Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

Well, some people hate the thought of anyone falling below 100% HP.. I can't imagine how they are in dungeons.

After checking through all the DPS in that run as well, my friend was horrified beyond words. Both bards were singing ballad (so they never ran out of mana, yay! ...and gimped their damage).. one of those ended as #2 DPS. The other only used Heavy Shot once, Straight Shot 5 times, and Windbite 174 times.. And the ninja never used any of his dots..

Really, we were amazed we got through with only one wipe.

I overheal too, can't explain why but seeing a health bar partially empty nags at me haha

Anyways, horror story

Ran Dzemael Darkhold the other day, A freshly minted Lvl50 tank in regular Ironworks gear and iLvl90 right hand side mostly, a silent dps and a loudmouth 'green leaf' dps haha I was playing AST

Tank and loudmouth dps wanna do a first room farm, (this was a DF Party) not a PF one, so the tank pulls everything, all the mobs on the way to the room, and everything in the room, (it's a butt tonne of hurt tbh) I do a fine job of keeping the tank alive for 1 minute while the dps fail miserably at bringing the huge mobs down, I run out of MP, tank dies, I get called a novice healer!?! apparently, I shouldn't have concentrated on tank specific healing, I should have been spamming Aspected Helios >< (definitely a I wish my fist could punch you hard in the face through your screen moments)

Considering the gear the tank was wearing, I find it really surprising that you ran OoM as an AST 54 (according to lodestone), regardless of the quality of dps.

Once everything's done, I get curious to see what the Astrologian's overhealing looked like.

94%.

o.e

Even on a bad day in raid, my over-healing is never above 40%. This is terrifying.

...

Unless it's PvP. And then my over-healing rate is, like, 99%. X3

Just had an awful tank for Low Level.

I wasn't healing, thank god. But this guy was a level 60 WHM main leveling up PLD, and had no idea how emnity worked. He wasn't flashing, wasn't marking, lost hate to the ACN Bane'ing and lost hate to the healer. Bitched the whole time that the DPS weren't focusing the same target as them. I told them to mark if they didn't want to lose hate and they said they "didn't want to play like a little (censored)". So I just kept attacking ones that went after our ranged so they wouldn't die. Didn't even use Sword Oath even though I pointed out they were missing it twice.

Get to the final boss, doesn't bother to pick up adds or turn off Void Lamps. Nearly wipe because it's Haukke. Managed to live because the ACN started Physicking the healer who was trying to keep themselves alive.

Ugh. That poor level 29 CNJ got my commendation. Poor guy. First run of Haukke and he gets a tank like that.

[Sida]

When I tanked Haukke I asked on the last boss "can you three handle all four lamps?" About half of the groups were "duh, tank shouldn't need to touch them" and about half "why do you ask, just grab one of them". Precisely the reason I asked of course, the divide in playstyles.

Not really a horror story, but I'm still lauging about it.

We were fighting the second boss on Brayflox NM (PuG.) We'd killed the Biast and the Drake was on about 40% when I saw the Machinist running around like he was kiting something. I didn't understand why since we'd already killed the add, until I saw Brayflox chasing after him going "gobbie has present for kindly uplander! shokh!" He spent the whole second half of the fight running away from Brayflox.

When I told him afterwards he didn't need to run away, he said "yeah you do or the goblin blus you up." I said Brayflox doesn't do that and he went "ok you don't know the strat cya f*cking noob" and rage quit.

I can't even

*facepalm*

To be fair, Brayflox will sometimes grab aggro and hide behind someone .. which is very annoying but also amusing.

Actually Brayflox will run to someone and the boss will do a high dmg attack to that person if they don't get away from Brayflox (and hence the boss). Maybe now ppl don't care about that (with high ilvl gear and all) but before it was part of the fight to run away from Brayflox when he run to you.

When she does Provoke, right? I do understand dodging when the drake comes over, but he kept running around the arena in circles the whole time instead of just letting her get to him and go, even when the drake was trained on me.

The three of us were busy going all out gung ho on the boss, and all I could see in the background was the Machinist flailing around trying to run away from a tiny goblin.

The "got angry when we told him Brayflox wasn't trying to kill him" ragequit made it even funnier.
