Solohealed Titan HM for my fc after someone fell off pretty early, on two separate occasions. They go with me to help my bard get a relic and I get thrown off in about two minutes.

I'm confused by this, honestly.

Oh, I dont mean anything on numbers, just that as someone who doesn't play Healer jobs, I find myself healing people more often on my BLM than my Healer jobs.

So for once I saw the other side of the spectrum...

Trial Roulette: Mog.

After one wipe, Healer comments: "just keep the boss away from munching the healer's face"
Healer then casts Medica II before we even start :|
Mogs run their way (I wonder why :v)
Hell, even king runs the way a min later
Healer dies
Healer comments: "are you guys new to this fight?"
... I need a /facepalm ... =___(\

They didn't even notice the tanks were undergeared in comparison to them... I mean, tanking Medica II prepull is already troublesome on similar level :/

It's rare, but I've had such things happen to me too.

My healing horror story was....me. Levelling whm, I main tank. Had been grinding all day and was 3am, should have gone to bed. Rolled low level dr and got cutters, never healed it before. Tank starts off and pulls first 3 mobs and marks them. DPS attacks wrong mark and grabs hate, tank ignores him, which is fair enough, I decide to ignore him as well and let him fight it out. As his health drops, I have a change of mind and go to heal him...too late he dies. I focus back on the tank, oops...health low.....he drops.

3 mobs in and all hell is breaking loose.. Moral of the story, sleep before playing healer, this aint no simple dps role here!

I have plenty of stories that were just epic fails or moments of pure rage for me as the healer. Most were on trials like Ramuh or Shiva EX. One in particular happened on Ramuh EX where both tanks didn't collect the orbs and got one shot killed, so this dps goes and says, "Where are the healers?" Uh...we're over here having a tea party obviously, totally not raising our dumbass tanks and dps who cant dodge or not stack on each other when lightning bolts strike. Healers get the shit end of the stick most of the time, we're damned if we heal and damned if we try to dps when everyone's HP is full.

I was in TotoFuck as whm. After he pulled second group of mobs tank stops and says "healer why aren't you healing me"
"Wat"
"My health was half down. Kick this shit healer"
Everyone ignored him and when he finally pulled the next mobs I left when his hp was half empty I guess I was a sick but I can't even. This happens too often.

Playing as healer really makes me hate people in this game sometimes, and I'm thinking of retiring from the healer role. Why support others who in no way support you? Example first time I ran Qarn HM- said it was first time- tank pulls all the way to the first boss and the incoming damage has him going from full to < 25% HP every second or so, I had to blow through all my Lustrates and cooldowns in the first 10 seconds and still not the amount of incoming damage was enough to lower his HP to from full to almost nothing in well under 1 GCD. I told him the pull was too big for the level we were geared at and there was just too much incoming damage, and we ended up wiping. The tank was like- great I guess we have to do this the slow way as if it's my fault and I'm only capable of handling one enemy at a time. Oh and this is where he finally said it was his first time.

I'm like wait a minute, you've never run this dungeon and yet with no knowledge of what's here you expect me to be able to heal through anything you pull regardless of how much damage it puts out? And he said yeah and that he'd have been able to do it, because he'd healed pulls up to the first boss on AK and Halatali (or maybe it was Brayflox HM, doesn't matter because it's not the same damn dungeon). People act like tanks do all the hard work in these lvl 50 dungeons when all half of them do is run through pulling everything like a level 30 player running through Sylphlands and expecting the healer to keep them up no matter what they pull. Of course the DPS's don't say anything, we clear the dungeon with me keeping everyone healed except the tank died once when he didn't leave the quicksand and went all the way under. 0 commendations of course which is kind of an FU to healers in that situation, I expected none from the tank of course because he was a total asshole, but it's an annoying thing when you have to go on the defensive from another player, do your job really well (first time no less) and get 0 kind of support from anyone.

And this is why from now on, I will have no second thoughts about abandoning teams such as this the first time the tank even looks at me the wrong way. The DPS's can wait 45 min in queue all over again if they want because it's not like they're so supportive when you get an asshole tank and they just stand in the background and blend in.

I haven't really had many horror moments on this character thankfully, for the most part everyone has been encouraging and patient when I say I'm new to a dungeon or whatever. But I started another healing character on a different server to level with my husband on his days off and we've yet to have a good group. Last night we unlock Thousand Maws so we queue for it. From the first, the tank focuses on only one mob. I get yelled at when I pull hate (I waited to cure until he was at 30%). We make it to the boss that slows, and of course I get the adds. Tank won't grab them. Other dps has a tank so he's trying to explain what moves he should be using, and he gets yelled at too. Tank says he already knows what he's doing so stfu. Meanwhile, chat is also being flooded with *Tank beckons to mob* over and over again. That was him trying to take the adds off of me. I tried to tell him that wouldn't work, but he was having none of it. It was kind of amusing. I don't know how we cleared it.

I.... I don't even know what to say to that
