Why and how?

[Melithea]

I agree that something needs to change in regards to healing, but there is a simple solution to what you experienced. Throw a Stone or Aero or something to attack her.

I realize this is the standard solution to forcing yourself onto the hate table, but there's two problems. 1. It doesn't even always work. 2. I was already on the hate table. I might also add that on any other FATE outside Odin and Behemoth it's completely unnecessary. But I've had the same problem with Odin where I took a minute to sit in Cleric Stance and deal over 10k damage and received absolutely no credit as well.
