Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

Cutter's Cry, worm boss. Healer gets the sludge debuff, doesn't cleanse themselves, gets owned by the worm's burrowing attack and dies. Other dps dies shortly after to another burrow.

Can't be cleansed. Divine Seal and Regen pretty much keeps up with the ticks though. Dying from burrow is pretty poor though you can avoid it just by standing at the edge of the arena most of the time.

Fifth try:
Best DPS just left and crazy warrior tank does not care and rushes in. Not enough dps, adds running free, all around chaos.

Vote abbandon happened.

This sums up 90% of Primal EX's in DF. I never get when the Tank just keeps charging in as soon as they are able. Do they think a win will just magically happen if they keep forcing the issue?

You can TOTALLY cleanse sludge.

You can TOTALLY cleanse sludge.

It's weird that I've never done it. Normally I'll esuna something once and see if it comes off so I know either way. Apparently regen made the debuff so irrelevant that I never thought to clense it XD. Or I just assumed it won't come off. I'm seriously laughing my ass off at this because around that level when levelling WHM the first time I spammed Cutter's Cry because I really liked it yet somehow I never knew this fact.

To be fair, you're exactly correct that correct use of Regen/Divine Seal allows you to easily manage the sludge if you don't cleanse. Scholars are also forced to deal with it if they aren't level 40 yet. So it's more of a quality of life thing unless you're trying to heal through it as a black mage or summoner or something.

There we are A4 (the easiest one in my opinion) two DRKs one of the heals said this is a wipe before we started lol I thought oh he's just negative....

Well needless to say no grit just completely DPSing so we are spamming heals like crazy and eventually they loose Argo first goes my partner healer I can't stop healing to swift raise him cause they were eating like 30% dmg a hit, then he took DPS 1 at a time then me, just left the two idiot DRKs standing there wondering why everyone died...

Why are tanks trying to be DPS just stop it especially during raids play your role or at least stance dance but DRKs in general have left a horrible taste in my healers mouth...

Did A1, earlier, and..... right away the party is digging into each other - one of which were using a parser to wave numbers at the rest of the party. I was unamused by those taking part in the argument, after Faust.

We wipe, twice, at Oppressor. First time because I died to ADDs - revived and unable to really get my mp back into a managable rate. I was constantly in a state of panic trying to get cures and medicas out as soon as my mp regen allowed - SoS and Assize at every availability. I also note the other healer was low on MP from raising DPS (as I couldn't do anything but heal) during that time period after my raise. SoS afforded me little more than faster availability to cure/medica - but no actual good mp buildup.
DPS: "omg I've never seen healers wipe the party before"
Me: Dafaq. "We had no MP." (which is true for me, and trying to point out my co-healer's plight as well)
Co-Healer: "wasn't me was other guy."
Me: (in my head, not in chat) ...............way to throw me under the bus.
This pissed me off. It's not like I was sitting on my hands, making them do all the healing.

Second attempt - other healer died somewhere in there to the exact same thing I did (now I hope they understand how I felt -_-), raised them, continue just a little bit longer with people screaming about ADDs and we wipe again from non-mini'd missiles.
Party goes straight to tearing itself apart in .02 seconds and abandons.

I queue again, get a new party and was done in minutes without problems.

[Lunaxia]

Somehow got lumped into an all German Garuda EX party where absolutely no one spoke English, and was full of newbies to boot. We wiped the first few times due to learning the mechanics, and when we finally made it to the next stage after doing really well, someone killed the Satin Plume too early and we wiped again. Then one of the tanks could not hold Garuda/ Suparna for the life of him (even with me throwing up SoS and keeping the casting to an absolute minimum), Suparna ended up taking a big liking to me and I must have wiped a total of six times on several tries to it before I quit. I couldn't communicate and they didn't see what was happening either, so I ended up looking like an idiot to boot.

If this happens I just leave the party. If people want to use a parser to improve themselves and max their DPS awesome. I won't party with people who use it as an e-peen contest tool.

Those must have been young. Most of the older German players and/or those experienced with MMO's speak decent English since they are used to dealing with English players. Not a lot of German players seem to play on German only servers when given the choice. Rarely met Germans where nobody speaks any English usually a couple speak really good English and can explain things in German to the ones who can't. Some French parties can be like this too.

With French players it's different a lot of them pretend they don't speak English regardless then when you are critical of them they magically learn fluent English and start calling you names XD.
