In my experience, they usually move in closer upon realizing they're out of range. Perhaps I'm a little mean, but if ranged DPSs don't get my card buffs or AOE heals because they're want to be on Mars (even after telling them nicely to move closer), I'll leave them to fend for themselves with a regen.

because "THAT GIANT TONBERRY 1-HITS YOU!!"

I got WP on roulette last week. We were standing there getting hit by the giant tonberry during one set of mobs and it was doing maybe 20-25% to the healer. It was only a one shot at ilvl 70 when it came out.

I had one of those "I died and it was the healers fault, hes legit bad" Run up to that point had them ignoring mechanics. The first fight of the dungeon (Ampador Keep HM) the bard in question and the tank all ate tones of stacks...but I was unable to heal though that on the tank. lol.

Gets to the crashdown room (in vid) wipe because we missed the DPS check. Respawn, go back in, bard pulls mobs while I am rebuffing..dies before I can catch him. And got smart (watch at 3:00)

But I'm bad....to the bone!

I have a healing horror story from a non-healer viewpoint, that I'm more telling because I was impressed with the healers being able to keep me alive through it....

Was running Void Ark earlier and had our tank DC right after we started, (but before any enemies had spawned), the add phase between the second and third bosses, (the one with the three demon dogs). So naturally for our dog, we let the most defensively capable member of the party take over tanking it, right? Of course! And who better to fill that role than me as the MCH, which has what amounts to absolutely no defensive skills or self healing capabilities? Major props to the two random healers I had who managed to keep me from dying while I MCH-tanked that dog until it's death, because as someone who secondaries healer, I know that couldn't have been easy.....

I left the party after that.
It felt too much like a slap in the face to be ignored & left to die like that.
T_T

Don't feel bad. That's how practically every DF DPS seems to act in that boss fight. I've both healed it and DPSed it quite a bit, and it's almost always only people I went in with, or the tank/healer that actually bothers trying to save me if I go up. I've had times where I would say multiple times to the other DPS to help with it, and they don't care about doing anything other than attacking the boss.....

As for the LB thing, I had one run that I was doing as a NIN there where we had a Bard in the group who wasn't exactly spectacular. I told him to LB the dragons at the end of the wipe phase whenever the second one came up, because we weren't doing enough damage to survive. So, what does he do? Absolutely nothing, but says that he'll do it next time. After that we tried again, and when we got to that phase, he once again just stood there attacking like normal. I ended up barely managing to get the melee LB off in time to kill the second dragon and keep us from completely wiping. I honestly don't know what was going on with that Bard, but you'd think that someone who says they understand to do something would, I don't know, understand to do it.....

Don't you love it when you are partying with those kinds of players? Don't acknowledge what I am saying multiple times to just end up ignoring me. Seriously. If that happened to me I would have been fuming. XD

My healing story of horror. As AST going MVP mode!

Savage a2s gone wrong

[Rhyku]

Alex 4, dps constantly eating balls of doom with no care for HP and dropping faster than you could yell "RES!".
No one took Dolls off the healers.

I left after the 4th wipe.

I could be wrong, but isn't the OT supposed to deal with most of the balls? =\
Most runs, I've seen OT just dpsing while all the dps scatter to the wind, eating balls.

[Nekotee]

No the ot in particular
Anyone can take those deadly ball... If they only take one ! (Two at most)
Even healer can because the DoT fade off right at these moment

But doll running on healer means slacking DPS... So baaaaad group !

Alex 4, dps constantly eating balls of doom with no care for HP and dropping faster than you could yell "RES!".

I noticed this recently, also. Two or three DPS will run off to eat the balls, and just run into them until they're dead. We can only heal so many people attempting suicide at one time >_>
And this was on a constant basis... (been grinding it for shafts for the MNK body)
