The poor, poor SMN in my group last night

An FC mate and I was running leveling roulette trying to get our jobs to 60 and we got Sohm Al. The SMN was a sprout, and her first time in the instance. She was undergeared, and couldn't take a hit. Add to that she struggled avoiding AoE. The tank also wasn't the best at mitigating his own damage, so I couldn't keep the SMN on her feet, and my MP pool was seriously being taxed throughout the dungeon. She was really trying, you can tell as she was just running out of the AoEs just a little too late.

I'm not the best healer by any means, but I can tell how a AoE heavy boss fight is going to go based on how the group performs during the dungeon, and I knew the SMN was going to have a hard time with Sohm Al's final boss. Sure enough it was the case, and I had to leave her down. It is so rare that this happens to me, and it makes me feel horrible when I have to make the decision to no longer raise a player.

She apologized, and said she felt bad as she felt like she got carried to the clear. I apologized as well for having to leave her down, and she understood. We gave her our comms anyway. My FC mate is a SMN main and told her she's totally been there. I just wish I could have done more to help. I should have done more.
