run, DRG 2.0 definably.

A Gladiator tank.
That is all.

Upside - certainly interesting bard in the party

Think this might be some weird post-patch trolling. I've run into it twice in past 2 days. "Buddies" do unbelievably dumb stuff, die, and then blame heals. Stop, spend incredible amounts of time asking about skills, etc. Never been kicked or abandoned duty before in 2 years. But did both this weekend. Extremely adolescent behavior.

CT/Labrynth run.

PULL -ALL- THE BOSSES EARLY!
DODGE -NONE- OF AOES (loldrg =_=)!
KILL -ALL- THE MAGIC JARS!
TANK -ALL- THE ATMOS MOBS AT ATMOS!
IGNORE -ALL- THE PLATES IN PHLEGETHON (and confusing me in the process)!
KILL -NONE- OF THE PEOPLE-EATTING CLAWS!

I'm leveling my Scholar for fun (been 50 WHM for a while) and it's now 44, so I que up for Dzemael Darkhold last night. The Warrior for some reason tries to speed run the dungeon, somehow we make it to the last boss with no deaths. Right before we get there he hits 50, and at the time I didn't think anything of it.

Having only done the dungeon once and forgetting the mechanics of the last boss I ate his line attack and died at about 40%. No huge deal, we go back to take it out, and out of nowhere, not waiting for Protect or even everyone to be at the boss room, the Warrior just runs in and starts attacking the boss. I frantically run up and try to get off a Protect as he yells at me to get away from him so I don't get hit. We wipe. He says "oops, my bad" and we run back to try the fight again. And he does the exact same thing a second time, then rage quits.

Part of me thinks this was just some jerk who hit 50 and figured "eh, who cares" and wanted to just troll the group.

Stone Vigil...

Tank eats every AoE/Line special...

Tank flashes once, sometimes out of range of enemies, and focuses on one mob at a time...

I heal tank...

Tank says, "Don't steal my aggro" ...

Doing Ifrit HM with some rl friends to help them with relics. The party is mostly pre made with both heals and 3 dps being our rl friend group (3 of us had relics rest did not).

We get in and I notice that the tanks and other dps are basically there for the same reason, relics. The tanks decide that the PLD is OT (for stuns) and the WAR is MT. Everything starts fine, I let them pull, gain enmity then I regen the warrior, Ifrit does is cone breath and I heal the WAR but then I notice something odd, I pull from the WAR after curing him ONCE. Yes, once.

Basically Im now being MT for this run until the PLD provokes it (WAR just lets it beat away at me for some reason) but the PLD tanks him in the middle of the arena (all the time for multiple attempts) and I just watch my fellow healer and dps get torched by his cone breath attack...Needless to say we wipe, a lot, I think me and my BLM friend pulled off the tanks frequently for silly reasons that should not be happening regardless of ilvl at this point. We wipe with Ifrit at 2% because I can't heal myself while running to make up for the damage I'm receiving + interrupts and no lb3.

Then the PLD after the 3rd or so wipe has the cheek to call us "utter shit" and as he was having his little rant he got booted. Luckily we got another WAR who tanked Ifrit and our original WAR just stunned his erupts which he did very well.

So er, yes, even old content can go horribly wrong...

Sastasha HM as a SCH

After an hectic 1st boss (remove Dots, heal tank, HoT twister, GAAAAAAH) with everyone around 30% HP for 80% to the death, we somehow managed to get to 2nd boss..

Try to heal a dps with 3k HP >_> the time I began to heal, he was dropping dead, with only 3 stacks on boss. No need to say we couldn't survive the 2nd phase where he starts at 6/8 stacks xD

We eventually managed to pass when the boss decided to target the tank second hand. Spam heal, remaining dps clear adds, we win. But a hell of a run.
