The Abonimation Known as WTFWHM

[revonine]

I like this topic.

As a WHM myself, I'm a WTFWHM to the dps, but not for any reasons listed above.

- In a dungeon, DPS pulls or auto-run into mobs.
- DPS begin to kite with range attacks, then eventually start running back towards the entrance.
- Tank grabs a few mobs.
- I stay with tank.
- The DPS that ran and died yells WTFWHM.

Personally, I don't chase a DPS to heal them. They should be mindful. I'll only chase the tank and other healer. I don't ignore my raise duty, though.

No-where is chasing down random DPS for heals more apparent than in the CT series of raids. That random guy that decides to go full Rambo. I'm not chasing you Rambo to the opposite side of the arena just to stop you from dying when my party members who had the sense to stick together demand my attention xD

Please tell me that not keeping Medica II in effect during T5 is a lolwtfWHM. I think we found a new tier everyone >.>

Wait, what? So you want to keep Medica II up at all times during T5? T5 has like nearly no group-wide damage, why would you want to keep Medica II up at all?

One of the most common "Dungeon" healer problems nowadays. I only know from word of mouth, since I queue as the healer when I run dungeons.

Medica II before pull, Regen tank, /sit.

I wouldn't be surprised to see this style of healing in T5.

Well, that's the thing. Read the post I quoted:

Just commenting, I don't disagree.

Everyone has a level of competency before it becomes lolwtfWHM. And thus, it's subjective before it crosses that line.

For some, there is no bar. For others, the bar's really high.

If you have an entirely new WHM, who's never seen the T5 fight and has never bothered to learn it. Would he not go back to his old healing styles and react to damage as it's dealt, while having medica II running (because that's his style?)

We all agree that it's not MP efficient to be doing such a thing, because we understand the fight. However, in his eyes (and not being used to fights that last more than 5 minutes), he might have gotten into the habit of keeping a high HPS throughout the fight and medica II is the way to go.

Let's extrapolate.

How about keeping Medica II in effect throughout any fight? There's only one fight where that's viable, and that's KB in CT. Agree or Disagree?

If whms are bad for using medica 2, then tanks are just as bad for overpulling in speed running.
Just play the game how you want to play, your here to have fun, not work.

I main as a WHM, and have a rack of 400+ commendations that tell me I'm at least a decent healer. I never played another class in dungeons until now, as I'm leveling a PLD to help my MNK girlfriend who I convinced to start playing. Now imagine my face as I start seeing those atrocities going on. It makes me want to punch the player behind that dreaded sorry excuse of a healer and say something along the lines of "GIMME THAT STAFF! YOU ARE NOT WORTHY OF THAT! YOU ARE NOT WORTHY!

Yesterday I lost my patience and said, after 5 wipes in Brayflox where the healer couldn't keep me alive for more than 30 seconds (if I used all my survival CDs), "OK, that's it, I'm queueing as heals". It was funny when my girlfriend came to me after the dungeon and said "OK, now I understand how bad that other WHM was".

It's madness out there. Madness, I tell you.

You're not reading his post or mine Sumimi.

As that post goes, he/she had a white mage that did not keep medica II up at all times in turn 5 and the poster asked if such a white mage is a lolwtfWHM

edit: Not even asking, it was suggesting a white mage not keeping Medica II perma-up is a lolwtfWHM

.....oh.

Blind to my own assumption I am.

My bad :<
