Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

I wasn't healing (thank god) but my FC leader was. We went into WoD, wiped on the first trash pack, almost wiped on the first boss, nearly wiped on the 2nd trash pack, wiped on the 2nd boss, disbanded.

I was however attempting to play with 0.02 MBPS up/down and 900 ping because my ISP decided to kill all their hamsters or something. My game was actually registering events that had happened a whole 5-10 minutes behind everyone else.

I remember her screaming, "Discordance is going to cast! No one is killing the heads! It's nearly dead too!" And I said, "Well, on my screen the boss is still at 98% HP, but I'm gonna throw out some Fire II's and pretend I'm helping."

And naturally the raid blamed the healers, and I know she was working her butt off 'cause our other healer and DRG died a lot.

75 minutes of World of Darkness. Probably 75+ casts of Raise.

Tanks fought for hate on Boss #1
Someone pulled boss with Foe's on Boss #2, tank kinda tanked it.... right there
Boss #3 actually went kinda okay
Two wipes on Boss #4 before people realized how to stop giving Cloud stacks during the Dark Cloud/Storm phase.

Fun fun for the whole family. And all I was there for was to try to get the Healing Belt on Boss #2~

Got a short one: I decided to do a high level roulette for the heck of it, got Stone Vigil HM.

Tank takes off and pulls the first two groups, the dragonflies, and the wyvern. I should have just healed through it, knowing that the combination can do a lot of damage on a i110 synced group, but I tried to sneak in a holy out of habit. Tank drops before the holy even goes off. Bard asks me what the matter is, I say that the tank went down like a wet paper bag and that I would play defensively. To be fair, I should have left the "wet paper bag" bit out of it. I think the group took offense.

If they had forgiven me and left it alone, it would have been fine. But then the warrior has the nerve to point out that they are item level 127 and that I should be able to keep them up. That set me off. No, you're not i127. In Stone Vigil HM, you're ilvl 110. I admit I made a lapse in judgment, but the attitude combined with my complete lack of any need for the place compelled me to take off.

Also WAR that dont us defensive cooldowns are so very very very squishy, so that may have also been a problem. Soooo many times do i get WAR who constantly use wrath stacks on steel cyclone all the time instead of Inner Beast.......

I have a feeling this might have been a factor as well, but I didn't include it in the post because I wasn't actually watching his cooldowns at the time where he spontaneously collapsed. I would bet that it was almost certainly true with how reckless he was being, though.

To be fair, the first full pull in SV HM simply deals too much damage on the (synched) tank that you will probably have no time for DPSing as a healer, unless it's a Paladin and he uses HG right away. The Wyvern is not stunnable and will frequently drop the tank's health by a large margin using his deadly drive.

But just because so much can go wrong in the very first pull when running with PUGs, I prefer splitting the pull over the risk of wiping.

Agreed. Remembering past clears, I can recall that the wyvern usually forces me to pay more attention to healing because of that drive, even when the pulls aren't massive. If this particular pull happens again, I won't even bother trying to holy unless I see that HG.

Unfort... I was an accidental horror for our two SCHs in Ultima HM. Went in as bard - we have several new people, so I was doing a load of explaining of the diff parts. Se Garuda, run to her back; see blue whirlwind, go center - it turns brown, go to outside; AoEs appear inside, next will be outside (IE, expect runnign in and out), the tethered orbs explanation and running into them with more than one person, yadda yadda. One of the new people asks, "So we run into the orbs solo?", I correct that, go to add more info and........ loads of screens pop up in my face and off I go, completely blind. All I see is a small portion in the corner of my screen not filled with windows become filled with Ultima.

I didn't hit enter when I started typing and pulled -______- *Epic. facepalm.*

I'm so sorry, party! OTL I was just trying to be helpful T^T

On the upside, we pulled it off epically and didn't wipe...
I don't even know how I didn't die from the autorun facepull

/grovel to the SCHs and party...

Was in CT. Half the raid hid behind one comet but just as meteor landed the comet died and basically all but one healer wiped. Smart ass tank with no eye balls said in alliance chat 'why is there no heals I died'. There's a reason why healers hate people sometimes.

LOL! Oh god, the days of LotA. I remember when this happened weekly. Watched one whole alliance drop dead because they all hid behind the same rock. Behemoth is such a jerk, lol.
