Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent.

....."that's why I kept removing the regen and why i respawned, because you was doing more dpsing than healing...like every other r--arded healer that thinks they need to help DPS instead of focusing on their jobs".....

One of our regulars always turns off regen...
I wonder if they got her!

What? If you are talking about me, I want healers to DPS, and I barely chat at all in dungeons. I definitely wouldn't say that. I would NEVER use that word in-game.

Not my story, but one from a couple of FC mates: Dungeon was Stone Vigil FC mates go in as Healer and DPS. The tank is a very.. Special case. I'd heard of tanks getting upset when a healer is overhealing but a tank that not only goes out of their way to turn off regen and then chooses to deny a res with the statement:
"#nothealing"
"that's why I kept removing the regen and why i respawned, because you was doing more dpsing than healing...like every other r--arded healer that thinks they need to help DPS instead of focusing on their jobs"

I.. I'm speechless. One of those "healers should only heal" crazies.

I mean, I can understand wanting a healer to heal more if dpsing is causing actual issues. But electing to make the healer's life more difficult by actively turning off every regen attempt is just being a jerk.

Did that tank.. actually cursed at your FCmate like that in party chatbox? Because they can actually report them for being an a$$ like that.

Either way, that player seems to be fun at parties lol. I’ve never met that kind of tank myself. Most tanks I’ve come across are actually -happy- if I help DPSing.

So I found out the fun way that Walking Dead level up bug is still a thing.

Qitana Ravel, me on SCH. Rest of party is DRK SAM DNC. The usual mass pulls and slaughter happen, first boss goes down without a hitch. Tank is rotating cooldowns though since they're 76, and I'm a slight bit rusty with SCH, I've been juggling dpsing and healing fairly well for being 76 myself.

Queue getting to the second mass pull before the boss, DRK pops Living dead and being the opportunistic healer I am, I let it pop and grant WD status. I start spam healing, and suddenly he hit 100%...then keeled over dead.

He had leveled up during that pull, had WD active, and the game said 'F*ck it, you die.' Thanks game. The tank and I were wondering what the actual heck happened until I asked a friend on discord, who then explained it to me that it's still 'that thing that will kick you in the balls.'

I felt so bad. I shouldn't have let Walking Dead activate. The pull was cleared, but still.

Or it could be that DRK was healed up to 99.99% + shields, giving an illusion that they're at full health. I had this happened several times and it's frustrating as hell.
Nowadays I almost always let a DRK dies from LD as a SCH then rez them after while trying to sustain the remaining as the rez animation plays because I need to have at least 3 AF & Recitation available at the moment of activation just to heal them out of LD. Something that's not going to be happening most of time in dungeons pulls.

I agree that the best way to heal a DRK out of LD is... simply guarantees to not let them use it. >.>

But you click off Regen for entirely different reason (mob aggro issue), not because you want them to -just- heal and heal alone, didn't you? At least that's what I'm drawing from your stories so far.

Yeah, I click it off a lot just because. It can be annoying on occasion while pulling. I main white mage, and I do DPS, it would be nonsensical for me to suggest in-game for a healer not to DPS. For that matter, that whole quote could get a person banned, no way! I don't know any other regular here (or maybe I have really been skimming too much) that clicks off regen like me. I do think he was just joking though!

I always apologize profusely if I fatfinger a regen between pulls. I'm so sorry please don't think I'm an egg!!!!

The drk was sitting under 30% when he dinged while I was trying to spam shields+healing. My other cooldowns were on cooldown and my fae pact had been used up to where it wouldn't have helped. I popped Dissi a bit too soon on that pull to sustain him.

I still feel bad.

I actually have a question related to Regen. I've only just recently started healing myself, but when you tank, and a Regen still has enough time to last into the next pull, would you be better clicking it off or being especially ready to take all the enmity back? I assume the latter? (Though I suppose if you know the healer personally it might be less chaotic to just tell them to be ready to slap on a fresh one for every pull.)

Also, related to clicking things off, and while not duty finder it still relates to random people in an instance: Friend and I were doing Eureka Poggers Pagos. We actually had no idea that you could click off buffs, and since our bunnies were pointing us straight past mobs far beyond our level, we decided to let them expire. Turns out that if there are bunnies active, the FATE won't start up again.

Instead of telling us this or asking us about it, one player got mad and just brought a whole bunch of enemies to us and yelled at us to "kill our bunnies". We, of course, had absolutely no idea what they were on about and just ran away. The bunnies stayed on until they expired.

In the future, it happened again, and a much kinder player politely informed the instance that you could click them off. We thanked this person and did so.

If the healer is smart, if they get regen aggro they'll bring it back to the tank. Assuming the tank is on top of things, they'll grab aggro right back, unless they're an egotistical madlad.
