Healers please

[Rilifane]

As a healer myself. I'm often go into extreme fights thinking other healers will heal and or aoe heal for stacked markers, but what I'm left with is they keep dpsing.

I know more damage the better but please if I wanted to solo heal I'll put a pf up and solo heal. I like to dps to. Not sure if this is a trend now but its almost every time I do a extreme now a healer doesn't want to heal.

Now I know whm brings the big heals with cure 3 and I could heal through it but I should expect some help.

I went in with my sage once and this whm never put up a medica 2 or cure 3 just kept dpsing away and I'm stuck doing all the healing.

So please I beg of you. do some aoe healing succor, medica 2 cure 3 if close, medica, prognosis ect.

Sorry about this rant just had to get it off my chest

Not sorry to disappoint you.
I'm aoe healing but definitely not with that when I have:
- Panhaima, Holos, Kerachole, Physis II, Pneuma and Ixochole on Sage
- Asylum, Plenary, Lilies, Lilybell, natural Assize on WHM
- Seraph, Sacred Soil, Indom, Whispering Dawn and Fey Blessing on SCH
- COpp, CU, mega-sized Star, Macrocosmos, Horoscope on AST
If all those resources are already exhausted AND not coming up until the raidwide happens AND I don't see my co heal doing anything until ~5s before the raidwide hits, then I will use GCD aoe heals and if anyone has taken extra damage or still has vuln stacks, I'll give them extra attention with single target shields. Otherwise there is no point in using GCD heals above my myriad of oGCD resources. Spamming Glareficoilosis doesn't mean someone isn't healing in time.

And if you decide to instantly go Cure III spam mode, I'll just shrug and do my green dps thing because you have already decided for both of us that you are fighting to heal that damage right now. Fine by me. I adjust to my co heal:
- do I see them healing right away? I'll keep my resources for the next damage.
- are they not healing right away? I throw out a Regen and see what happens.
- they're also throwing out a regen or small burst heal? Alright, Glareficoilosis and chill, we're safe
- they don't do anything, raidwide ~5s away and people are too low to survive? I'll bring them above threshhold, worst case I'll use a GCD heal
Raidwide is about to hit, everyone is healthy enough and I see any form of delayed burst heal or regen (Star, Lilybell etc) or something to prep a burst heal (Zoe, Recit, Plenary etc), I'll hold my resources and let them go first because they called dibs on healing that one.
I'll also wait for natural Assize between raidwides, it's quite predictable with most WHMs.

If you panic Cure III spam with Panhaima up, Zoe Pneuma in the pipeline etc. you're just wasting my resources for no reason. You don't need to be a psychic to get a feeling for how your co heal heals and you don't get bonus points for topping people faster. If you can top a raid within 6s, you don't need to heal 30s before the next raidwide.
HP is a completely irrelevant metric, the only thing that counts is what the boss is doing. You can be perfectly safe at 1 HP and you can be at risk of dying at 90% HP - what matters is what the boss is doing. Not doing anything? 1 HP is still alive.

Maybe it would be good to take a look at the job actions list if you don't play other healers because their respective "big heal coming up" tells are generally easy to spot. Nothing improves gameplay and performance like knowing what the co-role is capable of, be it healers, tanks or even dps.
