Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

So I was farming A12N to get better gear. Anyways in one of the those runs I get paired with an AST, I am SCH. The AST started saying that I should be kicked because they would be better off with two AST since their shield was better.. Needless to say that I actually did get kicked.. Not really an horror story.

That's unfair and untrue, SCH shield is better. The only thing about AST is the AST single target shield is instant cast. They should have just gone Diurnal stance. Sorry to hear that happened to you.

I thought the AST shield was better unless the SCH gets a crit?
Aspected Benefic in Noct is 250 potency + 10% = 275 potency. The shield is 170% of that or 467.5 potency.
Adlo is 300 potency. The shield is 100% of that normally .. so 300 potency .. but is doubled on a crit.

Thats my healing story....

I feel your pain, that healer was an idiot.
But you never failed in my eyes, you're always doing your best, you'll always be my nr1 healer because you like to challange yourself and grow all the time, but even as you are now I can't think of anyone that is a better healer than you!

Came back after a few months and decided to run Dun Scaith. It'll be fine I said-

Load in and we have 6 Bards (nice dps selection DF) and I think "nice, loads of foes"! We pull the first guy and-

No foes. Fabulous. After about 45sec-1min we FINALLY get foes (from the other single bard in the alliance), things are looking up as you can see. Because I haven't run Dun Scaith in a few months I fumble and die, co heal raises me and I ask for ballad since my shroud was on CD, silence. I have a healing macro asking for ballad (with auto translate) and annoying sounds mind you but no matter how many times I used the macro I got silence, sweet silence. This became a running theme in the dungeon. Our alliance fumbles to the end after our amazing performance on the second last boss who's name I can't spell and the icing on the cake to my story happens. At the final boss our party does a miserable job of living, I don't understand, I'm spamming heals and raises till the cows come home but who knew a group of lvl 60s couldn't dodge basic mechanics. After a while I begin to cotton on, sure the bards are all ignoring my pleas for MP but surly my co heal is doing their best to keep this party up- clerics stance, stone iii. Amazing, half the alliance is dead but I guess clerics stance stone iii is the only solution to the problem. Long story short I get in a party of 6 bards, realise they're all mute and have a co healer who can't heal. Keep it classy DF.

Realised my April fools pic clearly portrays my emotions towards my party in this story.

As a heads-up, you can edit a post to bypass the 1k character limit, that way you can squish all of your posts into one larger one!

don't care randoms - care the ones who are important to you - like your tank-friend (its Brem obviously? ^^).

randoms often are just pointing on others if they fail their own tasks, I wouldn't give a fuck...
especially as healer/tank if you know what your are doing (and it seems you are a setted healer anyway) -
don't even let such kind of comments make you start doubting yourself – smile at those guys and move on

NoctAST's shields are indeed better, but saying another AST was needed because of the better shields is a laughable concept, since it is implying that SCH's shields hold a party back from clearing content. This is obviously hilariously untrue, obviously because SCHs have been clearing A12S for literal months now, and the fact that this other AST was using the shields as an excuse to kick a SCH from A12N is just... I'm pretty sure that person was either trolling or just unimaginably stupid. Probably both.

The people who actually said "yes" to the Vote Dismiss are even more stupid, though. Like, holy shit there is nothing inside their skull.

I also think the AST wanted to kick me just because he wanted to stay in Noct Sect. I still don't know why the others actually did kick me for.
