Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

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?!"
