Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

So I was white maging the first dungeon last night just 'cause and I was placed in a party with a new arcanist. So throughout the dungeon and everything's going smooth, then I notice that the newbie arcanist is healing the tank. I'm confused, I usually take that as a F-you to a healer when a DPS is healing the tank with the excepting being the healer is dead or AFK. They had the little leaf above their head so I assumed this is probably their first dungeon but my lord, did that get annoying fast. He probably thought he was helping a bit by helping me heal but when your Physick is recovering a total of 70HP and my cure is recovering around 300-400HP it becomes unnecessary. I left the dungeon without saying anything to him but I kind of regret it 'cause he'll just carry that odd attitude into other parties which will get him promptly yelled at for attempting to do the healer's job instead of his dps job. Haha, maybe he's getting ready for the scholar role.

Actually, in lower level content as an Arcanist it's actually technically correct to heal after you apply your DoTs.

The difference between the Acn and Whms cure at lower levels won't be that big since you are wearing the same armor for the most part, and once all the DoTs are applied would you rather the Acn spam his 70 potency Ruin and the Whm heal or the Whm spam their 170 potency Stone II and the Acn heal?

Mind you it shouldn't be more than a few GDCs before his DoTs wear off and has to reapply them, but there's a chance that the Acn was actually an experienced player and was replacing some Ruins with Physics so that you could cleric and Stone II for a bit.

I was thinking the same thing. Ruin hits like a feather pillow. Why not let the conj/white mage throw a few Stone II's instead?

A bit late, but, I would just like to point out that at low levels, healers restore 50~100% of HP in one hit, vs multiple needed for ACN (and often they start spamming at 90%). It's still better for the healer to dps, drop out of cleric to throw a heal, then get back into it.

I've been the horror story lately. I keep falling asleep while playing. .___.
