How I feel when I play Slaughter Mode as a healer...

[Eul]

Well this makes me twitchy sometimes when I, as SCH, the only healer, with 3 tank and 4 melee. And in this condition what I do is just let them die slowly and painful, cuz they don't even know how much should I suffer to wait Aetherflow cd, my finite MP, and limit lustrate.

It is really one of those situations where it feels like every melee dps/tank thinks I'm their personal healer retainer that will follow them into battle at any cost. I'm sorry but if healing you requires go past the halfway point between my huddle and the enemies huddle your going to die over there. It's especially annoying because as healers we are programmed to feel bad for not healing/ letting people die but there is really only so many places i can heal at once. It is also not mathematically possible for 1 or even 2 healers to keep a player alive in that situation, you'll go down in the 1.9 seconds it takes to cast a heal we just can't possibly keep up unless you have a team of 4 sch just spamming lustrates on you. What I would honestly prefer is "going into cuddle buff plz" so I could at least stoneskin and adloq you. It won't help much but at least it's some kind of buffer

Oh man this happened to me the other night. I told the ninja if he had a problem to heal with me, and then complain afterwords and he switched to scholar.

He apologized after we lost.

It's not that stressful for me, I put a giant triangle above my head and tell everyone if you're not in range you're not my problem. Everyone seems to accept that I'm not chasing them so if they die it's their own fault. I've only ever had 1 bad experience with a dragoon since playing.

I would be the one under the stairs running after 30% HP Warrior and other 3 running after me running after him ._."

Im well aware of the sucidal attempt but, the objective here is to kill him and run to jump pad and run back to healer with 5% HP expecting heals XD

sometimes it work though >.>"

Im sorry for stressing you healers :<

Healers Can't do Miracles, DPS (Especially melee) have to be smart or there ain't no Cure/Adloquium/Lustrate/Benediction, that can save you.
You gotta stick together and mind about your own HP.

When I tab through the party list to try and target a dead player and can't because they're out of range... that's usually why they're dead. And running into a group of melee players on the other team to get into range to cast a raise is usually not a good strategy. A good way to look at it is if you're dead and can't tag target your healer, they can't do the same to res you so might as well port back to the base.

I've started Frontlines on my Maelstrom alt (no one else knows who they are, I'd like people to form an opinion of how I play based on firsthand experiences only) and so far I've been getting lots of commendations every match as SCH. Part of that though could be from getting all these new player type achievements while keeping the team up for a win.

As a WHM, I find that the game devolves into spamming Esuna more than anything else. Even then, I can't Esuna from across the entire map, so if someone's going to run off, that's their own fault.
