Thank you! This is only my second MMO, but I am not new to healing. The feeling is the exact opposite to when you save the asses of an entire party when SHTF. I'm ok with a PT wipe when I know I did everything I could to save it. I thought I was healing in cleric stance, but I wasn't. The tank was simply taking too much damage, and my low level butt doesn't have the utility yet to keep him alive in those instances (I don't even have cure II, which would have been all I needed).

I know I have to have a short memory, and it was needed to dry my tears away, recollect, and get my butt back on the saddle. I definitely agree that every good, and even every great healer is going to have a lot of wipes to talk about. My nephew is an FC mate, the other two were DF pickups. He put some blame on himself as well, saying he knew he should have tanked in a dungeon I've never been to, but he also told me that I DO need the experience of things going horribly wrong.
