Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

[WingsOfAzrael]

k so i was just in the aery leveling my ast, this summoner that was one of the dps, didn't use bane, didn't react in time enough, on nidhogg they didn't react fast enough or use bane on the mobs wiped 3 times i died twice to fetters cause the summoner wouldn't attack in time, and the summoner just barely dodged aoes after going down to almost no health, so i left.

I'm a bit leveling my Scholar atm to see how this class works.


So I went to "Brüllvolx Langrast" last week (I really dont know how this is called in english x.x)
I didn't have to heal, for my fairy did all the work. So I've spent all my time for DPS....at the first boss I've had to help her healing twice. Everything was fine....but then the whole Party started makeing fun of me.....something like:
"Healer is just lol" or "omg the healer is just rubbish" (to say just the nice ones <.<°)

So I asked them what's going on and what's so funny?
there was one answer given:

"the moment you realize that your fairy heals better than you do!!! Learn how to heal noob"
ehm......whuuuut?
I really didn't get it x . X
Noone has died or even was in danger to!!!!!
So I didn't know what to say and they got along laughing at me....my reaction to it was that I stopped DPS, just stood there doing nothing......pretty sure they would kick me...and they did! ^^

So just to be sure....here's my question:

Have I done something wrong? Isn't it the meaning of SCH to be in Cleric all the time when fairy can do all the healing????

Welcome to the world of playing SCH. A world in which DPS get jealous because you out DPS them, and make them look bad. You did nothing wrong, the people who kicked you were a little silly.

Trying to level up my dark knight, rolled dusk vigil. I pull the first set of trash mobs and I was getting no heals at all. Healer says something to the effect of "I thought I was WHM" (he was AST). Next set of trash mobs, I die AGAIN and the healer said they weren't used to DPS stance dancing and they were also bickering with the DPS. I knew this run was gonna suck so I ate the penalty.

The real horror story is for someone else so I'll preface with a mere headache story from myself.

Last week I was leveling AST and got Haukke Manor with a MRD (not WAR) who was clearly trying but was really struggling to hold any kind of aggro. I had to wait until the poor lalafell was almost dead before starting to heal (essential dignity) to make sure they had a firm lead on aggro. I would still end up with at least one thing on me before they died.
The two dps also occasionally had aggro. It was slow and kind of a headache but we got through it.

So last night I got into Aurum Vale as MCH and thought we were going to have a similar situation. The PLD seemed to know something of what they were doing - they managed to put on shield oath after several bad macro attempts that announced it was on (it wasn't). But the instant the healer started healing them, everything except the one thing they were on went after the healer.
The first healer gave up quickly and we got a nice AST who proceeded to help us struggle through the first room. But the tank seemed to just keep getting worse. They seemed to think that the reason we wiped several times was because the dps weren't focusing on a single target and not because they ran through the middle, aggroing 6 things, 5 of which immediately went after the AST.
I don't know if they didn't get that healing generates aggro... Anyway we made it to the first boss. I was willing to stick it out if they could keep aggro on a single target. Nope. Three heals in and the boss is on the AST, who goes down, followed by me (yes, I was ahead of the tank on aggro). At that point I gave it up and left.
Their gear, btw .. they had the level 42 GC weapon, all the level 45 quest stuff, and a level 40 store bought body piece. The jewelry was just a mess.
The other dps was a monk who was actually wearing the swimsuit top. It wasn't glamoured .. they were actually wearing a lvl 1 piece of armor into AV.

Was leveling my ast on... Monday?(I think) and got brayflox for my leveling roulette, the party was a mrd, a mch, and some other dps that bailed when they saw the tank, we picked up another mch afterwards. So healing this dude is hard I'm spamming bene 2 to keep him alive, we get to second boss, he dies and didn't know how to release. (He had the green bud icon next to name only reason I was still doing this) so afterwards we go clutch mode with the tank dying on the next 2 pulls. We finally get to the last boss, I said to the dude, you NEED to dodge everything you can here, after a grace from the stars above with bole after Bole we make it out alive with me at 0 mp and the tank at like, 10% hp.

Atleast I got a level!

Edit: I was only 32. So no aspected bene

There used to be someone in my fc who wouldnt glamour, just use the equipment. They were one of the worst players I've ever met. Would just up and afk during any fight. Also a huge source of drama. We finally got rid of them and they stalked us for months, even under alts. They would ome hide behind the armorer furnace in our fc house, as if we couldnt see their name.

Brayflox's Longstop

You weren't doing anything wrong, those people were downright stupid.
Speaking of SCH getting random hate, I had a WHM who whined at me because I had too much mana left in the middle of Ultima ex once....

Those people are so stupid. Somehow they think the amount of mana you have equals how much your contribution is. Often get this as a WHM too I guess it sounds more ridiculous to say it to a SCH but even so with anyone I have these situations where the other Healer is constantly starved for mana and I'm doing fine then they start screaming saying I should be doing more and they are carrying the party. No I just have control and mana management skills so I juggle what I need to do with my mana regen CD's. Being constantly starving for mana doesn't make you good or useful it makes you terrible.

[AlphaFox]

I've had people in Alex normal get mad at me (as AST) for having more mana then the whitemage who was spamming Medica/Medica 2 for 1 or 2 people being injured, even with me tossing Ewers at him, attacking and single healing those who needed it. People just don't know how to control themselves and feel if your not out of MP, your doing it wrong.

I got one last night. The Aery. I knew something was up because I'd forgotten to uncheck "In Progress" after doing some PvP. 5 seconds in, I can already tell this is going to be a doozy. The tank didn't dodge AoEs. Not a single one. Didn't even try. He also couldn't hold aggro off of the targets he marked as 1. He's losing them to me. The Bard won't use Wanderer's, nor will he stop singing Mage's, or Army. With everyone at Full TP/MP... The Dragoon liked to stand in front of everything, and eat the same AoEs the tank wouldn't dodge out of.

Boss one. Bard won't get on the boss to avoid the roomwide AoE, nobody except me is even touching the add, which is nomming on my face... The DPS passed preys not to the statues, but to me. Who then had to run them to the statues with adds still nomming on my face. That's if they didn't spawn on the tank, who would just eat them.

Boss two. DRG takes 4 poisons stacks to the face, and I'm the only one even touching the bomb. Bard is doing... whatever the bard is doing. They certainly weren't doing DPS. Tank is still squishy as hell.

The tank manages to get himself killed on the way to the third boss, when he decided to eat three conals. I managed to take all 3 mobs, dodge AoEs, and keep myself alive, so I didn't even bother with the raise.

Final boss. We survived it. Thankfully, I could make up the damage the bard couldn't do, so we managed to save the DRG. The DRG, while derpy, was at least high on DPS, so we didn't wipe. The bard was pretty much useless, the tank couldn't hold aggro on anything, and I had to pop every single CD/pot I had to keep my MP up, because the Bard decided now was a good time for Foe, even though I was the only caster, and spamming heals on the squishy party...
