Yikes, CT debauchery is always abound. Last night I was saddled with a tank really struggling with enmity in Stone Vigil (in progress, should have known!). Things were mess, Aevis' and Ice Sprites giving me hugs and all that, but we powered through. Got to Isgebind, where DPS were consistently cleaved with Frost Breath (ouch) and the tank ended up dying to one of the floor AoE's. Tanking fell to me, though I was able to Shroud it off once it came off CD. Rezzed the tank, who never 'voked the boss back, the melee LB'd and we made it through. At least for all my troubles I got 3 commends.

World of Darkness... Second Boss (Five-Headed Dragon) ...

~ People didn't switched Targets when they got targeted by Fire Adds. (Curse you, Ressurection costs 800 MP each time!)
~ Run into the Player who gets sneezed (Oh ya, I believe I can flyyyyyyyyy...) - (Mass Spamming Succor oh yay <_<)
~ Not killing Slimes or the Adds at all = Silenced (The Horror for every Healer here, being unable to cast and just standing there, watching every Player getting killed...)
~ ALWAYS, ALWAYS the goddayum same People who get killed during Heatwave... I refuse to revive them simply because they have some heavy sort of ADHS ...

Last Thing, stack together when the Boss readies his Ultimative Attack after the Heads are killed. I'm not casting Sacred Soil for myself alone Q_Q

TL : DR :

World of Darkness is the Horror of every Healer, every Boss has its own "HEALER?!LOLROFLKKTHXBAI" moment and it's always the same Situation ... always.

Get into a Garuda HM helping an FC mate get a relic. The healers and tanks are all FC members we only pugged the 4 dps which were 2 bards and 2 black mages. Ask if anyone is first time and needs tips/pointers/explanations. Get some snide comment from a dps about 'they will figure it out'.

That dps totes ends up being the first one dying of course, and getting the pillars hit with friction. No one went for plumes either. So much of it was like, everything dps is NOT supposed to do on this fight.

One of our FC tanks had some trouble with sisters the like, two times we ever even got to that phase.... but overall, everything felt very....sloooooow. And I had to keep ressing people, chewing trough my mana. Then I start looking a bit closer at the party list- two damned bards and two black mages right? Neither bard was using foe's for the black mages or mage ballad after I and my healing partner were oom from ressing their asses. Sitting there full mp.

We wiped several times. Someone vote abandon. I had to reassure my tank that it wasn't really him screwing up, poor guy had a huge confidence loss. We requeue and then get a competent group of dps and oneshot her.

I was running a Garuda EX farm the other day in attempt to get Nightmare. It was solo tank, solo heal, burn strat, so I had set the ilevel to i115 expecting 6 DPS to, you know, be able to push Garuda fairly easily.

We were failing to meet this set DPS check consistently, so I started by popping Presence of Mind and Stone II-ing Garuda for 15 seconds while the Spiny was up. We were meeting the DPS check more often, but we still would fail it fairly often.

The tank started flipping out at everyone saying that in the 15 seconds I DPSed was bringing my total DPS numbers for the whole fight up into 2nd or 3rd place every single run. Apparently a lot of our DPS were doing below 175 in i115 in a burn farm party.

After 5 hours of putting up with people not being able to DPS enough and not seeing Nightmare drop once, I decided to end the farm party and I plan on never doing that ever again. -.-"

Was doing Guildhests today on my SCH.

Got the first one you ever get, the level 10 one. Have one cross class ability. On my SCH that ability is Cleric. Eos/Selene can easily solo heal the dungeons up to Haukke (but only the first two have me missing Protect as a SCH). However, having a 3rd DPS from my Cleric is more than noticeable. So Protect < Cleric on SCH. Not even a big deal. It's not like it even has +Magic Def right now anyway.

Punk ass Bard decides to tell me that I clearly don't know how to play healer.

Not the first time that this has happened, it's actually the 3rd day in a row I've heard this crap from a random DPS, usually one who doesn't even have CNJ or ACN past level 15.

Decided to ask all of the t13/savage coil Scholars I know to get their opinion. They all tell me the same thing; Cleric Stance always.

