Healer horrors

It is very possible some of their gear was broken and they forgot to repair it. Unfortunately you can't force someone to repair their gear in-dungeon or even in-game, unless a votekick sends the message hard enough through their teeny tiny tank brains to fix your gear.

As for your text on controller, I highly recommend getting a keyboard for your console. Even the normal keyboards should work for consoles, keep 'em plugged in just for cases like these.

I had 4 minutes left on my food for Unreal clears today. #blessed

Apparently I'm at fault for daring to go inside the belly with a good chunk of my party plus my co-healer while in Alliance B for WoD, like we normally do.

How dare I, as a healer, go inside the belly when our war tank decided to stay outside because he wanted to be THE tank for the entire run.
How dare I, as a healer, prioritize making sure we don't wipe over keeping watch over a single war tank that died due to not getting heals from other healers, or being the smart one and passing on aggro to another tank when he saw our UI go grey. I have seen 7 stacks before, it's not pretty.
How dare I, as a healer, entrust good judgement and good faith into the other alliance's healers to babysit our full mentor war tank that has been IMMEDIATELY yeeting the bosses the second he enters the arena instead of waiting for people to get there.
How dare I, as a healer, benediction another alliance's tank because their healers were just being green dps and would immediately eat floor while Cerberus builds up his stacks again and starts to eat people.
How dare I, as a healer, make the full mentor war seethe in anger and envy over not being constantly cared for.
HOW. DARE. I.

It isn't the end of the world, fellow war. Perhaps turning off stance and letting another tank take aggro would be the wiser idea over getting upset at your own healers for going into the belly with a good chunk of your own party to do the mechanics.

Nah you're fine. I've had people nearly wipe in the belly cause not enough people go in to help. I make a point that if I'm in B or C...I'm going into the Belly to just make that mechanic go by faster because Alliance C only needs to have 2 people to get chains...and sometimes it's not even C who grabs the chain but someone in B or A.

Met a peculiar DRK in Mt.Gulg via Leveling Roulette.

Starting a pull by dropping their Salted Earth. AoEs for like 10s then sprint ahead toward 2nd group of mobs. Cooldown usage are very random & sometimes nothing used at all. The latter happened right when I auto ran to the wall pull before 1st boss and accidentally spawned the last set of mobs. We wiped once there. I apologized (and secretively chastised myself for Haima'ing myself in that confusion lmfao) and we moved on.

After first boss they continued this "stop for 10s after dropping Salted Earth then sprint ahead"-behavior. On top of that, they also stop juuust at max range before aggroing trash packs for like 10s before actually pulling. -Everytime-. I took a peek into their search info, saw they have all tanks on 90.

Really unsure what exactly happened on the other side of monitor but I hope they're doing alright. We cleared the run in 24m.

I saw a dragoon exhibiting those behaviors the other night, minus the obvious "being a tank" part. I found it highly suspicious.
Did the DRK speak at all? The DRG I ran into didn't, and I am at this point convinced it was a bot - and not a very good one, either.

They did in fact spoke when I apologized for that first wipe: "no worries my invuln didn't pop either."

I would think they're a bot too, if they didn't make a peep.

Just had someone start insulting me in Brayflox(normal) for not aoeing... as a healer. To make matters worse I'm playing Sage, so technically I do, it's just capped at 2 charges and doesn't have 100% up time, but it's seriously like they didn't realize that healers don't get their aoes until level 40ish. It's so exhausting when people do stuff like this because even though I'm right I just don't have energy to sit there an argue.

Please. It's midterm week for me. Just let me do my roulettes and weeklies so I can get back to tormenting myself.

You can "trick" bots very easy by stopping and observing.
When the bot is a DPS then tell the group to wait outside, pull the boss and move back out.
The bot will blindly follow into the Arena and die there alone.
For a tank bot you do the same or write something like "i need a moment".
He will engage alone, die and return without complaining to do the same again.

Sound as bad as someone telling me to use Interject as a healer in a SB dungeon, no strenght to argue with that
