    Wow. That LotA run sounds like hell. I couldn't even imagine. I'd probably just drop it and come back later.

    Also hate when people decide to throw on crafting gear to soulbind, not only without telling anyone but also compounded with the fact that every single one I've ever had do this didn't even try to pull their own weight or do mechanics.

    Okay that Tank of yours surely was pissed, but that looked like something fun to watch.

    Not really my healer horror story (I have some but they are reeeeeeeally old), but I am leveling ninja so I joined the low level roulette for bonus. I get brayflox, with 3 new players.
    I don't mind new players, I love to help... We start, the conjurer (I realized it was conjurer a bit late) proceed to heal with cleric stance on and the tank didn't flash. I immediately said to the healer to remove CS and explained why... I got ignored. First boss wipe, we revive, healer put CS on again. I remind again about CS but I get ignored again. We kill the boss, and we wipe on the next trash. After reviving, healer forgets CS (but not for long, just enough to reach the other boss and diligently apply CS again). We beat the boss without wiping and proceed to the next room... The bard decides to pull extra enemies, healer panic and starts spamming medica, I try to save the healer but once I get aggro the tank won't take it from me... Result as you guess is a wipe, anyway in a way or another we get to the next boss and we kill it with no problems.
    We finally arrive to the last boss, I explain everything about the strategy but I don't get any reply... We wipe a minimum of 8 times until we are at 3 minutes left on the timer... I just gave up, I couldn't take it anymore ;_;
    I seriously hope that they didn't listen because they didn't understand the language or had another chat log selected (full E party, but I am aware that people may not know English anyway).


    As for my own horror story... Well, I need to go a bit back in time, when the light farming for nexus started.
    I was confident enough to heal trials as a scholar in df, so I queued for the trial roulette and got Titan hm. As I said, I was confident... Until the black mage pulled and died, a bit of chaos later and the tank had Titan. Ok, no problem, swiftcast+res black mage (even if I would come to realize it was a mistake).
    People seems to think that they are invincible and don't dodge plumes, more deaths... Both me and the other healer try to keep everyone alive, between people eating bombs, plumes and everything they can. We wipe.
    First thing I read in party chat is "scholar, heal. Do you know what {adloquium} is?" Yes, I know what it is. I was using it. Then another message "don't bother raising dead people" and I am like, ok.
    Second try, my cohealer dies immediately, I raise him because I realize that probably I won't be able to soloheal if people don't dodge anything. Fast forward to post heart phase, the tank turns toward me and I get a mountain buster in the face and die, the other healer dies because of plumes (as everyone else).
    I get blamed for the wipe, and called names, the black mage (yep, I really hated that guy so I remember him) even says "I wasn't raised ".
    I decided to leave the duty, I didn't care about the 30 minutes penality, as my confidence in healing just disappeared. Ofc my fc was able to restore it when we made a group for Titan ex runs and I healed with no problems

    My GLD tank just now was so bad, that my WHM Chocobo plushie that sits on my desk suffers from post traumatic stress disorder from now on! He tanked with Provoke only, didn't used Flash, didn't answer when I asked him if he needs tanking tips, just kept standing in Thunderclaps water the whole fight, got blown up by bombs because he thought I can heal that and everyone else had aggro, just not him! Excuse while I go cry under the shower, so my neighbours can't hear me...

    I was the horror. I just came back from traveling for a week - I had been using my laptop to do daily ixali, but it wasn't really enough for combat. Decided to heal ex roulette with a friend.

    The tank let us know he was i90 only, so we were in for some fun. He had trouble holding hate, understandably.. But on the first boss, I ate the lightning three times. First time, blm friend managed to keep me alive with a well timed mdef buff.. Died the next two (we wiped once). I only ever saw the marker once (which I dodged).. I don't know if being away killed me attention or what, but I never ever saw the marks..

    People always cry that this game is so easy and how people need to do the Coil because it's so easy.


    But none of them have done the Crystal Tower raids on a daily basis. Those raids will test you FAR more than any silly EX or Coil run.

    It was a new SCH, still wearing that i50 gear you got from your class quests, in an ST run.

    I was BRD, so I hang around the back.

    This SCH keeps on spamming Succor and Sacred soil on top of me. Even when there's no damage incoming. You heard that right. Sacred. Soil.

    While the WHM desperately heals the tank alone. The Succors never made it to the tank at all. When he mentions the SCH wasting her mana, the SCH was all

    "I want galvanize for everybody."

    *headdesk

    Did I mention she was panic healing? I didn't see Physics once at all. Just... more sacred soil...

    Was getting my relic on my alt's Scholar (i62), Titan HM time.

    Everyone was new except for me. EVERYONE. Tanks, other healer, and DPS (well one of them had a relic and more HP than the tanks, but that bard was always the first to drop because of not getting out of plumes in time).

    Technically my character was new, but I know the fight like the back of my hand :P

    So we start. Phase one no issue of course. Phase 2, half of them didn't understand the first set of bombs. Then half die from plumes. Wipe in phase 3. Gaols not being burned. Main tank was standing too far and fell when floor broke.

    Second attempt got a bit further, but wipe around the same part. Main tank died again the same way at same point. Other tank takes over. Wipe (other healer dead, DPS dead, I don't have swiftcast).

    3rd attempt (now with 10% echo) we get further still, but wipe at heart phase.

    4th attempt I try to explain bombs, but tank pulls before I can. Wipe at heart phase. Still not killing Gaols fast enough (and not ignoring second gaol)

    5th attempt 30% echo. I explained bombs and told them to follow me around if they still weren't sure. (marked myself). Beat heart, I placed a waymark for main tank to stand on (safe area from bombs). Wipe because of column bombs, tank also didn't sit tight on the mark as close to the edge as possible like I told him.

    6th attempt 40% echo. We win. Tank stayed on the mark that I placed, no bombs hit him except for the cross sets. Other healer died soon after heart phase. One bard shoved off by landslide. Solo healed the rest with my i55 book lol. Couldn't raise because MP and no swiftcast lol.

    Two or three commendations. Woo.

    *Edit added tidbit about gaols.

    That bard sounds like me

    Died four times. Could *not* see the damn markers in time to save myself. Response time bad. Computer sucks.

    I said leave me dead damn it.

    Nope, the game is really easy. That doesn't change just because there is a large number of crappy players.
