Healer Pet Peeves

[Fernosaur]

Please, let me cast protect, you have the precious stoneskin II, use this time to hard cast it.

my co-healer feels the need to recast protect a few seconds afterwards. No MP wasted, hardly any time wasted, and yet it feels like my co-healer is going out of their way to overwrite my buff with theirs for god-knows what reason.

There's nothing I hate more than double Protect casts. Even when I'm on PLD and I get a WHM on 4-mans, I'll cast Protect asap so that they can start casting SSII, but they always overwrite my Prot after just hanging out doing nothing for like 10 seconds.

Also in 8-mans, specially when I get AST+SCH I just cast Protect in case they want to Stoneskin every party member separately, but they always overwrite it twice, even.

FFFFFFFFFF

Just the other die I was in an 8 man as an AST with a WHM. I casted protect as he casted stoneskin 2.. he then went and casted protect after the fact. WHY?

Macros for raising that say "Stop being bad and get up" or the like.

Macros for Pacification with countdowns. Please no. If you want to macro your pacification so I can esuna, just say you have Berserk up and I'll keep an eye on the diration of the buff to esuna in the first second of Pacification.

Healing with other WHMs because I feel like they are mimicking me. Seriously. I cast Medica II, they proceed to cast Medica II, I put Regen up, they do the same, even when I use Assize they do it too. URGH

I encountered another that is more system-caused than player-caused. I hate the fact that other classes who cross-class my abilities can use those abilities when synced down but I can't use my own abilities because they're higher level spells, like Stoneskin. I think cross-classing should keep in mind when the abilities are available and provide access accordingly.

Somewhat off topic, because I am a newbie. But when assigning cross-class abilities, is it actually an advantage to place the highest-level cross-class ability in the lowest level cross-class slot? Because level syncing just shuts off cross-class slots, not abilities within a slot? Am I reading that right? Assuming that's true, why does that bother you that someone else has your ability in the party when normally level-syncing would prevent anyone in the party from having the ability. Isn't it advantageous to the party that the ability is present even if only via an oddity of cross-class skill implementation?

Put them in order of usefulness. as a scholar I always put cleric in slot 1 because its the most usefull one they have, and who needs protect in any dungeon under 30. having stoneskin in slot 1 for example would be useless. be less than 50 hp on your tanks in the low level content. having swiftcast as your first cross class would also be useless as you would never need it.

or a dps putting invigorate as there first cross class. at low levels you are never ever going to run out of tp unless you sprint. putting blood for blood first would be much better.

[Vaala]

You get access to your cross class abilities from left to right as you assign them, and assuming you're on a Job and not a Class, you get 1 every 10 levels up to 5 total. So level syncing at 24 for example, you'll have access to your 2 left most cross class skills, regardless of what actual level they are at.

- When the co-healer casts protect over mine, seconds after mine has already hit everyone >_>
- When paladins do the same thing.
IS MY PROTECT NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU!?
;_;

- When tanks stop between chain pulls, so I diurnal aspected benefic/regen the tank.... and then they suddenly take off again to continue chain pulling
- When casters/ranged apparently need to be on the farthest end of everything when there's a lot of AoE healing to be had
- Relatedly.... When the casters/ranged stay right by the entry to the fight/arena and the tank pulls to the end...and the rest of the party are melee. Sorry, but, I'll be AoE healing the majority of the party, now (and shaking my fist at the ranged/casters as I have to single heal them after AoE healing when I probably should be focusing on mp conserving/the MT).
- Nobody stacks on the MT, when Titan jumps, for the touchdown heal any more -3-
- When I swore I hit Noct stance between pulls and SC an aspected helios on everyone... but I was still in Diurnal (regen), instead of what I thought was Noct (shields)... and then I just look like an idiot.

This one is just me being weird, I guess...
-When MT paladins stop in the middle of everything to heal themselves when they're only missing 1/3 of their HP and I'm already casting heals/benefic and not at all hurting for mp. Trust me, please? So that I may trust you? |||OTL

I thought I was the only person annoyed by this, but apparently so is everyone else. When this happens I just want to bonk them on the head and yell, "Pay attention to what you're co-healer is doing!" Also, as a sch I hate being paired with another sch because we always end up battling each other over who gets to put up shields.

Just went DF with a warrior that make criticism THE WHOLE RUN.

"You healer? Thats a dancer outfit, why you dress like that?"
"Use noc trust me iam AST too, it got buffed now"
"Give me atk card pls, iam war my dps is better"
"Dont run around guys zzzz"
*ready check at almost every mob*
"TP song pls cant u see iam at 50%" to our brd
"Atk same target pls" DRG keep attacking "small" target first

Halfway our brd left and guy keep nagging nonstop saying its not good leaving in the middle of run and continue with his "experience and heroic tales"





I block him Later on =P
