Healer Confessions

L1+touch pad fixes that. Had that happen to me before as well.

I once let a WAR OT die in AN4 because he was giving me attitude. He didn't want to intercept any orbs/tethers/dolls and told me (the WHM) to do it because he "didn't want to". So I waved /goodbye to him as he got sucked into quarantine with 1k HP. The SCH didn't mind.

During Leviathan Extreme raid, another healer never cast AOE healing skill or heal the Sub-Tank because afraid of "Briny Mirror" debuff on Sub-tank which required 16 stacks to trigger the stun effect. Whenever Leviathan used AOE damaging skill, I've Divine Seal + Medica + Medica II to heal the team and emote /slap another healer until my debuff goes off. At the end, Sub-tank died to Leviathan's tail 3 times (Swiftcast and Raise after he died) because I've only cast stoneskin + regen on him as a White Mage to wait debuff goes off (while /slap another healer).

I guess if we're doing this, I might as well add mine in.

So once there was another healer in a raid with me, a WHM, and they were refusing to leave cleric stance, which made me a very overworked AST. Anyway, eventually I ran out of mana, so everyone died and blamed me for "Not healing enough". So I left and entered with a team of people who I know really well.

That run was so much better too, because most of the stuff that dropped was healer gear

Lol haha some of these stories are hilarious.

so this one time in The Aery as a WHM, this Derpgoon kept getting hit with everything so the first boss he ignores the one hit kill move and I res him thinking oh maybe a mistake but sooner realized by the second boss that he was ignoring all impending dmg and mechanics cause I was stupidly healing him so he stands in the boss point blank aoe and takes massive dmg and got poison, he yells out "regent plz" I ignore him he then dies lol then I reply "I'm sorry FC chat was taking over my chat and that the tank was almost dead" lol the tank a WAR just burst out laughing and proceeds to tell the DRG to get Gud haha

So wrong but felt so right

Also, I almost never have an opportunity to save the party with LB3 so when that moment actually DOES come... I forget I even can oTL.

So much this! Happened last night in a DF Alex 4 normal run. I was so focused on trying to heal people and getting the tanks back up, that I never saw the calls for "heal lb!" in chat until I was dead too.

This happens to me far too often, as well x.x Too busy trying to keep people alive to even think about a function I rarely ever get to use.
I moved the LB bar over my hotkeys, more towards the center of the screen like my focus target, exactly for this reason and I STILL manage to ignore it >_> (and this often translates over to when I'm on DPS...)

My boyfriend and I spent 3 hours trying to get the best Cure II crit instead of doing something remotely productive.

You cast Cure II.
 Critical! Kallistra Noblus recovers 18129 HP.

So worth it.

[EDIT] Just so people know how we did it, if they chose to be that bored.
Warrior in Defiance
Convalescence
Mantra (on Warrior, none of our Monk friends wanted to help out :c)
Scholar who used Fey Illumination
Divine Seal
i196 WHM

We did try it on my AST as well, we got 17k but the chat log doesn't record the 40% heal that Synastry gives and no one saw the exact numbers. >.< Not to mention that we had no WHM in the party so we were missing the MND bonus.

some days ago, roulette EX, (n)everreap
random dps alwasy runs ahead, tank (in ts) rages more every time. at the last trash pull before final boss he runs ahead again and we decide to just sit down and let him handle it himself. after the inevitable death he insults me and gets a votekick for it (wasnt me that initiated it, but i surely clicked yes)
after clearing final boss it turns out the other dps (not the one we got as replacement) was a friend of the kicked one, which made me feel kind of bad
sometimes you have to let dps (and tanks) fail so they learn, but its just sad when it develops this way
