Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

Back on the "bad groups to be in" stories. I'm really hating on Bards that don't use any of their songs. In the grand scheme of things you can tell when a Bard isn't doing it's job because their MP will be full all the time. A lot of this comes from there being no practical use for the songs in solo play. Not even the Job quests give any reason to use them.

I normally play Whitemage but occasionally I bring my Bard to a duty. For normal dungeons it's really not necessary to use my songs. Only times I use them is on a long boss fight and I see the healer's mana dropping low. I've met with mixed results.

Either
A. Healer doesn't notice it at all that he gets his mana back up.
B. He thanks me for it.
C. Basically pretty rude about having enough mana, so he doesn't need the *beep beep beep* ballad.

So yeah. Don't always blame the Bard for not playing songs. Some healers can be pretty toxic.
