Some healers are taking the entire ogcd heal thing to the extreme.

It's near the end of SHB. I'm starting to get fed up with it because I keep encountering more and more Glare mages who refused to even cast medica on a raid wide aoe when lilies and assize are on cool down. It used to be selfish SCHs (in HW) behave this way acting like a DPS, but after SHB, more and more WHMs just wants to Glare.

I've seen this extreme case multiple times in neir raid with first time players in party lately. One time I had to pretty much suffer as a SCH spamming shield, indom, and fairy on cd because this Glare mage won't heal the party past 50% without lilies. The Lily system might need a nerf if there are players acting like hard cast healing spell is a sin or something. Really threw the whole teamwork out of the window.

Well let me update a bit more: My party had 4 new players. I expect them to die a lot. Couldn't use aetherflow stacks on lustrate. I have to save them for indom. The co-WHM basically ignore all the healing timing and died multiple times at half hp still refusing to medica. Party wiped at twin bosses, red girl, and last boss with back to back raid wide aoes when I only had succor left. I just wanted to farm glams, but next time I rather eat penalty. This one case was the most unpleasant one so far.

I dont know why the glare bots/broil bots dont just play DPS class. All I can suggest Team up with friends who are more to do their jobs for you of healing when they should be or wait till EW, where ill make sure to keep ya healthy when DC comes. I gave up replying to the stupidity of this over and over, the way healers behave in this game is beyond me, and am a healer main. That is why I respect other old school mmos, because their fights is usually design to make the healer yes be a heal bot and throwing out some dps spells when your not to can signicially cause you to wipe on tough things.

I mean really then the come back is about people dont know how healer works and blah blah get over yourselves. Again your never gonna out dps a actual dsps like a blm/or sam but yeah not fighting this no more, all I can suggest friend is do what I said or have a person you know do their role. Ofc am not a heal bot or dps bot i am a balance bot heal+dps not do too much of the other its just so 100% pointless to do too much of one.

As a soon to be sage I will take only astro strictly as my co healer at least another fellow ast dont tend to be a malefic bot as much as a glare/broil bot like whm or sch, specially I know how upsetting it was when will purposely switch to noct if a sch dont wanna dish out a shield, well ill just aspect myself or someone about to die to make sure to cheese and not get hard hit by that mech to reduce major damage even if people ofc say shields are nothing compared to regens. but I enjoy having 90% health after a would be hard hit attack as I laugh at the regens barely keeping up and people is 90% damaged where a regen is suffering with its lame ticks to health them back up before some other nasty aoe big damage comes. My best and fav moments is just me and one tank or 2 tanks alive as am keeping all 3 of us fine health with me noct and end up winning all coms after I eventually get to astral statis the dps and the dps bot alive. I know the missing com will be from the dsps glare/broil bot
