What's up with healers not healing?

[Rasylia]

You'll hit enrage even with best dps on last raids without healers/tanks help until you are overgeared or with echo. Lazy healers don't get clears until months later, when dps are geared enough to compensate for lacking party damage they refuse to provide.

Yeah, and again, wea re not talking about worlds first or raid groups overall.
Its about random groups in dungeons, trials and ex modes.

No matter what your job is, there's no excuse if you don't use 1/3 of your skills. By your logic SMN or RDM should never rez, and BRD should never Palisade or Troubadour because they are 'dps'. They are there only to attack!

Stop putting words into my mouth.
Your inability to stay on topic is saddening.

I healed the omega normal floors for the first time today and I'm even more confused about this topic than before. Floors 1-3 don't require barely any healing at all (and don't really have any tank busters), healing them for the first time I was able to do around 2k DPS in each as WHM (and sometimes had higher HPS than my cohealer so I didn't leave healing to them). In floor 4 some AoE healing was required for Meteors and other AoEs, but the tank busters did barely anything (and I was doing over 1k DPS on the first run I did there too). For most part in each floor, tank was well covered with Regen (+ Fairy if SCH co-healer) and occasional Assize / Asylum.

I did not see healers who wouldn't heal, but instead some pretty impressive overhealing, such as casting Medica on the party while there were already two Medica II regens ticking on everyone and no incoming damage in near future, or Cure III on party while I had already Medica II ticking and used Assize as soon as an AoE hit landed...

You just described a lot of forum healers lol.

O1 have Charybdis, an unavoidable aoe that makes the party go 1% hp. There it needs heavy and fast healing.

Charbydis is coming.
After that Lightning Bolt YES/NO?
Lightning Bolt YES!
/cast Clemency @ OT
/cast Clemency @ OT
Lightning Bolt No!
/cast Clemency @ Healer 1
/cast Clemency @ Healer 2

I have yet to see anyone notice or mention me doing that.
In ANY dungeon. Or Raid. Or Extreme Trial.

Clemency is on of the most awesome skills the Pld ever got. 95% of the tanks dont use it (made up number i evaluated after playing Whm/Sch/Blm/Smn) and when i do it, noone cares.

A bit sad considering it saves people on a regular basis...

Because unless the run is heading towards a wipe your clemency isn't helping as much as you think it is, if I'm saving a lustrate or tetra for a tank buster I'm not gonna sit there and wait to see if a PLD is gonna use clemency, I'm gonna heal regardless of what you do, most healers will either plan their heals without your clemency or react to damage as soon as they see it instead of waiting for your clemency.

So the rule of thumb is, burn MP on holy spirit unless the run is heading towards a wipe, the faster you kill the boss the less likely mistakes will happen and the 400 potency holy spirit helps with this.

Everything

I disagree. The Twillight Bolt after Charbydis is a tankbuster with what... 30k Dmg on both? So, me casting 2x Clemency is allready ensuring that both tanks won't be dying.
If, e.g. one healer didnt pay attention and is only AOE-Healing instead of boosting up us tanks, that can allready mean the OT will die.

Noone said Clemency prevents wipes when you are closing in on it. But it defenitely ensures a much smoother and safer run.
