Healer pet pee peeves

[Twilite]

*silently fumes*

I am guilty of this, but it's part of my playing style. Also often the only damage I'm taking is the room wide AOE damage to which I will move within range if I see the healer is beginning to cast.

People who run off before I've finished casting protect.

Tanks who refuse to use their damage mitigation abilities.

Been seeing a lot of new tanks wearing half tank gear and half dps gear.

When I just put Asylum down for the tank and they inexplicably move out of the asylum..... or- I just put asylum down on the tank and they do stand in it..... except they move away to grab an ADD and never return to it.... leaving free heals and my CD wasted ;-;

When they do this I don't heal them when they pull the first set of trash and just sit in cleric stance while DPSing. After we wipe, usually the conversation goes like this:

Tank: "What the f***? Are you going to heal?"
Me: "I'm sorry, if you're in too much of a rush to wait 3 seconds for Protect then you're in too much of a rush for heals. I gotta keep mah deeps up!"

Which usually ends up with either me getting kicked (which is fine since 99% of the time I just rejoin in-progress and say "Hai guiz! We gonna wait this time?" when I get the same party), or the tank ragequitting and me getting a friend or FC-mate to fill in for the rest of the dungeon quick and easy.

Youngins are so predictable these days.

I had a group like that yesterday and I had already had enough irritating situations in other runs at that point that I just did not want to deal with it. Because a tank that can't wait at the start for everyone to be ready is only going to be rushing like that the entire run and that's never fun. So I said something in chat about not having time to deal with a tank that's too impatient to wait 2 seconds for buff and logged out. He actually died on the first pack of mobs in the short time it took me to type that too. I hope they had fun.

On the plus side, I had a series of great runs after that for the rest of the night and had a few 3 comm runs, so that made up for the start of the day lol!

These days I've had some tanks that wouldn't pop a single CD to help me. Most of them are DKN's. Do they have less CDs than the other tanks or what? One CD I know they have for sure is one which icon looks like a pink protect. I didn't see it once from the referred tanks. I know that managing mp with they stances might be hard, but healing without help is as hard or more...

When in doubt, cast medica 2
The WHM motto.

Yeah, that's true. Myself included, lol.
Of course I don't pre-cast it but sometimes in my first run in the dungeons, I tried to cast medica 2 in some fights just in case. And it was worth it!

My pet peeve is tanks/other people telling me how to do my role!

I had one dps shout at me because I was spamming cure and not dps'ing, I went mental.

They had the cheek to shout at me when each of them ran off to mob enemies on their own, so theres me the healer trying to heal each of them, wasting mp on medica and cure and not able to help.

Well if you lot hadnt ran off to fight individually then I wouldnt need to spam cure.

So they still didnt group together so I didnt cure and dps'ed which made that character angry, so I said what do you want me to do? I cant seem to win with you!

If you need to shout at a healer then your obviously doing something wrong :/

When is it ever the best idea to let pets die? Or turn off hud elements like the HP bar above friendly players' heads when they get hurt by default?

Sustain is still a GCD and it only does so much, and I don't care if the SMN tunneled, heal the pet! Dead Pets=dead DPS

The worst of them are Scholars who do the same with their own pets. OMG do they even know the fairy will heal only themselves if they are hurt too much????

- People asking me to Esuna on Brayflox before Selene got her awesome AoE Esuna skill.
- People losing Stoneskin on low-level dungeons 5 seconds after I put it on them, wasting my time because I don't have Stoneskin 2 AKA DPS not waiting for tank to build aggro.
- Tanks who doesn't wait for Adloquium before pulling bosses. I want to put my DoTs up so you better pop yours CDs if you didn't wait for my galvanizing miraculous skill.
- Summoners not healing pets.
- Parties that try to continue the boss fight after I die. STOP.

And what makes me rage quit: mean people being mean to a party member. Go find your healer elsewhere, I'm not healing you!
Aurum Vale.
