Big Damn Healer moments

[SwordswornFox]

After seeing the horror story thread, I want a place for healers to share their stories for when they stood strong and said 'Damn I love being a healer!' I don't have one cause currently been tank focused here in ffxiv.

Me on WHM, and 3 FCmates, PLD, NIN, and BLM running AV. In the first room our BLM DC'd. We decided to clear the first room while we waited--then the first boss, then the next set of trash, next thing I know we're at second boss. Now our NIN is brand new and not very attentive to mechanics, but hey let's give it a shot.

I wish I'd counted because I must've Raised the NIN a good 6 times. Our PLD knew the fight but it went on for so long that he started getting a bit sloppy so I had to raise him 2-3 times. At one point I was hurting for mana so bad from this Raising that I just kited one-eyed willy around the room until I had a good 2/3 of my mp back. One shot the boss (eventually).

We continued to complete the run just the 3 of us. On the last boss the adds were heavily dependant on Holy, but the second boss fight was legendary.

Every single time I save someone's arse with Essential Dignity or Nocturnal Benefic in Frontlines.

2 manning Titan HM as a WHM with a tank in DR, because for some reason the majority of people, even at 60, still can't dodge bombs for shit and floor tank most of the encounter post heart phase.

7 commendations, feels good. :3

As Astrologian and there's a huge boss aoe and I don't have to do anything because HoT heals everyone up.

Or when Tank is heavily hit and DPS is and I heal both up with Synastry.

AWWW YEAH!

Honestly, the times where I most feel like I love being a healer is when I'm not currently healing, but have to watch someone else do it D:

The moments I love is when you time a heal perfectly and it seems like a massive amount of damage almost never happened.

Exactly, especially when you hear the "CHK!" sound of building the Limit Break by healing someone out of critical HP. My favorite times doing this were in T5, landing Cure II as Death Sentence chunks the MT, but before the Infirmity debuff takes effect. Pure satisfaction there.

[Saseal]

Every time I manage to time Cure3 correctly for a boss' burst damage (Megaflare, A1 when the bosses land back on the floor, Titan EX, etc).
When I'm able to react fast enough to SC a SS on someone about to get smacked hard x.x Doubley so when I'm able to look out for my co-healer (Camaraderie! Healers untie!)

As for individual moments.... I don't think I do anything particularly special to warrant a 'big damn healer moment' story x.x; *Is boring OTL*

[Codek]

every time I see everyone is dead and the boss is at 1%. I begin my Lightspeed-Dots-Kite-Self Heal-Pray routine and it actually works out.

Spoiler, it usually doesn't....
