Healer Pet Peeves

[HyperiusUltima]

So guys, what are your pet peeves as a healer?

Mine is basically using the WoW Logic of "You only heal because you queued for healer." when I can DPS for free if there's literally no damage going out whatsoever.

When a stack mechanic is completely ignored and players decide to spread out as much as possible, as quickly as possible. That, and tanks not using cooldowns.

When I was still gearing up my healer, to the point where I was wearing the bare minimum to enter a dungeon as one. Even explaining to the tank that we should go a tad slower because I'm barely able to be in here. And the tank still pulling whole areas of mobs because screw you and you're like 800 heal, you should be able to do as much as someone wearing top tier gear.

When people will gladly stand in things they shouldn't and take very unnecessary damage (To the Black Mages, I feel for you having cast times and needing to cast but.....stop), which naturally will require me to heal but sometimes might complain that there's not enough DPS.
Many of us will gladly do our best to DPS as healers, just not when people are taking damage cause they need heals. We're not miracle workers, we kinda sorta have to sometimes pick up after the mistakes of others. :T

anyone becides a Tank who intentionally stand in telegraphed AoE's (the avoidable stuff), especially the ones that give high dmg Dot's or a Vuln Debuff, & Un-tankable mobs... both annoy me as Heals or Tank

A descent BLM will know when its okay to stand in aoe and when not to... for example if the aoe adds poison (dots) or its a half hp loss from 1 hit then yea the BLM will naturally move out of the way... but if the damage is minimal why move? They can get that extra fire 4 off or make sure their enochian wont fall off. BLM is loaded with timers... they have several things to worry about while trying to maximize damage and keeping an eye on where they are in a boss fight so they know when to dodge or when to plant there feet firmly on the ground. BLM's have to make sure they get off a blizz 3 at the end of the rotation especially before astral fire wares off. They have to make sure to get that blizz 4 casted in time before umbral and enochian wares off......ect. I can keep on going but a good BLM should know how far they can take it before stepping back for a sec.

I promise you the blm is not saying to themselves meh the healer can just heal me through a 2 shot aoe... No they are thinking about enochian/astral/umbral timers and they are thinking about when/where they are in a fight. BLM's are constantly weighing there options and while doing all the above they trying to push out as much damage as they possibly can.

You know what really grinds my gears...
Undergeared tanks doing huge pulls.
Slow AoE dps and big pulls.
Messing up Clerics Stance.
Bards that play Mage ballad for me after I tell them not to. You're only slowing dps. Please stop it.
Dps taking too much unnecessary damage.

Tank/dps: "Healer heal me!!! You "insert whatever insult you can think of"

......while at 80% HP, like really? Realllly???

I will speak on behalf of tanks even if this is about healers. Bards and Machinists that don't throw mp/to regeneration when we're low. Yea you want to DPS but if you cannot be bothered to see that we are drained, especially if a death occurred, then play another job. You are support, learn to watch our mp/to like healers focus in HP / shields and tanks watch for dangerous adds / aggro meters in party list.

If you want to be regarded as a class that isn't easy, do it right. This also goes to DPS that say "screw the healer" and allow a mob to attack the healer, not blowup a tethered bomb attached to the healer etc.
