Healer Confessions

[Pells]

<snip>

If you're not comfortable with a player initiate a kickvote. But don't let the other two players suffer just because you want to teach a single dumbass a lesson.

These are confessions (see the post title); the posters already know their behavior is bad form. It's also highly likely to be a shared experience among healers.

There's no need to call anyone out here or educate them on proper play.

confession time (deep breath)

Took a fresh 50 scholar friend in to titan HM for a trial by fire, I was co healing, we got titan to 30%, I selected my friend and waited.. then at the right moment waved /goodbye to them and then walked into a landslide. they panicked so much it resulted in a raid wipe and I couldn't stop laughing.

T9 killed the main (solo) tank due to "lack of heals" cos i was healing my wifey. told my wifey this and she was super pleased.

more than one occasion I've watched a DPS intentionally pull extra mobs and I've de-spawned Eos and watched the dps die to the adds they pulled, then swiftcast eos back. Sometimes my faerie is just to damn nice and wont let me kill them.

Fallen asleep while healing in WoD and Sohm Al, resulting in multiple deaths both times.

often if somebody pisses me off I'll let them die just so I can use my vicious raise macro on them. that makes me smile.

Really depends for me... I've had some really bad tanks, healers and dps that just couldn't stay alive no matter how much I tried. After the third rez you kinda give up on them. This led to a Iffy hm run that lasted 15 minutes or so with the only people still alive being the MT, myself on WHM and other WHM that I had to rez once. With myself and the MT the only two that never died - rezed all the other DPS multiple times.

Someone once mentioned that the WHM idle stance is to cutesy... just look at that smile... it's the smile of someone that knows they have your life in their hands are just contemplating what to do with it mwahahahahahaha.

But yeah might avoid healing DPS that pull ahead of tanks - and my friends do the same - be them on tank or heal. One DPS was amazed when one of my tank friends told him there's this interesting strategy he's following... called tank pulls. I couldn't stop laughing at that.

A3S, I was on solo healing duty until the split. Got comfortable enough with the fight to know i could just keep regen and medica 2 up and throw one or two heals here and there before the boss starts its bitchslap routine, so the rest of the time is spent in cleric stance.
At some point someone takes more damage, I drop cleric stance and heal them up. From that moment, my stance dance was completely messed up and ended up realising too late that I was trying to solo heal the AoE bitchslap in cleric stance, leading to a dead MT and, soon after, a wipe.
Nobody was paying attention to me, so the MT was blamed for not using a CD in time

In my defence, after coming to terms with my embarrassment, I did say it was not the tank's fault, but he was still held responsible cause his CD wasn't up in time.

I leave parties that don't wait for buffs at the start. Don't have time to wait for protect? I don't have time to be here.

I just don't re-cast it, you run out of range you don't get it, then I get to watch you burn.

Paying to much attention to mobs HP bars and getting cleric dots out and then suddenly I'm taking agro or a dps is and, oh, oops the tank died i didn't even see

Or wondering why I'm giving it my all but the tanks hp bar is sitting still, oh cleric still on again

I've also been known to purposely let a tank die and then sufficiently keep the dps and myself alive while also providing dps just to prove a point

and my regards for others safety and risks is null and void, ill egg you on into doing a stupid impossible pull for giggles

then theres the times ill let my co healer die if they annoy me and comfortably solo heal just to rub it in how much i don't need them anyway this run

but my fav is when i solo heal a solo tank ramuh ex and run right around and infront of ramuh in the "instant kill tank buster zone" right around the times it goes off and narrowly avoiding it just to make my tank possibly cry and shit themselves

~the party doesn't start till everyone is at 3HP~

Here's my second confession.
I have a bad habit of forgetting about cleric stance. The partys usually don't mind if i own up to it.
And a lot of time i hit the Sprint button by accident instead of a heal.

I was told to kite the adds for the first boss in Cutter's Cry. Being pretty brand new to MMORPGS (this is my first one ever!) I had never heard the term before nor had I ever done this strategy here during previous runs.

I told them I didn't know what that was so I was offered a brief explanation. ("Just run.") Then off we went. I started to kite the adds but neither DPS were picking them off and they weren't killing the boss fast enough either. I tried to stop and heal myself but, of course, I was immediately murdered by the adds. In the end we won the fight right as I died so it was no big deal... except one DPS began to be super passive aggressive and generally bitchy at me for my inability to kite properly and how "wow I guess we weren't clear! Kiting means run as in move your legs!" And they just kept going on like that.

So when we got to the last boss I stopped healing, let myself die and then left the dungeon.

I'm that healer that will heal you back to full even if you only took a smidgeon of damage. I have control issues. :/

And sometimes in CT I liked to get a little bit aggressive just to see how many adds I could healtank.