Ignorant DPS make me angry. >.>

He doesn't know you can totally DPS the hell out of Monsters if you just decide to use Drain --> Ruin II --> Drain --> Ruin II --> Drain --> Ruin II when the Aetherflow Buff is available again.
Critical Energy Drains hurt a lot ... I hit around 700-800 each Crit I do with that in Cleric Stance.

Did Titan HM today (Cleared Ex anyway but not doing it again ... <_<***) with all my Macros available (Party Chat is basically getting spammed by me).
Got blamed why I used Succor before Titan lands after jumping to his next Phases by a BLM ... guess what? It ain't my fault that Guy is on the opposite Side of the Field while 6 People including me are stacked together in Sacred Soil followed with Succor.

BLM is too far away and runs opposite way --> Doesn't get hit by Succor --> No Damage mitigation --> Panflake ...

Basically the only Guy in the Trial who does not read the Party Chat. All my Macros are suited for Titan and yet, whenever I casted a Macro'ed Sacred Soil with a Succor in it, the Guy simply does not stand in the Shield...

Syrcus Tower Horror ... (Weekly Quest)

WHM seriously blamed me on my Low Heals as a SCH. I highly doubt landing a 2.100 Critical hit with Adlo on the unbuffed Tank is considered low while that Guy just casted Regena to keep the Party up.
The best thing he did...blaming my AoE Eos Heal to hit lower then his Resedra. Unbuffed it hits around 280-300. His Resedra hits for around 150-200 (I highly doubt Divine Seal adds more to that...).

Let's combine Rouse and Illumination plus Whispering Dawn in a Macro... it looks like this :

/macroicon "Succor"
/pac "Fey Illumination" <me>
/ac "Succor" <me>
/wait 3
/ac "Rouse" <me>
/pac "Whispering Dawn" <me>

20% more Heal Increase by Fey Illumination adds much to Succor but wait... guy forgot ... I also use Rouse by this ... this is a total of 60% Heal Increase.

Suddenly my Heals were ticking around 480-520 each tick. This Guy just held his Hands during the entire Run (This Stuff happened at Scylla) and guess what, he also got killed by Amon 4 times even by Climax <_<*

Ran Copperbell HM a few days ago. Wiped 6 times (wasn't my fault!).

Tank liked to run ahead with sprint. DPS didn't remember the dungeon very well. And I sighed a lot.

4 of the wipes were on the first boss. DPS weren't killing the bombs. One of the wipes was partially the tank's fault (brought all mobs to end expecting the DPS to AoE them all despite them not AoEing at all before the boss. This was the third attempt as well). Finally get past that part.

Running to second boss, we break the boulder and whatnot. Tank proceeds to run ahead and wait at the boss room without killing any of the adds. DPS were attacking, but follow. I couldn't keep DPS up so they die, then I die, then tank dies (because didn't get the mobs off us).

Wipe on 2nd boss one time.

Fine up to final boss.

Final boss: no wipe, but one DPS wasted all the cyrstal rock things when the worm wasn't looking for fodder. Ended up spamming AoE heals for half the fight because of it. But we won at least.

I know that situation lol ...
Also that awkward moment when everyone is not moving and seemingly waiting for protect until you say you don't have it xD

That's on DPS. Not sure why they were attacking the adds, if you just attack the rock all the adds run away

+Sastasha starts

+Pop Atherflow and Cleric

+Everyone is standing there

+Scoot up toward the bat, spin in circles

Tank: "Protect, SCH?"

Me: "I don't have it, it's my second cross class. I only have one in this dungeon, which is Cleric."

Random DPS: "Y u do dis mofo?"

Me: "Because Eos can easily solo heal this and its not needed at all and wouldn't you rather have an extra DPS? Trust me, it'll be okay."

Tank: "You're a healer, you should be healing first. You're stupid. I don't trust you to heal me."

Me: "I'm not going to be healing you, Eos is... the whole dungeon. Really, it's going to be fine. I've always done the first couple dungeons like this, you won't even notice."

+Long silence, no one moves.

+Is kicked

+Flips table
