Healer Confessions

[bounddreamer]

@Raji, I do something similar, if a run is going well, I'll greed only, and pass on stuff if I roll high; if a run is just going okay, I'll greed everything and need if I have the option; if the run is going great I'll greed everything even if I have a need option. And if anyone asks, I'll pass on something I don't need/want if the run is going well.

Best thread on these forums. It can't die.

If my connection is bad enough...

I will leave my fairy on Sic. I know, everyone on the forums says to control her manually, but I can't help it. If my connection gets that bad, it's better that the AI controls her than letting her skills go to waste because I'm too busy raging at the terrible latency.

Hmmm. I think the only confession I have is how ridiculously passive I am as WHM, and try to heal through anything and everything, and likewise take the blame anytime things go wrong. I'm not sure why I speak up more when playing SCH. There is a shift in mentality when switching between the two jobs.

I know this kind of confession is a bit vanilla for this thread, so I do have one that's a little more dark. During my first Titan NM run, I got knocked off by landslide during the final phase. Sitting at the bottom of the pit, tears running down my face, I secretly wanted all the others to die too.

Oh, and I also blamed the tank (a RL FC mate) on FC chat for rushing in w/o using ready check. This was a big problem because all my abilities were on CD due to switching cross skills like a noob. I was helpless the first 30 seconds going in and panicked. All I had to do was place Eos and cross my arms while the CDs expired. Nope, not me. FC tank showed he can take emotional blows just as good as physical ones. I think. I still feel horrible.

This happens to me about 30% when someone dies, and I want to rez them:

[name] died
*presses Swiftcast, targets dead player, immediately followed by Resurrection macro (yes, I put pseudo-queuing in it)*
It's not over yet, [name]! {Ressurrection} <se.6>
*<insert any skill with cast time here that's not Ressurrection>, goes off instantly*
...
crap

I have a few confessions...

- If I dislike my co-healer for any reason, and he dies... He just stay dead.
- I have a bad habit of giving my Boyfriend or friends heart attacks for getting there HP so low when they tank..
- If a dungeon takes too long or is tedious... I tend to fall asleep..
- If DPs feels like tanking, that's cool with me but don't expect to get heals.
- I still tend to forget about cleric stance and lustrate.. Im sorry! Blame SE for changing that.
- I hate ASTs who stays in Noct Sect when I am SCH... To the point that if my boyfriend is tanking to do everything in his power to kill the AST...

If you do an early pull when I'm with my co healer and we're still explaining the battle to new people no one is getting a single hp back... unless it was an accidental pull, but people usually apologize for that.
Also, I'm starting to be wary of crowned people, I admit I watch them a lot more than other players because I kept meeting the worst ones, i guess?

Confession?
I hate healing. I main healer in PvP as there isn't enough of them.
But it's absolutely not something I enjoy. But I'll keep doing it because the feast is fun, as is most PvP modes.

I have a few WHM confessions...

I like to tank some DF dungeon trash pulls sometimes. Regen myself and holy spam. It works sometimes, doesn't others.

Some trash pulls don't get healed through. Tanks can manage cool downs and dps can be good enough to not need it.

I stand in the middle of ifrit's HM and sometimes EX attack where he shoots across the arena. All of them. Just so I can look cool healing myself through them.

I have no interest in doing a different heal job.

I overheal for no reason.

I eat a lot of unnecessary damage for no reason.

Fluid Aura gets used regularly in my dps rotation. Sorry melee.

Dungeon runs where 2 dps single target different mobs don't usually get heals either. I try to be watchful for AoE or DoTs but if I'm sure it's not then I won't heal you when you take agro. Most of those runs can be ran with 1 dps while I stance dance anyways.

Benediction gets misfired more often than not.

I used to not know the tank cooldowns but I've picked up PLD and DRK recently. Sorry if I've been stunning thru blood price.

I spam Stoneskin sometimes.

I don't like to heal other WHM in DF runs. Heal yourself.

Raise doesn't get cast if it's not Swiftcast. It takes too long.

I'm play on PS3 and my controller is kinda jank. It likes to move slightly to the left sometimes and interrupts my casts. It's pretty friggin annoying and I've caused wipes because of it. It doesn't happen all the time but every once in a while it makes it unplayable.

I regularly forget healers can LB3, in THordan, and the LB3 bar is often kept in tact just for that. >.>

I excessively use my swiftcast for AoE heals in Seph EX (though, I think that may be normal) between phases outgoing damage (after green/purple circles and shielding AoE before the jumps in the first half) - and I have no idea if that's normal or not.

We have a SMN in our FC that actually likes raising people.... but I tend to raise people almost immediately, out of sheer habit, a few seconds faster than she does - even though I know I should rely on her to grab them for us :< /grovel

I have a bad habit of taking over the heavy healing instead of splitting it between healers... (I'm only a slight healing control freak!... but I think it's because I'm used to solo healing undermanned stuff with FC o_o)

I am that person that normally picks "no" when a vote abandon pops up during DF trials >.>

I sometimes hit Essential Dignity too soon during Thordan's tank buster combo (after dragon's rage), if something has messed up my healing rotation at that point (and I know a heal cast time won't make it in time before next TB, at that point), and forcing me to rely on ED to catch the first tank buster....

I killed my FC co-healer once or twice in T13 with the twister-like debuffs by stacking on him D: (Sorry Olyver! .....though, I won't lie, I had to control my laughter at seeing you suddenly ping-pong across the arena... :x;;; )

I find myself, in 4 man dungeons, excessively aggressive while on WHM, moderate on AST and like a frightenned Mi'qitten - too afraid to spread some DoTs - on SCH. o_o

I 'Booooooo -3-' out-loud to myself when I see a SCH or another AST, in DF parties, already in Noct..... because I want to be in Noct stance more often than not
