Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

Sorry, I'm stuck on you having to raise the DRG instead of the SMN getting it... As SMN I usually get 2-3 of the adds (tri-disaster + fester on the first, painflare + garuda on the second, then deathflare on a third) and handle rezzing if needed.

I didn't expect the SMN to raise and I tend to forget that they can.

As an ex SMN
I do expect them to raise if there is one in the party

I know they can pull a huge DPS but they also have a lot of support skill
=> It shouldn't be wasted

Exactly. As a healer I feel the mp hit for every raise. As SMN I only notice if I've had to do several in a row. I make sure the dots are up first but I think swiftcast+res adds more to the party than one more ruin.

Along those lines, 2 stories for today:
As SMN in trial roulette I get Shiva. One of the tanks says they don't remember this fight or how it differs from extreme. We tell them just don't face Shiva towards the party. That's their one job...
Everything goes well until after the adds and then the tank turns her wrong .. and there go both healers. Swiftcast + res on one, virus on Shiva, then start slow res on the other healer. The raised healer doesn't manage to keep MT up, so next is ressing the MT. Reapply dots, aetherflow (thankfully) .. and the second healer is dead again. Swiftcast+res again and fortunately the rest of the fight goes fine.
And the only one who noticed all the raises is the dragoon.

As WHM doing leveling roulette in Cutter's Cry. The run in general was great and the tank was happy to clear everything for xp. The ninja though... He ate every circle aoe. So 2 deaths to non-stunned Shrapnel in the corridors. Not too bad until Chimera. Chimera seemed to know that the ninja was having issues dodging and kept using Ram's Voice over and over and over. Every time - one shot dead ninja. After the second time my mana was starting to run low so I let it rebuild (and for shroud to come off cool down). After the 4th time I just left them there.
