Healer Confessions

[gehrtalert]

When the tank runs out without getting protect i have the urge to not cast it for them another time. =_= .

This happened to me a few night ago. I get Hullbreaker from expert roulette with 3 pug friends. They run off and had started the first trash pull before my PS3 had loaded me into the instance. I run in a cast protect but I don't target anyone and I only get me and a caster dps. The pack dies and the tanks runs off out of range while I'm trying to protect him. Tank does it again. I don't heal the next pull and let him die. When he starts over, he lets me know exactly how he felt about it for about 20 minutes with his friends. I end up getting kicked.
You have those 4 man DF runs sometimes where it's obvious youre with a group of friends. Most of the time it makes for an awesome time. I get bored and troll people sometimes so I try to play along a little when I'm being trolled.

I glad I let this douchebag die...

"Point of Advice. Did you know? Spells sometimes have a cast time, you must give those spells a moment before they work."
I said this to a Paladin who stayed in Sword Oath once, forcing me to try to keep up with healing him by using all my lustrates. He died, I swiftcast revive but in the end we wipe anyways.
He respawns first but is already running ahead. He didn't give me a moment to get protect on everyone before hand as he keeps running out of range. When he got on my case I told him protect is kinda needed, he said if I'm a healer I should swiftcast it in that instance. I let him know that the swiftcast was used to revive him prior and it was still in cooldown. Buuuuut if they don't want out buffs, it's their problem.

I'll never waste a Swiftcast on protecting a tank that wants to run off. Call me a shitty healer for it if you want. They can either stay within range for 2 seconds or they can go without it. Especially if the tank is getting lips and is letting aggro run wild. Chances are they don't get healed either.

Can't call you a shitty healer if I do the same
The tank run off without protect
He better work his def CD because i'm not healing more than i should

In any case
Swiftcast protect or any stoneskin is a dead no x3

Had a tank who was tanking for the first time in Halatali.
He moved too close to the 2nd group of mobs and pulled the bombs along with the 3 mobs. He made no effort to pull the mobs off other players, so I was healing 3 people and the tank died.

He says "Heal pls". (You couldn't at least spell "please"? It's 2 more letters...)

So, I did just that. Every time the tank went below 90% health I healed him. Didn't try to take care of the adds in the first and last boss. One of the DPS also made no effort to take care of them either.

So instead of healing / DPSing 50/50 like I usually would in such a dungeon, I Healed 95% and DPS 5%.

It makes me really mad when a tank says "heal please" even though he is the one who accidentally pulled to many mobs and then didn't bother to grab aggro.

It was the first time I was ever told "heal pls" in my life. So yeah, hopefully first and last time.

I...I may have let the tank die today just to get off another Gravity to finish off a mob pack in ex roulette today. Muh deeps.

Soooo I trial roul'd into Levi storymode, last night... I haven't been in there without FC, and NOT in EX, in so long that I:

a.) Forgot when to go trigger the barrier, even while I was right near it (because one of my FC mates insists on doing it, so I never bothered) :x;;
b.) No one was getting the adds so I ended up tanking them. Regened myself so I can continue DPSing them. But then the SCH was the only one trying to help me at that point, so they ended up with one. by the end of the adds phase, I realized I had an aspected regen on myself, the SCH, and both the tanks.... effectively regening half the party + aspected helios regen (because solo healing EX habit).

And then I remembered laughing about a recent post about a WHM regening an entire party rather than Medica II-ing.

D: SO MUCH OVERHEAL. \o/
(I had reason!? \o/ .....*commits seppuku* |||OTL)

I have a 90% wipe rate on the first pull of Aurum Vale NM because by the time I figure out why I can't Shadowflare the tank needs a lustrate. Which of course, you don't have at 49. There is alwaysan awkward silence as the tank dies without a single spell going out from the healer.

I went into a DF and the first thing the tank said was "You better use Cleric Stance." So I healed using Cleric Stance without DPS until the tank yelled at me to use Cleric Stance again. When I said I was he told me to DPS so I followed him around spamming Miasma 2 for the rest of the instance. I got both DPS coms.

I ran Palace of the Dead the other day as healer, and got myself into a group with 3 dps at one of the deeper floors. We were already dealing with 2-3 mobs, then the third dps came running in with at least three more in tow. I deliberately let him die rather than healing him, because I was sure we wouldn't survive the whole pack without a proper tank and I didn't want them all to come after me instead. And because he was the only one with aggro on them, after his death they all returned to their spawn points and left the rest of us alone. I still consider it a sound tactical decision.

When I have to step away for brief moments and someone dies. I make sure to stay in the same spot for up to 30 seconds, then blame lag lol.
