Healer Horror Stories: Redux

[MrKuchen]

It isnt exactly a healer Horror Story, more like just a Horror Story and i was a whm at that time ...
Tsukoyimi ex. I did her with a lot of practice groups and my worst phase is the Last phase (with the fans and stuff). But I killed her several times so i thought i wanna try a farm group now.
I was used to the floating healer and d safe spot strat. The group i joined was a No Marker strat and as soon as i joined a guy was spamming : healer LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT OF HER, dps RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT OF HER.
I thought: Oh Boy, whoever gets this wrong is gonna have a Bad time.
Long Story short: it was me.

The First Run went smooth except i confused sites one time. Nobody died, everything was fine. As soon as we got out the Same guy Said: are we gonna keep this whm!? He confused sites. Strange. STRANGE!
nobody said a word (me included) and i was so embarassed. I did her a few times, i can do her mechanics, apperantly I\\\\'m Just Not good without Markers

I thought: okay, He will be quiet and i will concentrate and we do this. But He Just kept talking: I\\\\'m focusing you! Oh, so you let the other healer do protect? Hm you\\\\'re Not really good geared (I\\\\'m ilvl355...), I bet you did the same mistakes at byakko ( i have a byakko wep). Even in the Fight: aero isnt Up, what are you doing? Are you sure you\\\\'re standing on the right Site? No holy?

I was so embarassed and felt so unsure it was really bad for me. And when we reached the Meteor phase, i barely did the Meteor right, we died and He was like: IT WAS THE WHM I SUPPOSE! And kicked me.

I felt really horrible after that and went to a practice group. We killed her after the second try and farmed her Afterwards.

Maybe im Just Not good enough for Farm Parties.

While "no markers" might make some people feel more pro or whatever, there's a reason for them. Savage raids, ex primals, whatever -- people generally do better/make fewer mistakes with them.

Anyways sorry you got harassed like that. Don't give up!

Assuming this is about the meteors, this is a crappy strategy anyways. Much better to have Tanks/DPS do north/south and have the healer adjust to whichever side is waxing. If it's about the Spear Nightfall only, then it's also pretty stupid because there's no reason to change the meteor directions for Nightfall. Unless I don't understand what a no marker strat is, it just sounds like your tank was using a poor fight strategy.
