Healer Pet Peeves

[Rita1989]

I'd also like to add to PLDs who spam Clemency when they haven't even fallen below 50%, thank you. Your faith in me is moving.

Or maybe they are doing it so you can dps especially in dungeons we can usually do much more damage then them so casting Clemency to save us from having to get out of CS is actually beneficial.

^just recently party with pally who did that on every mob. But this one is "kind" enough to stoneskin the dps too.

Its DF levelling for out loud

Oh yeah, those tanks who stoneskins themselves have a 50% chance to do that to their dps too. I don't know if they are trolling or not. I lose all hope when this happens.

Probably the most common in every mmorpg out there...

If you got aggro (as in the enemy attacking you), for the love of eorzea stop running around like headless chicken, less/stop attacking them, keep them at bay and let tank grab them back or use your whatever skill you have to somehow minimize the damage (knockback, stun etc)

I lost count how many times i see someone dead because they got aggroed then start running so far that my heal is out of range, it look so ridiculous guy just keep running either in circle (better) or run waaaay back to starting area (worse) jumping around thinking you could manually dodge their attack ala dark soul segment. Then they die and (if they can type english) ask why i didnt heal them......

- Protect wears off in a dungeon because everyone is so bad at dps that my dps is triple that of the tank and dps combined

I had this happen to me a lot... it makes me cringe as healer.

I had a party in Stone Vigil with a tank who is very undergeared and died on first pull. I got aggro for healing and died. Both DPS pulled the mob to the entrance and it took 10-15 mins of wiping before we killed the first pull. Mind you, tank had 10-20 gears. I know the feels x_x

Non-healers who think it's cool to stoneskin and protect everyone every second.

Well, being a Paladin and Protecting/Stoneskinning someone when they just got revived isn't too bad. The healers could be preoccupied with topping everyone off for a massive raid hit.

They shouldn't be spamming it though.

Nope they usually do it when it's totally unnecessary. Oh and look at their gear - 20 levels below duty level.

I never look at gear, I just assume my tanks are gonna be paper dolls attempting to distract the enemies (and often failing).

So guys, what are your pet peeves as a healer?

Mine is basically using the WoW Logic of "You only heal because you queued for healer." when I can DPS for free if there's literally no damage going out whatsoever.

I'm pretty confident that isn't "WoW logic" considering mist weavers and disc priests heal by doing dps.
