Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

Got a level-sync'd WAR on a Tam-Tara roulette last week. She had no armor. Really. Her chest piece was the Moonfire Faire white swimsuit. No glamour.

She apologized for her crappy armor. We started the run. Our AST kept her alive! Awesome! And fortunately, at the first set of orbs, the Soulcutter dropped a Plundered Cuirass. You never saw 3 players hit "PASS" so quickly.

I remember my very first time in A2 when it first came out... I was told that dps was suuuper important so I had to solo heal the whole thing as sch (180ilvl at the time), while the whm was in the gobwalker. ._. It was fine until final phase where I kept ooming from the healing needed, and we kept wiping at last phase... Was told I needed better mana management... ;-; eventually a dps did the gobwalker instead and we cleared it.

Yeah T_T At least these days you can use Selene's party-wide cleanse, but before HW? I really don't like those dungeons that have a strict "No Leeches! :C" policy.

LOL! I remember. That was always fun. Tank: 'We wiped cause this newbie healer didn't cleanse me! WTF is up with that?!' Me: 'Erm, Scholar here. No cleanse yet...' Tank: 'Aren't you a healer? Can't you take the cleanse from Conjurers?' Me: *looks down, looks up, scuffs toe in dirt* 'Nope...'

Self-made horror...
......I need to stop playing at 3am. Went into the 'More than a feeler' hest, on an alt, and completely forgot to heal the tank, while popping bubbles. ._.
*Sits in a corner, lays down, and dies.*

Went back in again, to do it over and do it right, but.... Argh

The shame has never felt so heavy....

I always found Cutter's Cry worse with SCH, since you can enter it at 39, one level before you get Leeches. Two of the bosses there have some pretty strong debuffs, and there's always someone who doesn't pay attention with the Chimera and gets Paralyzed.

Fortunately, once you hit 40 it's a lot easier.

Today's horror story:
I want to farm ponies, I've been trying to get Ramuh's pony for a while but I always lose rolls ;-;
Anyway! So I join this unsynched party for pony farm as a white mage...
Now. I have no idea about those unsynch strategies that forgets orbs, but in the last phase the MT had those terrible 3 red stacks and didn't swap Ramuh with the OT (who wasn't getting orbs) so I try my best to keep him alive (even using benediction and tetra), a cure II would heal 200 hp.
Then of course I got the rolling thunder + paralysis and no one freed me.
After the first kill (acquired with sweat and blood after 5 wipes, mt decides to use vit jewelry because, yeah, that will make a difference), I just left the party and turned off my computer.
Now I am sitting here frustrated with myself because I feel bad for leaving.

Ran Expert as SCH the other night with a PLD, DRG, and MCH. Got Neverreap.

I notice early on that the PLD stops attacking occasionally to cast Clemency for no reason.

As a a PLD myself, I hate when they do that or constantly cast stoneskin on themselves like its a cooldown (It is not). Clemency casting time is too long at 3s, and costs so much MP that you're likely healed by a healer in the time you cast. Plus you can't block while casting, it is subject to interruption, and most of all it is a DPS loss which could lead to loss aggro in a solo tank situation.

It also serves to infuriate your healer.

On Chrysalis I keep getting tanks that constantly stop to use Stoneskin for when Spark comes up, I feel like saying "have a little faith in me, will you?!"

[Spoekes]

I find casting SS as a PLD on double or triple Spark (or similar situations) to be totally okay.
Many healers don't SS for that, precast timed heals for that or even start healing too late.

This is smart imo, the boss is not auto attacking during the casts anyway, why would you be infuriated by that?
Notice it once, stay in CS a GCD longer or do something else.

k so in a rav ex farm group
main tank during adds phase faces rav to the party (it was 2 tanks not party soak) turns it back around, then takes not 1 taspya like you're suppose to, but two to the face,and blames it on "weak heals"
