Healer Confessions

[Surged28]

Had a really bad paladin tank in neverreap. Almost never used a CD & stood in everything. Kept pulling with provoke and then not keep aggro because of it nor try to get it back. Kept giving him advice, explaining what to do calmly and nicely. Ignored the whole time. Finally after second boss (which he again lost aggro several times nor did he ever try to move a totem). I told him to start listening or I am done healing him. He did it again so I let him die just before the giraffes. I didn't raise him. I had the DRG i queued with tank the rest of the dungeon while i healed her, the bard, and myself and just ignored the paladins existence. The guy had 200 weap/shield/chest & rest 180s. How you get that far and still cant hold threat in neverreap I don't know.

I don't mind if you are learning (even if you should know by expert roulette) but if people are nicely and calmly giving advice when you fail and you ignore it and continue to fail, then don't expect me to heal you.

- I have slept through healing dungeons more times than I can count. If a run is particularly long or tedious, or if I'm just really tired, I struggle to stay awake. Normally I'm all about stance dancing, but once I start getting drowsy? I wake up every ~10 seconds to throw a strong heal, plus end up running into walls when trying to follow the tank. An object in motion stays in motion.. a sleepy healer with her eyes closed runs in a straight line.

- (bosses have been pulled this way. Even in CT)

- If the tank isn't on top of aggro, I will happily pull adds and tank them while dpsing. I rarely watch my healer-dps-aggro.

- "Why didn't you res the dps/tanks?!" "Died too many times and I knew we could finish the boss without them."

I'm so guilty of that.

I'm guilty of "forgetting" to heal bad tanks and dps

I let friends die, if they get on my nerves. I purposely make them feel safe and tear that feeling away and enjoy it

At one point me and some of my friends were farming the Triple Triad card drop from Cutter's Cry and so we were switching up roles to not get bored and started playing this game where we would wait to see how low our PLD friend's hp will get before we have to heal him.

My record was 1 hp xD

Do you see that orange icon with a sun? That's a damage buff. Stop messing around and I just might give it to you instead of the tank.

I've killed my friends and party members plenty of times, though I will confess its usually because I'm more focused on a chat then actually healing the party. But those that know me know that, regardless of letting them die a lot, lol, I am a good healer. I outright tell friends yeah I was in chat sorry, lol. But if it's a random party I usually make something up like sorry button got stuck, lag spike, or I do actually say chat distracted me for a sec.

One of the worst things I hate is seeing a healer, especially a Scholar, be just plain bad. And not the normal, you can tell they are having a bad run, but the, this is how they play, how did they make it this far, run. A bad run usually has a lot of death, lol, but with a bad healer, you may not die, but the play style seems off. When I "fail" I will acknowledge it and say something to notify the party, or if I have a derp moment. But I will admit hating when the entire run is smooth and a have a derp moment, for whatever reason, and everyone bitches; like seriously!

I accidentally over-wrote an enhanced Balance that was only maybe 7 seconds in, with a normal Balance.
