    The Abonimation Known as WTFWHM

    Anyone being at the mercy of a duty finder healer knows exactly what I'm talking about - the wtfwhm. These are intentionally misbehaving white mages that does everything in their power to piss off everyone in the instance - especially the tank - for various reasons, be it trolling, entitlement, or lack of maturity and/or intelligence. The mechanics of the wtfwhm includes:

    Pulling with Aero
    waiting for a tank to pull a mob? Ain't nobody got tiem for dat
    It's a completely unnecessary act to pull before the tank. No one benefits from a healer to gain hate first, other than the healer to enrage their fellow party members for their own, insignificant enjoyment.

    Spamming Fluid Aura
    Square Enix has given me the right to use this skill whenever I want, so bite me.
    There is definitely applicable uses to fluid aura in dungeons outside of losing aggro, but this is not the case of a wtfwhm. A wtfwhm will use it as soon as it comes off of cooldown for no other reason than because they can. Personally this doesn't bother me as much as it used to, but I know many others that become furious when white mages do this.

    Prioritizing DPS/CC over healing
    I'm trying to sleep these mobs, the least you can do is pop a cooldown.
    This is self explanatory. You know you have a wtfwhm in your party when the tank dies while the healer is in cleric's stance.

    Unnecessary Denial of Raise
    I don't have to raise you noobs. L2P and you wont die
    This is when some insignificant healer wants to feel important and elite by leaving the dps/tank dead and 2-manning the boss or whatever. But the part the really bugs me, is when its something that, you know, can't be two-manned? This results in the boss/mobs not being defeated, resets, and time being wasted.

    Stoneskin Elitism
    dps dont need it
    This is pretty minor I will admit, but it puts the cherry on top. How self-centered are you to only put stoneskin on yourself, and not even the tank?

    Edit: Thanks to LionKing for reminding me of this one:

    Regen Before Pull
    It's easier and it saves mana
    These are the OCD healers that must always have regen/medica II up just for the sake of their satisfaction. It's harmless up until the point that the tank pulls, and then the mobs/boss then begin to attack the healer, in which they end up having to use a cure II anyway. That leads me to my next infraction:

    Unnecessary Kiting
    Stupid tank, I'm trying to keep myself alive.
    Tank just pulled. White mages successfully acquires aggro after a preemptive regen or cure II. White Mage then proceeds to sprint AWAY from the tank, using swiftcast blizz II and fluid aura. Just for safe measure, medica II is up to ensure that tank can't ever get aggro back. Seriously, what the actual f*ck?

    Committing one of these crimes could brand you as a bad healer, but any combination of these will make you a wtfwhm.

    Oh I hate fluid aura, I whm and I have never seen a legitimate reason to use that skill. I also tank and nothing irritates me more than a whm that feels the need to immediately use it due to pulling aggro because their spamming of medica. I asked a whm to please not use it he said then don't lose aggro. I let him die the next time he did it and another in our group initiated votekick on him. Try me, I know plenty heals that will join in progress party.

    There's also the famous white mages that spam cure 3 on tank and has medica 2 up constantly. Nothing annoys me as much as a white mage that puts medica 2 before tank pulls. Been in so many primal fights as the second healer who gets to facepalm when the fellow white mage kills itself. But I suppose the ones I'm referring to are more likely ignorant than actively trying to piss off team mates and shove their I'mImportant act to their faces. :s

    What I like to do if people pull before me and don't even give me to time to breath is let them tank. Plus my wife joins me as healer 90% of the time so yeaaah I kinda have the upper hand when it comes to DPS trolling now WHM, same, let them tank if their very determined to Tank ^^

    SCH here and I use Stoneskin in battle in the following order of priority:
    1. The other healer, so they will stay alive (and heal while I dps)
    2. Main Tank, so I can stay in CS longer
    3. Me, so I can take the next hit in the face
    4. Party SMN, so they may live and maybe raise someone else
    5. Recently raised member
    6. loldrg... Kidding, everyone else.

    Ever since I got Stoneskin I've been using it as an adlo-substitute in CS.

    Stoneskin is great to use on DPS so if they get hit by something you probably won't have to heal them same if they manage to pull aggro for a few seconds the Tank can get it back without them being squashed instantly.

    I don't really get the hate for fluid aura it's a good emergency skill sure if a Healer was spamming it for no reason fine yell at them but if the Tank loses a mob because they are not holding aggro on all mobs and it decides to take a stroll and say hello to me then i'd much rather use fluid aura to either push it back towards the Tank's position or push it out the way and sleep it so it can be dealt with later. Having the Tank move is not something i enjoy especially when to pick a mob back up they want to run at me and bring all their friends with them who them spam their AoE effects in my face. Amusingly some Tank's when i avoid said AoE's are like "omg don't run!"

    I've refused to raise somebody but only when they are either dying constantly and wasting my mana from raises or because they are one of those DPS who die constantly and don't shut up when they do with "Raise....Raise me....Omg bro raise wtf!" some people have no patience or they are selfish and don't understand the Healer has an obligation to the rest of the group to not let them die before picking somebody else up XD.
