Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

[VanilleFang]

Not really a horror story but:

I was doing a run of Cutter's Cry as a SCH and the run was going very well. Everyone did what they had to and everything died quickly (especially the first boss)but then things got... interesting on the Chimera.

It was going normal at first, just dps and avoid AoEs, but when its eyes burned blue the Ninja didn;t get out fast enough and was one shot. So I rezzed (hard cast. No Swiftcast.) him, and he stated that he was stupid for waiting so long. I said it was fine, the boss isn't hard.

Well, the next time its eyes burned blue (like right after I rezzed the NIN) he was one shot by it again. He thought he got out in time (and to me it look like he did too but w/e) So I was rezzing him but I had to move during mid cast, so I had to recast it and by this time I got him up the tank was down. So I rezzed him, and then the BLM was down. Then the Tank died again.

So the whole fight I'm just trying to just keep moving and trying to find time to hard-cast all these resurrections and healing whoever needs it so they don't fall (again). Eos was a big help because she kept me up. Well, I got one on the tank, he grabbed and pulled the boss, then I got the BLM. Everyone got healed up and I still had good MP so I just focused on healing and shielding the team while they burned through the last 1/3rd of its health.

I got all 3 commendations, all without dying and all with out Swiftcast (since I set it for level 50). It was fun and a real test of my skill as a healer.

I wonder the same thing myself. Did they pay for the account? Or are they just that clueless to the basic mechanics of the game that they, some how, got carried through all the content to get here?

WoD is actually easy once you get the mechanics down. As you stated, nothing is particularly difficult that you have to do there. And if everyone knows what they are doing (its been a long time since this was a thing) its almost as easy as ST.

A big examples of this is the first boss. Once everyone knows what to do he doesn't take that long and does next to no damage. Otherwise everyone is dying all the time. And no one seems to want to bother with mechanics these days. :|
