Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

I heal other alliances when I can afford to, otherwise my party comes first. If the other alliances' healers are not doing their jobs, then I refuse to pick up their slack.

I have a couple of stories, last week I was healing Qarn HM, one dps was new, no big deal. Didn't really wipe or anything until the last boss. The tank didn't wait for one of the dps to watch the cutscene and ended up locking them out. I was dpsing but the boss' HP was still going down reeeeeally slow. Plus the tank kept getting mummified. We ended up wiping, which is fine. Next try the tank and new dps kept getting mummified. The tank ended up dying somehow and right as I rezzed him (which was right away) he went back to the entrance. I know it was an accident, but still lol. We still managed to beat him, I tanked the boss and kept everyone alive. It was pretty rough though!

Other story, I just got out of Sastasha HM with a tank in full myth gear trying to speedrun it. Now, I think that a lot of the trash in there and Qarn hits really hard...and some tanks don't seem to know how many mobs they can handle. When I saw them keep running after they pulled the first group all I could think was, "Oooooh, don't do that.." I've seriously never seen a tank's HP go down so fast, and it was only two groups. It's pretty much habit now for me to put up Shadow Flare, DoT's and Bane, I shouldn't have this time, because they ended up dying...pretty much in record time lol...Physick wasn't doing anything, everything was on CD from the first pull. And I never have issues in these new dungeons, I've also never had anyone die because I was stance dancing. After they rezzed they said "Baby pulls it is" I felt bad, but I ended up leaving. An overzealous tank with an attitude, low dps...It just wasn't going to end well, and I just don't feel like dealing with that today lol. I can admit that I messed up by even trying to put up DoT's, but the tank might want to stick with "Baby pulls" until they can handle bigger ones.

It's sort of situational but i'll heal the MT always if they are in another party and support a group who has a healer frozen or dead where i can. Sometimes my party is so good that i can leave them with medica II and heal the rest of the raid. You should be able to see what is happening around you to know if others need help.

My first time in Pharos Sirius.. I queued with a friend, and we got the perfect party! All four of us were new, but friendly and patient. Sure, we wiped a bunch, but after each wipe, we had a little strategy chat to see what we noticed and come up with ways to get past it. It was the nicest duty finder party I've come across yet!

The horror comes when we got to the final boss.. get buffs up, run in.. I go to heal tank.. Does nothing.

Well, there are zombies.. maybe the debuff prevents healing..? Try again, nothing.. Leeches, nothing.. Well crap, try to heal myself, nothing..

See in party chat.. "Oh no, healer is having connection issues"

;_; It was such a nice party, that even with me suddenly being hit with terrible awful lag, everyone was patient and still kept trying.. I even tried spamming succor, figuring maybe some aoe healing going through would work better than no healing..

..and then, when my connection got so bad that I was kicked from the game. My friend texted to let me know they were still going to wait for me, and I should try to reset my modem to see if it helped. Reset modem, router, ps3.. no go. Barely got back into game and everyone told me not to worry, but then I got kicked again and couldn't log back in. I feel so bad for "letting down" the party, especially since everyone was so nice about it. No clue why my internet went wonky, either..

Does anyone else end up like this, when running ST/Labrynth? Or is the general mindset just, "not my party, not my problem"?

I always heal other alliance or give stoneskin. Sometimes 1 or 2 raise (I love my mp as scholar). Except if I am very busy with my own party.

I'll help if the need seems legit or if I know there are new players in the raid.

If people insist on repeatedly dying to the same highly telegraphed mechanics, however, I consider it a "bye, Felicia" situation.

Its an horror story, but not for the same reason.

I did ST as a SCH last night. I find ST a good place to practice Cleric Stance dancing, especially when there is a WHM in the party. So on the second boss, the WHM get a bit mad and shout "Mind helping me with healing", "Get off Cleric stance you ****". When there lot of damage to the whole party I get off cleric and help a bit, but when is everyone is full, it's a waste to stand there, when WHM is full of mana...

Then his BRD friend die, and the shitstorm start. I insta rez him and I get even more insulted. I explain to them that if I help with the dmg without no body dying, the run only go faster, so I dont see the problem. And they keep telling me to learn to play, that there is enough DPS and that they are "new cool players" so I should listen to them.

I ran ST at least 25 time in the past 2 weeks so I know the fight. It just upset me being pushed around because I'm trying to be a better player instead of waiting around.

A lot of players are ignorant of the fact that stance-dancing on SCH is a very low-difficulty exercise and assume that because you are in CS that you intend to stay that way at all times.

I hate when that happens D: A super feeling of 'helpless to do anything' while sitting there watching.... (I guess data is being received but nothing going out? I've had this a few times... watching my party do things, move around, and HP go down, but nothing I do/heal effects them - and then end up disconnected). My net does that in angry spurts. *Punts RCN*
But don't worry - it happens. The only way you would let the party down is if it was a purposeful quit/ragequit. Which it wasn't

Okay, then it's not just me derping and over-reaching into territory (other alliances) I shouldn't be (...though the last set of experiences have left me untrusting x_x)

Yeah, I don't mind helping alliances, just not when I find myself solo healing them (like in the trash-mob-tank-to-the-knee instance) on top of supporting my own party with my healer partner x_x
