Healer Pet Peeves

[Rivxkobe]

Probably already said but I can't stand WAR's with obnoxious berserk macros. A simple 'berserk up' or "pacified in 20sec" is fine. I don't need to have a massive count-down or alarms and whistles blaring at me because I will ignore it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

WARs need to stop this tbh.

When my co-healer yells at me for using cleric stance.

Just because I pop on CS right near the pull doesn't mean I expect you to main heal (especially when you're a SCH). It means there's not much damage going out, so I'm using this opportunity to help out with DPS, even if it's just placing DOTs real quick. Just because I'm a WHM doesn't mean I should just stand there waiting for someone to take damage.

When the DPS yells at me for using cleric stance when i supposed to be main heal Just got that from A10 normal :P

Tower Labyrinth first boss. DPS and tanks don't kill skeletons or kill them all near by for auto wipe. A proper healer will know how to survive it with timing but chances are we be killeld right after.

When my co-healer yells at me for using cleric stance.

Whaaat, people really do this? As a SCH, when my DF co-healer catches on that I'm using Eos for WD and I see the icon for Cleric in their party window slot, my heart is warmed forever.

On the other hand... I hate all the overhealing that inevitably happens in DF... it's always difficult to know which fairy to use because of this. With my AST companion I use Eos in most fights so that both of us can DPS like crazy, specially instances which can be accessed through Duty Finder. But in DF you can never really trust the other healer to DPS, which justifies Eos, nor can you trust them to solo heal, which justifies Selene. It's so complicated, really...

I'm sure its already been said but I hate when tanks pull everything and its mother......and pops ZERO CDS and just expects you to just deal with it. I don't find it a test of how good a healer I am, I find it as this tard over here doesn't even know how to do even the basics of his/her class. CDs are there for a reason, they aren't there for you to use only on a boss or when you're at 5% health. FYI Blood Price and Unleash spam isn't some magical tank CD.......

It's more of an AST pet peeve for me. But when I do expanded balance and using my celestial opposition to increase the time..please do not overwrite my cards with your expanded spear.

Replacing Expanded Balance with Expanded Spear(or anything really) should piss everyone off. If I am ever around and something like this happens I'm calling out that AST.

I just recently came back from a hiatus, so I don't know about how common it is now but back before I stopped playing (about 6 months ago, played for years) it was very common for co-healers to bitch about the other being in Cleric Stance. It happened more often than you'd think in end game(non-static) content.

There are several things that make me mad when I'm healing duties.

--Tanks not using cooldowns.
--Tanks not using cooldowns and being poorly geared.
--Tanks not using cooldowns, being poorly geared, AND deciding to do the big boy pulls (and then subsequently complaining when they die).
--Two tanks in 8-mans that decide to see who has the biggest you-know-what, and fight for aggro, spinning bosses around, and cleaving the party in the process.
--When running on AST and the other AST either changes to the same sect as me before a fight, and refuses to change back, and then proceeds to overwrite my shields/HoTs.
--When another AST overwrites my AoE Balance with something like an AoE Bole or, worse, an AoE Spire/Ewer.
--Noct ASTs overwriting my SCH shields (or even being in Noct in the first place).
--When I drop my Asylum or Sacred Soil bubble and THE TANK DOESN'T STAND IN IT (or worse, moves out of it). :I
--A tank wasting my CritLos, or my Deployed E4E/Adlo.
--WARs and Berserk macros that are completely obnoxious and over the top. Really just makes me want to let you enjoy that 5 sec Pacification.
--When DPS stand in the bad.
--When I'm paired with another WHM, and I've already cast Protect and SS II, and then they recast it and overwrite mine. Like...why? What was the point in that? Especially if I swiftcast+Stoneskin II, and then they HARD CAST IT.


And this thread really hurts my BRD soul. It really is "damned if you do, damned if you don't." Many good BRDs realize their role as a support DPS. Don't think we are trying to insult you, or assume that you can't manage MP, if we see that you are sitting at 2,000 or less MP in a fight that requires heavy healing, or in a fight with a squishy tank. I have no way of telling if your MP refreshes are on CD or not. I just see a my healer(s) sitting at 2,000 MP or less (in a current endgame fight), and the group/tank is taking damage, so I'm going to help you out. Because, I'm sure if I didn't play Mage's, most healers, upon a wipe, would say: "Well, this bard didn't sing for me, so..."

I don't like lowering my DPS anymore than the next DPS, but if it gives our healers more healing power to keep us alive, then I'd rather lower it 10% for 30 seconds (since a Battle Voiced Mage's is more than enough to get a healer back to full before BV even wears off) and keep the healer up and healing, rather than us just wipe because the heals were OOM.

I cast Regen on the tank during a boss. Adds spawn. Adds flock straight to me, because of course they do. Tank doesn't bother to pick them up through the entire fight, because it's lower-level DF content so that means he can just auto-attack and tab out to Netflix. I die. I cry.
