Healer Confessions

[416to305]

+1 on leveling AST lol. I got mine to 56 and just left it because I was having so much trouble in the newer dungeons and felt like such a new player, when as WHM I'm honestly really good! I'm not sure if it was a big or not but I play on PS4, and I literally can pop heals, flip to CS, do a bunch of DPS, and remove CS pretty much without even looking at my hot bar or buffs/gcd and just focusing on the party and be able to pop it off and get back to healing. I can honestly count on one hand the number of times I've accidentally been healing to find myself still in CS in the past 8 months, like it just never happens because you can queue the removal of CS. Anyway back to my point, when leveling AST I don't know what it was but CONSTANTLY even when I'd be paying attention to it, I'd be healing and it would still be in CS! It was like I'd have to hit it twice sometimes. It wasn't consistent though, just maybe once every 4-5 pulls or so but just enough to make me notice it all the time when it's never an issue as WHM. Now though that they fixed things more in 3.07 I find it much easier (or rather similar) to WHM and I haven't noticed that issue with CS. I used to feel so bad doing those new dungeons first time as WHM, no wipes no problem, and then sometimes wiping during just a normal pull let alone a boss!

will post this cause its the 1st time I "accidently" let a DPS die, I say accident but I & probably the DPS saw it as intentional

Fractial-1st boss: BLM is the DPS in question, just sits at the farthest from boss possible & gets hit by 1 of those big Cone AoE's he throws out twice (I healed them back both those times, will state s/he did "try" to dodge, using try loosly here, but being so far from boss made the cone max/no-escape time size) I now think "okay u do that again no heals for u" which they did (their at half HP now) I think "Good now u'll dodge cause u'r not getting healed"... next big cone their at max distance... half-assed dodge atempt... dead BLM (boss HP 20%) my thought in order "O.o">"-_-!">"Fuck it no raise for u"

BLM try'd to insult me for not healing lucky me PLD tank backed me up.. can't remember what I said back but it was something about standing closer

I feel you there, I was healing Aery for the first time yesterday and had a bard who kept standing as far away from me as possible. They took a lot of damage from the first boss and it came to a point I was like "screw this, it's the tank or you" and focused on keeping the tank healed. They moved a bit closer after that...but not much.

Uh... Joined the group on Bis Ex. Got to the first stage and no cannons fired. Wipe. I got assigned right cannon. Got to the third stage and I derped just enough to not fire it I don't know what happened really, just a lack of focus I guess, because I knew mechanic. Been yelled at and party disbanded because of me. I felt very very sour The thing is, the party was pretty good and I'm sure next try we'd do it no problem, but... oh well.

That doesn't really give it away. I mean there's still a few dungeons I've ran 1000s of time and still haven't been to every room.

The problem I have with messages like that in regards to that "bonus" message is, if I'm trying to clear several times and we keep wiping, the "bonus" still sticks til you clear. So even if I've seen the whole fight, I'm still locked out of most PFs.

I throw a regen on the MT and then Cleric Stance up for 80% of the fight. Please solo heal the group newbie co-healer!
DPS/Tank died? Co-healer please rez I'm busy DPSing!
Hehe I remember when the senior healer of my old FC would scream at me in chat if I dared pop Cleric during an 8 man.

[Twilite]

Haha yeah.. all my derps 100% come from forgetting to turn that off.

Oh man, I did such a dumb thing yesterday on my one Aery run before maintenance. I was running SCH, and the DRK was unusually squishy, I wasn't able to do much more than dots and bane on all pulls, and boss fights after some initial dps required almost full healing. So I was already in the mindset that they were a pretty squishy tank, but on the way to the third boss, after two solo trash pulls he did a three-mob pull and his health kept dropping...and dropping...and dropping; I was throwing E4E, physicks, adlo, lustrate at him and nothing made a dent. Right before he died I noticed he had cleric stance on, so I swapped but it was too late to save him with another lustrate. THEN, he returned! The dps finished off the remaining mobs and I apologized for my idiocy for still having CS on, to which he said no problem. The rest of the run was issue free. But, needless to say I got no comms from that run.

I accidently clicked the wrong key and was healing myself and didn't notice till he was died.........
One of those face palm moments.
