What's up with healers not healing?

[Catwho]

what's up with tanks not telling anyone when there about to do super large pulls and then causes the group to wipe because healer can't target them or heal them fast enough.

When I tank an expert, at the start of the dungeon I say three little words that make all the difference: "Big pulls ok?"

If the healers says no, then I don't pull big. If the healer says "sure" then I know I'm safe to double pull.

My advice? Next time you get a healer that DPSes just kick them ASAP. They're just looking to get carried, especially if someone dies while they do so. I have a strict one death/one kick policy with healers and tanks.

Whew, dodge that bullet.

But meanwhile, I guess he allows DPS to take 50 naps on the floor
per run and not speak a peep. You must hate us heals and tanks...Y i k e s .
Thank God I'm not on your server.

Oh nah, I'm super chatty and social and love to make jokes. I mean, I'm a tank, if I don't break the ice who will? Incidentally, the only time dps take a dirt nap is when the healer ignores them after raid wide AoE for the sake of more DPS, so... have fun with that?

As someone who plays both tank and healer... yea this is a thing. Much like how some tanks will suddenly sprint to grab more adds leaving the healer behind...

This annoys the hell out of me even as dps. Tank seems to stay in the one spot and as i am casting, freaking tank takes off.. That rattles me, lol

I actually used to do that (ran off just before the mobs had died, thinking they would die before I got to the next pack, for a "rolling rotation" as I call it). Someone explained to me why that's a bad idea with a BLM, because of how they're essentially a turret. I apologised and learned from it. I no longer do that. Though sometimes right before the last mob has died I will stun it (if it hasn't got any stun resistance from things like Holy spam), leaving the DPS with 6 seconds to kill it while I go off and move towards the next pack of mobs. So far, I haven't been advised against that. If it turns out it is a bad idea and someone explains to me, then yes, I'll stop doing it.

That's the time I type "Tanks for the memory" and leave them to it. Tends not to happen again.

O1n-o4n: incoming tank buster, pop cd. Wait for heals, wait for heals, wait for any type of heal, boom die to auto attacks.

I just don't get it, I'm usually the only one taking damage at that time. Why you let me die? Q.Q

It happens at least 4 to 5 times a day. I know I'm a PLD, but I shouldn't be forced to use clemency as a cd every freaking tank buster.

O1N - O3N have tankbusters? These fights barely need any Tank healing, it's mostly both healers dpsing 90% of the fight, and i have never seen a tank dying in there..

It is because almost everyone doing that in their i330. Do it at base ilevel and lets talk again about it. Sometime I wonder why some people goes there when loot is sub their armor, maybe helping friends?

To gear other jobs?

weekly tomes since it's in most cases quicker then regular dungeons. Some people don't wanna do pvp or potd for it. But that's also the reason most people don't go at the end of the week or on weekends, and get it done right after reset, because that's the only time you can keep your sanity.
