It didn't help that the DRG ate a Chaos Blast to the face going from full to dead...

Had this happen too, also in Sohm Al. I'm not gonna lie, it made me laugh pretty hard. She took *all* of it. TWO circles + the line AOE.

As a diurnal AST I fully use all of my toolkit to heal
And when I hear my co-heal WHM not wanting to use Medica II and regen because of too much enmity produced by those spell...

I just...

/fliptable

I'm not complaining because he do his job, but...
Damn i'm frustrated when you know how powerful SoS is... And how great medica II can be on massive aoe...

Ifrit ex last night in DF just cuz I was bored and love the fight. The other healer was new so I explain the healer debuff, tell him about placement, and all of that good stuff. Tank starts, all dps eat the first eruption while running straight into me as I have inferno howl or whatever it is. They die. We wipe. Start again. I explain to them to stay away from the rebuffed healer(who is marked and standing at a waypoint). Tank pulls and they eat eruption and run into healer. Wipe again. After a few of these wipes, they finally figure it out... Until the new healer gets the debuff and stands in the center of the arena, blowing everyone up. I tell everyone that they should watch a strat vid or read a guide on the fight then EVERYONE starts berating me. We try again and fail. We can't abandon... Nobody is learning... We don't ever get echo. Screw it. I leave duty take the penalty.

I got the same thing everytime i join an ifrit ex PF
And usually I just let him die and proceed to solo heal the fight..

Because it's easier to solo heal the fight than having additionnal damage to take care of...

my co-heal WHM not wanting to use Medica II and regen because of too much enmity produced by those spell...

This was me in i130 in Titan HM. XD

Tank with an i55 weapon?

Yeah. I'ma just Regen him and Medica once every 90 seconds... Shroud isn't enough to save you if the tank is bad/undergeared.

[Nekotee]

Oh undergeared tank is one of the biggest challenge XD

Got one too which was trashing me because I was healing to much for him to keep aggro.
I didnt bother answer because one DPS just put him in his place by pointing that having a low-level weapon and not using shield oath was not the heal fault
And I was surprise to read him praise me for not letting the group wipe.

Please... I'm a healer... You will die only if I let you 8D

Even if I hate those tank... They are a great training in mana management and aggro control.

There were several cases where I refrained from using MDII because people weren't picking up adds and Shrouds won't do shit when I'm the only one with enmity on them.

Nothing is worse than Benediction firing off on a dead corpse though.

I had the displeasure of having this lovely gem in Vault as a healer just now.

That's right, he's using actual i90 myth hat/gloves/pants. The boots are i100.

This glamour-ignorant scholar also had the audacity to try and justify their horrid healing technique after being confronted after a couple wipes to trash.

He was using Cure (Yes, Cure, not Physick) and Lustrate while in Cleric Stance, and said some rubbish about the fairy and Lustrate supposedly being adequate.

I knew then that I would be better off eating the DF penalty rather than try to slog through with this..."healer".

There's nothing wrong with cure for scholars. It has the same potency and MP cost as physic, and is purely a cosmetic choice. It'd be different if Physick caused some sort of proc, but it doesn't. Some argue that it's a waste of a cross class space, but after you take everything you actually need you have a couple spaces left.

Everything else that healer was doing was bad, but casting cure wasn't one of them.

I also choose Cure over Physick because the spell charge sound makes my ears bleed.

[Twilite]

So how to you put up with the sound for SCH only abilities when a good bit of them make the same sound?

[Normalizer]

Some argue that it's a waste of a cross class space, but after you take everything you actually need you have a couple spaces left.

LOL as SCH i have always wished I have more slot xD That's probably not something bad, but just not good either :P
