Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

[Fevelle]

DF Ultima's Bane. Party was me (WHM), SCH, PLD, WAR, BRD, BLM, BLM, SMN.

Bard didn't use Foe's Requiem one single time.
Bard died for plumes.
Bard died for Garuda.
Bard got hit by Titan and laser by the boss and died.
Bard died to Ifrit multiple times.
Bard was dead the overall fight.
Bard also didn't help soaking balls and we wiped 7 times because balls were colliding.

Add to this mess: a BLM casting Blizzard 2 at least 2 times/minute, for whatever reason; my co-healer, a SCH with an ilv80 Titan book and overall lv45 acessories and the fact that no one (save me and SMN) knew how to deal with the crashing airships (with the purple waves, just like A1 jump).

7 wipes. Did it with 20% echo + tank LB because the BLMs+BRD didn't help soaking balls and they collided every single time.

I had a run in Wanderer's Palace Hard ... no one would step in the magic circles, thus the boss gained insane damage buffs.

Well to be honest I've never done that with a group that really does the circles we just burn it lol. Thankfully I had all decent groups for my astro relic runs but it helps being way overgeared I guess. Had a new person for the vault but aside from them not knowing mechanics (eating orbs lol) they were decent.

Thinking back to my healing horrors (annoyances really)...mainly revolve around tanks doing big pulls without warning (so everyone is far behind) and never stopping so they die before I can get a heal off lol. My friend had a good time with an annoyingly loud no-cd tank last night in dr ex lol. If you have enough time to complain you can play properly.

I forgot to mention that this was in a roulette, so it was synced. It was still a bad time with people ignoring stuff and causing wipes.

Queued for Leveling Roulette on my SCH hoping for something easy. Get Sohm Al. Tank is good and very paitent, waiting for both Stoneskin and Adlo before each pull. We get to the last boss and healing it is a bit trickier than it felt on my WHM and AST, about 10% left on the boss and the BLM says, "y u not dot more" before promptly standing in 3 different AoEs and dying faster than I can Lustrate.

Gee. Maybe that's why.

Nice to see you back as a Miqo'te. lol

Yeah, in situations like that I would generally tell the DPS off after he stood in the AoEs. Buuut I've kinda gotten fed up with being treated like a miracle worker so I don't old back anymore. >_>

There is never any time to do anything else in that fight. Geez people who never healed need pick it up sometime and learn the truth..

Same.....same....

Also when I miss the tank with collective unconscious by a hair while trying to also get the def buff on the DPS too.... and they just will NOT get the hell in one gaddamn quarter of a step. :|
Seriously, they're so close they have a glowing bubble pressed against their face and burning their retnas. :|
This has happened, so many times...
I wish I could give them that gif's expression, as I stare at them from my bubble....

I can't count the amount of bards/machinists using B4B during Thordie ex with my hands and toes anymore. Using B4B during the last AoE phase or Ancient Quagas after the chains+ice+meteor+otherstuffIforgot and deciding to just, you know, put up a tent and sit right outside the range of the bubble.
And then they wonder why they die when people kill each other just before that and expect me to just soloheal all that + their mistakes.
Now that's when I over-rustle.

Decided to run some A4 on AST for relic items in df. Holy mother of god it was bad.

One group, the MT decided to run around doing other stuff whilst tanking, like orbs, triple tethers and adds. This meant that they were not holding aggro, the OT was in quarantine, so the boss just murdered everyone down the list when the MT lost aggro. MT wasnt new, just bad.

Another group, the SCH kept running on top of me when nisi was out, guess what instant wipe. Turned out they were new, but didnt say anything. Lover people like this, content with wiping groups rather than ask for tactics etc at the start.

Another group no one did anything with the adds, except the darknight OT, but they were usually in quarantine when adds spawned, but when they came back they did their damnedest to get the adds under control. Sadly it was usually too late as they had murdered one healer and were on the rampage after the other.

Another group mechanics were just bad. Several people going after the same orbs, all getting hit by the aoe and no one holding back to wait for heals. Wipe after wipe after wipe. Funny because i was managing one set of orbs by myself, whilst the OT was handling the other set, yet people just kept on following myself or OT and die a lot. Also tethers not handled and mass deaths.

I gave up after 4 runs taking 70-80 mins to complete......i just wanted those 4 tokens to complete another set of 10.

mfw people call me out for not dps'ing and the entire reason is because they're standing in 9 flavors of stupid:
