Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

Thanks for this thread, it will keep me healing. Glad to know I am not the only one seeing some out there expectations of us.

I spent an hour in the temple of the fist because not only was the dps abysmal, but the tank would disconnect every 5 minutes, and I couldn't do anything about it because he was friends with the other two.

On top of his frequent disconnects, he'd lag horribly, so basically he was a glorified titan egi, and would lose aggro if dps got to high.

On the expansion day of Stormblood, I logged in on my Scholar only to see my Bane had been butchered and I could no longer use Blizzard II, Miasma II and had half potency worth of Shadow Flares. Then shortly after, I went into a dungeon and noticed my newly spread two dots did 200 damage on some targets. Suffice to say, I nearly did not live to tell you the experience.

I was running Aurum Vale to level my WHM (RIP SCH), and our paladin tank had no concept of healing threat. Every pull he'd tunnel-vision a single mob, while the others would be drawn to my Cure I and Regen threat like moths to a flame. After our fourth wipe I asked him to spam some AoE threat in a friendly way, and he indicated that he shouldn't have to "if everyone focused my target." I tried to explain that my heals generated AOE threat, but he was skeptical. We wiped again and he begrudgingly started slinging around flash; our unending reign of dying magically ceased.

That's ridiculous.

Also - tanks in Stormblood with level 60 strength accessories .. really?!

They deal quite a bit higher damage with them on lol. I mean, I'm not saying it's optimal for the people healing them, but you know how everyone is when it comes to dealing more damage.

Yes tank, please tank Delta 4 with i270 str accessories and no tank stance and each auto attack takes half your health. And please keep doing that when you've got vuln stacks and now you're losing 75% of your health per hit. I mean, it's not like there's any raid damage in that fight I also need to heal, right?

Oh, tanking the floor now? Shame I used up all my MP propping you up earlier, maybe the other healer can rez you....

[gumas]

Not exactly horror but once in temple of fist run, there is this 1 guy who die i think 10 or 11 times total, i keep res him up because i want to know if he going to break his dead record which he indeed lol

I think the guy has no lag problem considering he can combo just fine, but for some reason he react so slow against aoe and boss attack pattern.

On my first Susano EX attempt just now. We wiped the first time because offtank wasn't picking up the orbs. When asked why, he said "I wasn't getting healed by the healers. How can I possibly pick them up if I'm not getting healed? Stupid healers! Why didn't you heals me?!" Me: "because I was dead from soaking the orb you refused to soak..." while my fellow healer was like "I put my fairy on you." T^T And is it really THAT hard to stand behind the boss? Is it? Two RDM's and neither rezzed a single person. Why? I'm a SMN and I rez. Is this hard? They have duelcast. JFC...

This is me, in a nutshell: http://i.imgur.com/MQ6cr0r.jpg

I feel like we should have a separate page for 'healer horror stories: RDM addition.' "Yes, go ahead and leap onto the boss when the tank hasn't emnity yet. That's a good plan."

Doing Omega 4 on my SCH this morn, now I've been playing SCH for over 3 years, and yes, we are all trying to get used to our new kits. Both "tanks" were in dps stance the whole fight, not mitigating dmg, my coheals was an AST and most def had an easier time keeping people up. One of the dps said I needed to heal more....I was healing my butt off. We cleared and one of the tanks said I should go "read up" and learn how to play my SCH.

Honestly, tanks in this game are getting to be so abusive and just plain horrible. I am at the point where I may just give up healing this patch. I love, love my SCH, but the stress of playing the class is really getting to me. I may switch to AST until my dear bb SCH gets sorted out.

Hahaha i have my share of horror story, from DPS not knowing where to go, to the All-Mighty one who aggro all for the fun (yes that was his reason : FOR THE FUN)

Im happy that my brother (who live with me) play the tank, we chat and we never wipe for one or the other reason (ether tank or healing)

The worst for me is when DPS think they can go and aggro everything and not feel our wrath. Im a good healer, my brother (who tank) is realy good and we are playing togeter, talking to each other. I mean they is no better setup atm i know. But when DPS just keep aggroing stuff and arrange mob to hit the tank, it pissing me off.

DPS : DO YOUR JOB, do NOT interfer with mine or the tank, else feel the kick incoming... and i have kick my share of DPS (we even refuse to move 1 inch when a DPS make us whipe 2 time on boss on purpose, try to kick and the other DPS click no, i tell : if *** is still with us, we won't move. After that the kick was accepted !!
