Healer Confessions

[valoiz2]

My biggest sin is that sometimes... sometimes I forgot I am the healer and the tanks die on me also Eos is lazy, she should be healing right? lol

I honestly have never seen the AST limit break. What's it look like?

There's a pretty good YouTube video showing all of them, and AST is the first. Definitely watch it. The LB 3 itself: the AST floats up and the cards all swirl around. The sky fills with stars (like in CO) and constellations appear all over. Then everyone sparkles and gets their heal/raise. Really beautiful.

If you're a WHM you can make lives extra hellish there by Fluid Aura'ing the bombs into each other.
Not that I'm promoting this behavior. Nope. Not at all.

Like so many others in this thread, I deliberately avoid cleansing Pacification off of WARs who use a "Berserk wearing off" macro

ETA: Also, if that macro in question is a countdown macro (i.e. "Pacification in 3 / 2 / 1"), then that WAR had better be popping his cooldowns like clockwork and/or loaded up with VIT, cause I am not even going to drop Cleric Stance until I've finished casting all my DoTs. Not going to (deliberately) not heal him, just make him sweat a little /fakeinnocentsmile

When I heal, 9/10 i'm watching YouTube because after playing whack-o-mole with HP bars for over 11 years...You can heal in your sleep.

Also when a tank decides to be a dick and act like im not a person and just rushes into things while I only have like 100 mana left...yeah. Someone is going to die. A lot.

Sometimes I like to knock a mob back just to watch them congo line back to said mob lol dance puppets dance.

I hate rolled on an item in void Ark so my co-healer (who was little to no help during the whole dungeon) wouldn't get it.

Even though I already had a better item equipped.

As WHM, if a dps was doing good and then derped, I would say "please don't die" as the cure was being cast.

As AST, if a dps was doing good but then derped, I say "no! Not the enhanced card I gave you!" and hope I have a benefic 2 proc, just for a more immediate peace of mind. No pun intended.

-At one point, I never used Celestial opposition (even though I've been AST-ing more than WHM-ing as of recent) in the assumption that it was just a stun.
I didn't read the whole description, ages ago when I first got it.

-I remember going into Void Ark on WHM, with an AST co-healer, seeing them use Celestial Opp for seemingly no reason/at random and I remember thinking to myself, "lawl must have been a miss-click?", as I never see ASTs use it

-Some weeks-ish later, I was reading posts in one of the posts in here and realized.... it added +5 seconds to everything (buffs, HoTs, etc).... and remembering that AST from VA... and realizing I've been the derp for ignoring CO's existence.
Now I always use it.... and wonder if people think I'm being derpy/don't know everything that it does

-I still google a chunk of skill names, every time I mention them in posts, because I remember the icons more than the actual skill names >_>

-Several times I'll roll into Bismark, etc in trial roul, and forget I still have malefic I in my main attack spot (instead of Malefic II, which I have off to the side for when it's sync'd out). Then cry because Malefic II is so highly visible when I suddenly do switch it, mid-way, that it looks like I wasn't helping DPS the chiton/etc...

Once again, I'm amazed how evil the seemingly most helpful players in the game are xD

My most recent confession:
After raging for months about how much I despise lazy healers who only heal and refuse to dps (especially SCHs, who can let the fairy do 95% of the work!) on the forums, I decided to conduct an experiment.
I once said "I don't even understand HOW they can do that. I'd be super bored just standing there for several seconds or minutes without doing anything!" so I wanted to test if I could actually keep myself from touching CS and my attack skills.
Since I was leveling SCH at the time, I went into low lvl roulette, put out Eos (I normally use Selene), set her on doing all her skills by herself, put myself on auto-follow and.....realized I could go watch a movie, get all the exp, finish the dungeon without ever having touched any button, and even getting all the commendations too xD
Naturally, I proceeded to do the whole thing 3 more times until I got my level up and had finished watching my movie.
I have since stopped, because what's the point of playing a game if you aren't actually playing? But tbh, I now slightly do understand why some healers rather go for the lazy healer route..

To the tank in Sohm Al that I was with yesterday:

Sorry for letting you die to the same huge pull near the start twice. I am not even sure what happened to me there to have that happen TWICE IN A ROW (and then have you give up on me afterwards, can't say I blame you).
