Yeah, "normally" you get healed enough when you are not trying to tank everything and the kitchen sink while also suffering under Disease which, you know, makes my healing garbage.
Tam-Tara (Hard) speedruns doncha know?

Ran a Lost City a couple of days ago, WHM and DRG hadn't run before, but didn't say so didn't realise they needed an explanation for the boss fights. Wiped on Goobbue, BLM got his arse in his hand about it for them not speaking up. Bit later on we wiped again due to the DRG accidentally pulling a mob and me as tank trying to hold five mobs; the heals sadly couldn't keep up. BLM calls out the WHM on poor healing and the WHM swears at him. Uncalled for, but idc as I'm aware ppl have different levels of skill/gear/experience. BLM initiates a votekick, but I ignore it and ask us to just carry on, pulling the next group. Apparently votekicks go through with just 2/4 votes (didn't know that, unless he left of his own accord) and the WHM is gone.

Sighing, I pull two flies up out of their sticky to fight and the BLM goes mental. "WTF are you pulling for? Stop it!" He doesn't seem to understand that we can easily take a pair of trash mobs without a healer, and refuses to engage. Me and the DRG get one down, but the other kills us at 50%.. If he had just joined in... BLM leaves party and lo and behold the WHM rejoins through DF In Progress. We laugh uneasily for a second and then a BRD joins up to complete the party. Dungeon clocked with no further deaths, despite being the first time for the DRG and the WHM.

Parting comment from the WHM was "turns out the problem must have been that BLM after all." Made me lol, but so true.


He-man says: People have different levels of ability. The mark of a truly good player (y'know, like me) is to be able to gauge that in the first pull and adapt their own techniques to work as a team to complete the dungeon efficiently and not just throw their standard faceroll at their keyboard for 20mins and pass out the other side without noticing what just happened.
