Healer Pet Peeves

Wtf are you even doing?

That is my #1 uncharitable thought in duties, usually directed towards the other healer. Low activity and sluggish healing is usually the cause, but ASTs who randomly overwrite your well-placed cards with their crap ones make me not want to be an AST paired with another AST.

My number #2 uncharitable thought, most common when playing healer and especially when playing BLM, is get the hell off of me. You can stay within easy healing range without riding my ass and forcing me to dodge every AoE splat that gets thrown on top of you.

@your first point: I have been getting excessively frustrated as a tank and healer when the healer/co-healer is doing little to nothing. And it's coming to the point that I almost refuse to roulette unless i or another FC member(usually Estelle) is the healer, or even both healers. But this isn't always the case and I always end up with something bad.

An example would be when the two of us went to do level roulette with another FC member. I was pally, Estelle was DRG and the FC member was a BRD. We got into stone vigil. Healer was a SCH. She never dpsed and she healed so slow that we wiped on a slightly large pull I attempted because she wasn't doing anything but healing.

Or the co-healer I had in a raid who blamed me for not enough healing going out on ravana normal. He died four times and I raised a total of eight times before we ultimately wiped.

@second point: I despise anyone who stacks on the healer as if to say "look here in slightly hurt. Heal me." Especially since it usually means they are too focused on sticking to the healer that they ignore mechanics (Ramuh anyone?).

Sorry about mistakes. On my phone. ):
