Solid heals in my immediate party have landed me 7+ kills to ZERO deaths, so I get really disappointed when the healer is absent or just not up to snuff.
Yes, that, or how about when you use all your offensive cooldowns and get slept and watch your timers all count down to 0 while a healer next to you is hard casting DPS spells. We have purify sure but what a waste of something you might need later to survive. Of course if a healer is slept they can't do much so I've used my purify on them when mine was on cooldown, but only want to do that with a healer who you know will u sleep you next time. Had a slaughter match where we took a node down to get the offensive party buff and remounted but the healer was under attack, I dismounted and cast a bind on them all and got slept. The healer however was missed by the sleep AOE and they, along with the rest of the party, got on their mounts and left me standing there slept. I could have easily gotten away with them, but I stood there slept while the binds expired, and then the 4-5 people killed me and I lost my damage boost. All because they couldn't be bothered to cast an esuna/leeches on me. One of the times I think I used a lot of obscenities in alliance chat.
