Healer pet pee peeves

[Culfinrandir]

When I Swiftcast raise you (along with the macro telling you I have) and you either don't accept so we're down one member or you go back to your home point / the dungeon beginning (during a boss fight).

Why ignore the pop-up? Argh.

-Tank that run ahead without letting me cast any single buff, not using any cd on hard pulls, undergeared but acts like a pro
-Co-Healer that complains that Tanks didn't do their job grabbing aggro when he/she casting Medica II before pulling. (Happens a lot in Trial Roulette lately, especially Thornmarch)
-DPS that keeps dying with the same mechanics, out of range of healing, refuse to AoE

Sums up my DF experience so far

Pre-casting Medica is one that really gets me. Frustrating to no end. It is not a mitigation spell.

I think the big one for me is a healer who does not have a raise macro set-up. A sound, text, SOMETHING to tell me your going to raise the downed person so we don't both blow a huge chunk of our mp raising the same person. Some dungeons or fights I will even offer up to do the first raise just in case it happens, then we still end up both casting it.

Obviously have no time to DPS in big pull? (!!BONUS POINTS!!) And you're not a White Mage? DPS ANYWAY!!!

This seriously needs to stop. :|

Horrible DPS. And I mean that literally.

I only became aware of this one recently. The first notable occasion was when a Satasha run (which has previously taken 40 minutes for me) suddenly took half that. At which point I became painfully aware of just how slowly mobs often died in DF runs. It's probably not a coincidence that my runs as SMN are usually quicker then my runs as SCH. Heck, I leveled up ACN and started double-maining SMN/SCH BECAUSE I kept getting DPS for a dungeon needed for the MSQ who seemingly just couldn't handle the mechanics. I suspect I have a far easier time beating Garuda when she comes up while queing as a SMN for the same reason, when as a WHM it got to the point that I had to recruit of the help of my FC (the dungeon later in the MSQ was the final straw that led to me leveling up ACN. No regrets, SMN/SCH is extremely fun, especially the former.)

I used to be pretty opposed to DPSing as a healer, but that was before I started playing SMN. Now, if things aren't dying quick enough, I have far less compunctions against switching to Cleric Stance a.k.a SMN Mode as a SCH in order to burn mobs more quickly (I <3 Bane). Unfortunately, that speaks less to my skill as a healer, and more to the lack of such on the part of the DPS. If the healer is needed to pick up the slack like that, there's probably a problem somewhere with the DPS.

When in doubt, cast medica 2
The WHM motto.

*silently fumes*

omg YES.
YEEEESS

[Muahbec]

WHMs who seem forget that protect has the proshell trait for everyone now
i(sch) cast protect so the WHM can cast stoneskin2 ...what does he do? waste almost 10 seconds REAPPLYING protect + stoneskin2
Are you serious?

Also, DPSs who insist to stay away from my AOEs makes me want to let them die.

Healers that don't DPS at all! You are standing there doing nothing all this time! Got a player I grouped up with with Ilvl 180 with alex weapon doing nothing. I go a lil anoyed at told them "can you stance dance". Another thing that got me the other day is a healer that over heals I am a lvl 55 Whm and I was playing The the lvl 55 dungeon and I was grouped with a tank that am sure he was lvl 60 and got upset bc the way I heal I refuse to over heal I always try to wait till 80 or 75% to starl healing someone so I can dps. And I always try to not heal to 100%.

I always do DPS as healer in low level as the legit low level players have terrible DPS compared to synched players, As a WHM i had the most HP doing Satasha. I'm lvl 55 now and I'll dps where i can in the 52 dungeon, once you overgear you can lay down Regen and asylum and go DPS for a while.
