I'll admit to agreeing xD

Like...

about a month-ish? ago.... DFed into Seph HM for funsies on AST, a few times..... nothing too eventful - Decided to DF in one more time into Seph and-


SUDDENLY-
A Sephirot to the faces.

Someone had pulled, long range, before the other healer and I could finish buffing or doing what we needed to do.... he killed the other healer, the tanks, a DPS or two? and I'm benefic/helios spamming the daylights out of the DRG and everyone, with Lightspeed, that ended up tanking him.... All I remember was the DRG tanking him for a little bit of time (besides Seph bouncing around between people), since I remember thinking "whelp, DRG does have the armor of the DPSes....? >.> Just please don't tank the floor, too ;-;" and the healer being one of the first to go splat. x.x The finer details are too hard to remember.... everyone's just a bouncing lifebar when I'm panicking with a giant boss in my face o_o

It was an obscene heart attack, and was hoping the whole time that I wouldn't grab hate with my required heal spams between the DRG tanking, the tank busters and the AoE stomps (just in time to take a tank buster to the face, I'm sure) but we managed to get our feet back under us and regroup, amidst the fight x_x
And I won't lie... it was fun as hfjdks :x

I find it fun when an easy fight suddenly jumps to unpredictability....

^ This describes probably about 25% of my Titan HMs when I get it for Trial DR. lol. Haven't had that kind of fun in Sephi HM yet though.

[EDIT] Speak of the devil, it just occured.. heh

Just left an expert roulette at the second pull. I usually run that dungeon every other day, I always do it as scholar and it never gave me issues.
Today's tank was weak. And I mean *weak* even if they were trying. We wiped twice, all the fault was apparently *mine*, not of dps not actually killing monsters and the tank going down as soon as I dared to look in another direction. And mind you, I'm not angry with the tank, I'm annoyed with the dps who at the first wipe started bothering me saying 'weak' and being 'utterly disappointed'.
So, not a real nightmare and I hope they got another healer but duh- I barely have time to do anything during the week, I don't want to fight against people and it really bothers me having to eat 20 mins of penality in the hope to get my daily clear.

I think every healer should watch this, because its 100% true .

I posted a run on here like a year ago or so, in which I was blamed by everyone else for us wiping consistently in Qarn HM. I would spam Divine Seal > Cure II and the tank would still die. There was nothing more I could do and yet everyone blamed me. I was so frustrates, but didn't quit do to stubbornness and possibly supidity. You were smart to quit, you shouldn't have to put up with that.

And DarkmoonVael is right, every healer should watch that video! *cough*signature*cough*

I ran Sunken Temple of Quarn as a WHM and got this tank that was a lv 37 GLA. I was wondering why he didn't get PLA and so I checked out the search info. Turns out he was a lv50 GLA and no level in PLA :/ No tank stance in Quarn is a nightmare, but I was like,
"Hey, maybe he's a secret pro, I'll give this a chance."
Nope. The tank kept losing aggro, especially on those bees despite me marking them up. Apparently, the DPS were also bad and never killed the flippin' bees first so the bees went after me... And I'm pretty sure everyone knows happened next >_> Never thought I'd be so scared of bees in my life.

Paladin still doesn't have tank stance at Qarn anyway (it's level 40), that shouldn't been the issue. But if they were still GLD that means they don't have Sword Oath either, so they end up doing less damage. The auto-attack potency increase the oath gives does help in aggro, and well, destroying the bees. Basically the tank was just terrible if they are actually losing aggro to bad DPS. Was probably more on gear, and/not using Halone combo. But Sword Oath actually does help a bit.

[Venaire6]

Ohh sorry about that, I only know about DRK skills and not PLA xD Didn't know Tank Stance was lv40. But yeah, I expected the tank to at least know how to pick up better aggro since he was a lv50 but I guess not. I did give tips to the tank and DPS but they barely do what I say.

Do my roulette tonight and get paired with a WAR, SMN, DRG and im the SCH. The whole run, the DRG would keep pulling the mobs and would randomly open the chests when there is still trash mobs. They would also never move from AOEs and kept almost dying because he still had lvl 56-58 gear. I kept telling to please avoid them and all he said was: "im watching netflix with the wife, not paying attention just here for tomes"

[Nekotee]

And you didn't kill him ?
I would have revoke my fairy, watch him die, step on his body, spit on his face and wait with a smile.

And if he ever complaining about no heal
I would have answer :
"I'm watching you die with my Evil self, not paying attention just here for tomes"

3 choice then
He focus and it end fast and well
He doesn't and get kick
He become stupid and quit

People tend to forgot that the healer is king and got their life in their hand... ready to protect or crush it

He claims that im a bad Healer and insulted me. After Echidna was dead he claimed no one died on him.
Call me what you want but i really doubt it is possible to get killed at echidna at all, even without dodging. At chuchulainn you cant heal oneshots.

He does sound like a jerk, but trust me, there are many ways to die to echidna. Refusal to dodge is one (those vuln stacks can hurt, or if marked person runs from group). Tanks also have several ways to make it hard. This week, somehow me on drg and friend on nin tanked snakes.. No clue wtf was up with tanks. I barely survived and friend died.

Running SCH on Midas floor four, I was doing my usual buffs, shields, throwing lustrate on tanks and indomitability on the party til I was out of stacks, I've burned through at least half my mp or more...and the AST sees me in CS after I've thrown another succor on the party and yells "I can't heal this by myself!"

...I was healing my ass off and dps is part of my rotation. It takes a few seconds to switch to CS and throw some dots on???

The party kept struggling, tank swaps weren't happening, dps were taking a ton of damage. Eventually it was a vote abandon.

In frustration I switched to WHM. (I consider SCH my primary healing job and have the 230 relic, but the 220 cane for WHM). I get a WHM as co healer. We both hop in and out of CS and the run is smooth as silk.

This is not the first time this has happened to me on SCH. -_-
