Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

I avoided the twisters cast and gave them space, went to cure the tank and someone ran into or got too close to the nearby twisters.... two people blew up and I got..... tossed sideways into the deathwall (instead of in the air). o_O Wasn't close enough to the twister to get tossed up, I guess, but still enough to get sling shot across the arena like a divebomb...

That's what happens normally when someone steps on a Twister near you. The person who actually steps on it is blown up and dies; everyone close to them gets blown outwards.

Ahh, thanks for the clear up - it had always seemed like everyone caught in it would just get tossed in the air along with that person. x.x That's the first time I'd been punted sideways, instead z.z lol

Yeah that phase is crazy for progression/clear parties since people tend to panic for Twisters, but they usually have the decency to die on their own :P

A similar blow-back effect happens in T13 if you are standing too close to someone with a detonating Tempest Wing tether. I'm reminded of T5 if a tank misses grabbing the tether lol.

Ahh twisteeeers

So that means that until now you were the one stepping on it!
Bad cat :v

;-; *mewls pitifully*
Yeah, I've already admitted to getting bish slapped by twisters - I'm normally willing to take ownership of my mistakes and weaknesses ---- but I was sure I've been and seen others tossed up by someone else stepping on a nearby twister, before o_Oa - Or maybe we/they just both registered as being too close to it/stepping on it (not consequential of just one being too close) and I misinterpreted what happened. Ah well z.z

*Sends self to the corner for derping twisters at this point, anyway*

Crystal Tower… extra special times

ST

At Glasya at the part before the jump pads while he has reflect up the dps had a severe tunnel vision and kept attacking as me and my cohealer watch their hp bars dropping fast -.- making us have to work extra hard

WoD

I finally decided to give this a shot on heals…. I couldn’t have picked a better run than this to break me in .
Angra … prolly don’t need to say more huh… no one kept him still and was eye beam blasting everyone in all directions as he spun around the arena, made me think of this www.youtube.com/watch?v=s62msrPjSVY , causing me to always be on the wrong side of double vision most of the time -.- . I also found an important lesson dodging mortal gaze while healing is tougher than watching for it on dps ( I main BLM and I am always able to dodge it with focus target on). I did have focus target on but with Angra running rampant I had to watch hp bars more and took a few gazes (thankfully I was able to get to the cleanse platforms in time)

Five Headed dragon someone has the bright idea to early pull which brings him to the arena entrance and cleaves a good chunk of the alliances. Also about 7 people got locked out since people were still en route from the Xandes trash mob..

Ceberus nothing too bad just learned that wolfs bane poison doesn’t play around…

[SDaemon]

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.

Yeeeaaahhh, we selected a fine time to break you in...

After 5-headed, I couldn't concentrate -.-
We were in the same party, so I can confirm the desk-face slamming of that run... I've been in some bad WoDerp runs, but this was extra special... It had everythign a WoDerp could ask for. Spinning, early DPS pulls, constant aggro loss, slow DPS, mechanic ignoring, aggro fights, death toll count of about a million (I think I raised one of the alliance's healers about a dozen times), Angra wipe, 5 headed wipe, near second wipe for both... and an extra special toss-in of an aggro battle of two tanks in......... Atomos. o_oa?? (I think they were angry about the aggro battle at Angra, at our tank... x.x *just steps back and lets them silently duke it out >_>* Not like that would cause a problem at Atomos, just still strange)
Amazingly, CoD had no real hitch - other than tanks fighting for her aggro, but that isn't anywhere near as much of a prob. It eerily lacked any -real- problems at all... not even a cloud phase problem o___oa *Confused*

Angra, we wiped - tanks were fighting over Aggro in the front (I even saw this till one finally relented to the side) - but then angrah spun sideways, effectively pew-pewing into the crowd and messing up the doublevision location... then another tank tries to grab hate and move him again... but then he's got Angrah pew-pewing into the time piece that the DPS are taking down.... I got pew-pewed in the face in mid-spin... some people didn't move out of Angrah's flare circles a few times, resulting in a few deaths o_Oa One of the flares took I think three people at once - the bound person, a DPS still on Angra and a third if I remember correctly... (might have been just two). Everyone's debuffs were all messed up.
I'm usually good about Mortal Gaze while healing, but found myself forgetting to turn away a few times in desperate healing in the second attempt, myself.

I've never had to duke it out with Cure II vs healing debuff so bad as in the 5 headed dragon....Cure II with Divine Seal was doing 600s on the tank.... I don't remember that happening in other runs, and never that bad even from Twintania >.> Ended up having to leave party healing to Oly at that point just to keep the MT from death (seemed like I was the only one curing at that point o_O started to wonder if people were purposely hoping the tank would die o_o).

Also, lack of shield oath. I think we all know what that leads to. 5-headed was extra fun, that way... *Twitch* Long ranged DPS pulled initially.... then kept pulling aggro off the MT. MT apparently didn't have shield oath on for the majority of that.... it got passed from tank to tank... but I guess near the end he did - or at least enough to hold it at the end.

Cerb... like Oly said, nothing too much happened, except I was a little out of it by then. I guess I get raider's fatigue a little to easily.

All in all, that run was just a rain of chaos and a million deaths. I don't think I've tossed out that many raises between my party and alliances (which I found myself supporting, too x.x which I probably shouldn't have at the extent that I did) in a single run, before...

My comm went straight to our bard */grovel for all the ballads played*

[sciondar]

Ran into a similar situation where the tanks couldn't decide who was main with Angrah and kept spinning him around. When we got to the 5-headed dragon none of the tanks would move despite all buffs being up and everyone present so a DRG did a spear throw to start the fight. We did clear all of WoD but it was a challenge.

Did a Cutter's Cry run for the Chimera card. Biggest waste of 30 minutes ever spent. Tank would never lead any pulls with Flash, which forced me to heal her knowing that the unprovoked mobs would fly towards me. Said tank would also not spam Flash and would only attack one mob at a time unless hate was yanked. Chimera itself was painful to the point that I thought i was in the Crystal Tower. Tank pulled before I could even explain the mechanics. Our BLM and DRG died to the AOEs and died every time I rezzed them. The tank would NEVER run out of the way whenever the Chimera's eyes turned blue. We eventually wiped and managed to do better next round because I was able to tell them how to do the fight.

Then the tank begged for commendations for her mount. I was thinking "Oh hell no! You didn't earn it!", and I passed my commendation to the BLM who at least put the trash mobs to sleep. The entire party gave me commendations though, but no card dropped -_-
