Epic Healer Stories

[lulunami]

A Warrior's lifeless body was on the edge of the platform in Titan Ex. With Titan's Geocrush looming, it was almost for certain that the warrior's body would regrettably fall to his doom at the bottom of the Lord of Crags' eternal abyss. As the Warrior's body was falling midair, I Swiftcast-Raise him. Before succumbing to his demise at the bottom, the Warrior's inner beast accepts the Raise and returns to the platform to do battle once more!

Main healing Toto-Rak... as SMN. Granted I did that as premade pt with FC friends but you get the idea. It was pretty challenging I can tell you just using Physick. But it was doable and somehow we managed to get by with zero deaths.

More epic was a Brayflox run I did again as SMN through DF with a friend (who was PLD) - we had a WHM but she was a new one and was still learning, meaning she didn't understand MP conservation and was spamming Cure II when a Cure would have been sufficient. And on Altair, she kept running out of MP and dying, so I found myself having to take over as healer in that fight, even using Swiftcast-Resurrect frequently to raise her and the rest of the pt when necessary (if I hadn't and had just stuck to my role we would have wiped faster and never beaten the boss). After three wipes we finally managed to beat the boss, and I got a commendation for my effort. So it all worked out in the end.

This one time, I healed. It was epic.

Epic 1: Getting 3 commendations from saving 4 man runs from disaster... Essentially carrying the party throughout the instance...
Epic 2: Getting 4 commendations from saving a bad CT run... Not too disappointed about not getting 7 as one of the others also deserved some.

I've gotten triple commendations a few times already as a healer. What a great feeling! Beyond that, mine aren't so epic compared to the others:

1. Yesterday I rouletted into Garuda reg. with a PLD and 2 BLMs. The tank and one of the mages were new and being taught, so I was patient with them. We wiped quite a bit, mostly due to lack of knowledge of mechanics/bad DPSing (I also once ran way low on MP just getting everyone through to the last phase). On our last attempt, less than 3 minutes left, both BLMs go down, and the tank's. . . okayish. So I simply regened us both, then Stoned her in the face. WIN. No commendations :/

2. First time healing on Stone Vigil with FC mates - they put me through a Hell Run. The BRD pulled Chudo and kited everything else to extremes, the PLD wore an apron (at first), and the DRG. . . well he had to keep up with the BRD to try to do his job. But we did it. And I was wearing a Glacial Coat the whole time

PvP healing

...and then smoking the other healer solo

My FC and I were helping a fellow FC buddy get through titan HM. Everything went well but suddenly after heart phase one person gets picked off at a time, next thing i know its just me, the tank, and LB3. "Healer Limit break!" they cried! I hit the button, everyone's back up, "we got this" i say to myself. As soon as everyone goes through the animation, BAM Plumes under everyone, everyone died seconds after being raised. I must say, it was pretty magical. It was epic, an epic fail. But hilarious nontheless.

I don't recall quite well. But it was on Ifrit HM, and we were short on DPS'ing all the nails. Since everyone knew we were going to wipe, they were shouting at me to LB3. I kinda did in a moment where Ifrit did Hellfire, murdered me but revived everyone? Needless to say, a wipe happened again. And usually I don't like using LB3 because of the brink of death debuff. Buuut it was a nice change of pace to actually use it lol. Although this was months ago and I'm sure I don't remember it well.

Aaand that moment where the healer would not get out of cleric stance in an instance to heal, I was ACN at the time, had to psychic. A few moments after the fight was done, he was kicked off lol

CT- 5 tanks refuse to tank Behemoth - so I did - with my warrior itemlevel ~45. 6 Whm present and only one regena on me so I asume I just have been healed by that one. Died exactly the moment Behemoth did. Epic healing.

I got into a duty roulette on my sub chara and lo & behold Stone Vigil!
Tank seems to know what he's doing, we wiped on 2nd boss but overall things going ok.
We get to the final boss and keep wiping. Me and the other 2 squishies having trouble dodging the ice bombs (because it's been a while and I had a brain fart)
Finally me and DPS1 are able to dodge but the other guy keeps dying.

So then DPS1 (who's a black mage) and I decide to try and push it through anyway, we do the LB and use psysick to keep the tank and ourselves up. DPS1 dies and it's just me and the tank. I give tank eye 4 eye a couple heals on both of us and finish off the boss.

.....I was playing on my Black Mage.

The healer felt so bad for being dead the 2nd half of the fight he politely said thank you and immediately exited. Poor guy!
