WTF? How would Eos be any better in those situations? Whispering Dawn is a weak regen, and her other abilities don't even heal. The heal buff would do little in remedying their idiocy.

I always tell non-healers that healers can't cure/esuna STUPID. Apparently it is a permanent debuff for some players.

I think some subpar geared tanks are used to being healed by overgeared healers in their Exp Roulette runs that they think they are really pro with chain pulls. Or, they think they can chain pull without cooldowns becos in the past an overgeared healer has kept them alive. And then they wipe another group with a suitably geared healer and blame the healer. I have seen tanks with a mixture of ilvl90+100 gear chain pulling three mobs at the start of Snowcloak and expect every healer to be able to heal their sorry undergeared ass against their foolhardy urge to die.

And to those tanks who think skill > gear? Well, I am sure they can convince the SE devs to let them complete Final Coil in ilvl50 gear instead - so pro!

It more about an attitude of mind with some people. They think healers are there to pull everyone out of the bad (substitute "bad" with a stonger word of your choice), therefore they dont have to pay attention to mechanics since thats what a healer is there for, to make up for your inefficient/plain terrible game play. Therefore, in these kind of cases, these people will look for any excuse to blame others (usually the healer), and never ever look at what they can improve themselves.
Sadly people like these are found at all levels of this game. I left a satasha hm run on my whm since the dps decided that they could stand in every aoe they wanted to, since a healer is there to make up for their stupid. Nope, healer isnt there any more, have fun......
As for Bikpik's case, they wanted to blame healer, found something to attack him for, and went for it. Bad players will continue to be bad players sadly.

Snip.

: Just saying, I probably would have switch to Eos just because they were complaining about it. Not that she would have kept them alive. That way they would have one less thing to complain about. Not only that but the three of them were obviously so bad at the game that they couldn't actually take advantage of Selene's buffs. But that's just me and I wasn't there so I don't really know.


Stupid is stupid. /shrug

Just a small story again: Did Thornmarch (Hard) which is super easy usually, and my team ended up wiping twice and barely finishing it the third time. No one was new, but the first time the DPS were just going crazy (I thinkmost were in a group and thought they could burn down multiple Moogles at the same time) Momento Moogle wiped us. The second time: OT held the WAR/PAL next to the King so we wiped, even though he was told to move it and wouldn't switch with the MT, and because of bad positioning on my part and a few others the AoEs just cut us all down.

The third time was almost as bad, but a few of us managed to get to a small area not affected by the WAR AoE, then we were able to burn down the King.

IT was sad because I didn't even get my book.

so I tell them that if they aren't satisfied with my healing that they are welcome to kick me, but they kick the Drg by accident first, then I get the boot. Which in hindsight I am thankful for.

I know this is like the 3rd or 5th time I read this, but... how did they manage to... well... just how do one commit those kind of accidents?
Kinda doubt their intelect :¬|

I'm not sure how, the Brd initiated the kick and I guess that tank just clicked yes without looking, I asked why they kicked the drg, and then brd said that he meant to click me, then I got the boot.

I was doing Labyrinth of the Ancients earlier and... Well we wiped twice but that was mostly due to several people being new and getting use to the mechanics. That's fine.


The only issue I had was... It didn't seem like my fellow WHM was healing enough. I asked him to heal more during BK, and they replied "I'M SPAMMING HEALS". All I ever saw them use were Cure, Medica II, the occasional Regen, and very rarely did they cast a Medica. No Cure II? I mean, we nearly wiped at one point (Team B had no living members, and my team and Team C had like half of our members lying on the floor). I think I had pulled aggro at one point when the tank holding the IG died, but I'm not really sure? All I know is that I ended up dead at one point. So yay, very low MP is so fun. So I informed my fellow WHM that I was low on MP... But they never really picked up the healing, while I was running around healing my team as much as possible and Raising everyone I could (the other WHM never Raised. I get we had a SMN but... He died a few times and I revived him every time. Even when I was low on MP). SoS was used every possible chance I got.

What made it even worse, and I tried to get everyone to fix it after we wiped the first time, was that I had two of my tanks on towers (1 in the SW and the other in the SE) but then I also had my SMN on the NE tower? Why? I thought tanks dealt with the towers. So it was very difficult to be able to stand anywhere and heal my team properly. Very rough. We did it though, which felt good. :P

I was doing Satasha hard today, and we had a SCH for our healer. Except they wasn't healing at all. Obviously I'm all for healers doing damage when they can, but this one specifically said "fairy is healing" when we asked for a little more.

How many times did you wipe? I'm pretty sure the fairy alone is not enough to heal Satasha HM. The healer would at least need to cleanse on the first boss or you guys were stunning the sting.
