Guess it's a good thing they didn't kick you!
I admit I have a shameful habit of letting tanks die because I often like to see how close to 1HP I can get them before healing them.
Been playing since 1.0...I need excitement. This is how I obtain it. Murder. Murdering the tanks for my experiments.
I have a friend who mains DRG and was levelling her WAR for a while as I leveled my AST. I used to play the game of "let's see how close to dying Cherry can go." I had so much fun! I think the record was 27 HP, out of 4000ish
She didn't like that game![]()

In my case I do that for balance
I cannot live with so much benefic or heal done
I need to have blood on my hand
White healer or holy healer are boring
Only the blood of my comrade are good enough...
That's why I love dragoon...

A new goal in my healer life
Anyone else pull LB3 even though you know the party is gonna wipe anyway just to look at and take screenshots?
Just wondering because I never do that...>.>


Ugh, met someone like this about an hour ago - tanking Brayflox norm DF, and I'm geared for Dzemeal at this point, so not overly squishy - but constantly watching my health go to the 2-5% margin before being healed by the AST is not fun, and I imagine less so in the actual harder content. Granted, I didn't die, but a few too many close shaves. Didn't help that the DPS liked to play "Which mobs can we peel from the tank before he's even rounded them up for flash" mode, so lack of healing spliced with occasional chaos. Eventually I gave up chasing if they overnuked unmarked - figured the healer was bored enough to heal more than one if playing that silly game.I admit I have a shameful habit of letting tanks die because I often like to see how close to 1HP I can get them before healing them.
As long as they keep you alive it's all good. I don't really panic regardless if my HP is low or high as a tank. I know that I can work with any HP bar as a healer as long as my incoming damage estimation skills and cooldown timing is accurate. I personally set a 30% HP tolerance threshold as critical and 40% HP as a sign to top off, although not as much if it is just 1 weak mob.
I play like I'm comfortable with my party at all times and don't hassle too much if we do wipe - which is really practically never unless the DPS doesn't do the mechanic or the fight drags on too long.
