Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

Ran Levi today, and the other healer kept following me no matter how often I would run away from them, causing unnecessary damage in their wake. There were no new player message for them either so I don't know what was their deal.

Joined an expert dungeon in progress. Saw a tank running ahead before I could use the shortcut and he dies. Mob train then slaughters the DPS. Tank runs off to grab train again and dies again as I die as well. Walked right out of that dungeon.

Hm. Didn't go as a healer, but eh. WoD, CoD. I eat 4 stacks of the lightning because I was a bit slow on the uptake. Stay alive because being overgeared is good from time to time. The next thing I see is a swiftcasted SS on me from my FC's healer.

I think she almost had a heart attack >.<

Another stupid story: she had to use Benediction on me in KotL because my laptop decided that I have to eat AoE's on breakfast, lunch and dinner. I never felt so embarrassed for myself in the game. Think I said sorry to her 10 times before I calmed down.

Ran Levi EX as a healer recently and have had to solo heal the last 20% twice. Once I lagged at one point and spammed Medica and prayed. The other time I didn't lag but I was up to about 11 stacks and had to be right next to whoever I was healing to reach them.

I don't know if this is horror, but I don't get healers that Med2 before pull or spam Med2... I get healers that flat out refuse to use Medica or Medica 2 ... at all ... It is like they are afraid of it ... no matter how much aoe damage is going out (WP First Boss Fire During Spears for example). I have had to sing Mana song so much in Expert Roulette (Sometimes I like to BRD :3) fights because of Cure 2 Spam and Regen on everyone ALL. THE. TIME. Spam. Boss at 50% ... Healer with <100 MP ... What The...?? -Sings- ... -_- Srsly, your not even dpsing or holying or medica spamming... where is your mana going?! :O

o_o This is a thing? You're just talking strictly WHM right? Since you just said "healers" I want to clarify. XD

If the WHM is not using Medica/Medica II than they are gimping themselves. Cure II costs 266MP at level 50. Medica only costs 372. Cure II has a potency of 650, Medica has a potency of 300. Casting Medica twice (600 potency) would take about 5seconds and would cost you 744 MP as opposed to casting Cure II on everyone (650 each) at about 10seconds and 1064 MP. This isn't even including Medica II (3.5second cast time, 452 MP cost, 200 + 500 potency after 30seconds) or Regen (186 MP cost, 1050 potency after 21seconds). Casting Cure II and Regen on everyone would cost you 1808 MP... So I can kind of see where all their MP has gone lol.

Casting Medica II once is generally enough to keep everyone besides the tank alive against the WP HM first boss. I generally just DS + SC Medica II then Regen the tank.

I wasn't the healer but I felt pretty bad for the healers...

So got into a Shiva EX with about 25 minutes till maint. Even one mess up and we'll have time to do it right? I'm a WAR, Pld with 9k health, no new players, seems good.

Pld goes to tank first phase...and almost immediatly loses aggro and can't get it back. I take it, things go ok for the rest. Pld doesn't try to go for it again after so I'm tanking. My WAR literally just hit 50 (I have tank gear from Pld being my first though.), and I have some DPS items on more for ACC than anything else and I'm pretty sure I'm a little squishy even for a WAR. Which isn't helped by people stacking on each other and getting most of the group (including one of the healers dead.) Wipe.

Then we try again. Once more Pld can't keep hate, though this time eventually gets it back. Then they don't turn for the first sword move. This run was our best one getting down to sup-25% but still wipe.

HERE'S WHERE THINGS SUCK.

So third and final try, just barely enough time if we do it right. Things go well, Pld has a little trouble still but keeps aggro for the most part. Get through, I take for second phase, all well...then I get ahead of myself and get smacked with bow. Proclaim sorry, get rezzed, eventually have to take back aggro because the Pld dies. Things go ok again...then I die AGAIN to bow because quess how I moved? Thats right, I didn't! At this point the Pld is dead to because frozen, and most of the group is dead. Sch lb3s...and then we end up wiping anyways despite us all being back, in part cause all but said healer and one dps were double'd weakend.

I feel really bad for them, they were good healers too...

lol, sorry, yes I mean WHM's... but yeah, it isn't just once I've seen this but several times in fact. Medica 2 can be much more promising then spamming Regen (T9 and T13 come into mind ... can you imagine trying to regen everyone after Megaflare or Metor Stream ... not to mention Gigaflare! :O).

I don't know what to say to them so I don't say anything, I probably should, but then I kind of expect "Mind your Biz! I R HEALER!", "Just DPS!" .... in response to it .

Single healing for a bunch of HPs

I've had this happen in Titan EX once, while on bard. THe person was cureing, one at a time, after Titan's jump landing, and during stomps. Needless to say, we were always running around super low on HP and dying/wiping very often at early stages (pre-heart phase >_>). I just didn't understand why we were dying with constant low HP till I watched their habits and realized what they were doing. I had, at one point, been running around at 25% HP - after Second Wind - for quite a while before being tossed a bone. And dying once to stomps because of it.
I was not a happy camper, as a WHM main. It's not hard to medica when necessary.

My derp story : Stone Vigil. 2:30am. Duty finder by myself. The tank pulls three or four mobs into a side room. I follow closely behind to heal - when whoops another set of two dragon aevis come lurking around the corner and i pull the aggro,healing myself, speeding towards the tank - nearly down to 1/3 of my hp before the tank can take them off of me. Bard goes : Lol...duh....
I throw heal after heal (bless Cure II), dancing around, watching my mana and the tanks hp bar burn down like a firecracker...tank and i keep on dancing... like a miracle the tank and i managed to survive... Afterwards we have to wait for my mana to get back (yes WHM problem) the Dps said : Dude most tanks would have died on that one instantly.
Tank and I compliment each other on making it through. The rest of the run was cake. Been long since I´ve been that close to a heart attack outside of coil or extreme modes.
