Mine would have to be where i had to tank Titan and i was the healer. That was awesome but still horrible.

I love how that's all you gotta say on that one haha. <3

Mine are all about the same story: hyperactive tanks that aren't paying attention to the team. You know the ones... the ones that aggro three monsters at once alone when the rest of the team is nowhere near them and then they start harassing the healer in chat to no avail because it's ALL HEAL'S FAULT... yep...

DPS: "Hey, I heard tanks have insta queues, I'm gonna play a tank!" + Duty Finder

The End





Or as I like to call it the Derp Finder

my horror story is about Tank who never use flash and agrro 3 mobs. Only one of them is Full hate on him. The other bash on him till i have to cast Cure because his HP goes down. But no matter how long i wait, this "/$%?&* Tank will never ever uses flash. So all the 2 other Mobs turn on me. Last time i didnt cure till the Tank uses flash or get aggro on Mobs....guess what he never Flash so he Died.He called me Noob and rage quit.

P.S : yes i did ask him " Tank can you plz use flash. Thx"

I ran an instance of Longstop where the tank didn't use flash once. Ever. At all.

I think most healing horror stories will inevitably include tanks.


There was this one time when I did Toto-rak with pugs and it was... just horrible. I was in front of the dungeon, about to click Duty Finder, but got partied immediately. So we went in. The tank was silent throughout the whole dungeon. Sometimes he backtracked a lot for reasons unknown (can't read map lol?), or just went/circled around the same area over and over. The first boss went fairly ok, but the second was so bad. He didn't bother to take care of the adds and the DPS (lancer) got the highest threat on the boss. LNC ran around like mad as I frantically tried to heal him because he took massive damage, while the GLD chased the boss around in vain, obviously failing to get his attention. And sweet adds chased me and oh god, how I hated that Slow and Poison.

All in all it was just horrible. I hope I won't have more healing horror stories in the future. *crosses fingers*

Damn seems you guy's got it bad when it comes to tanks. Yet don't get me wrong I've had my share but I've never came across a tank who doesn't use flash. Now that's just NO YOU DON'T DO THAT.

Okay here is a non-tank story!

I cast Cure II on a DPS. The animation finished, the sound pinged, I was ready to cast my next spell, but for some reason, it didn't go through. I watched the HP number only go straight down, never up, and the DPS died.

Seems like some bizarre lag issue? When I finally went "...um I'm really sorry I could have sworn that went through on time" the DPS agreed. It was horrifying to me at least because it looked like I just #$^%ed up.

I've had a few instances where I've had to run circles around the tank with a horde of boss fight adds on me because he wouldn't take them off. Or he'd pull multiple things and the second I had to cast something other than regen they'd all come to me and he'd just continue hacking away on the single one he aggro on.

Clueless/unobservant dps getting hit by every aoe is a big drain on my MP. People don't seem to realize that healing is limited, especially in the early 30's as WHM before you get regen and shroud.

I never have a problem teaching DD's the fact of being dumb (when they stand in bad stuff) I just let em die and say they failed the retard check

The problem I have is OFF tanks in 8 man instances....

OFF tank... your only job is to grab Adds.. ADDS...Why can't you do that right its your only freaking job

I make it super obvious as well that adds spawn... I run up to the off tank so it makes the task that much easier (hell cover me for god sake at least)

Newp not even herp derpington either grabs 2 and that is all she wrote or not even keeps hitting the main boss

This is why healers leave DF.... this is why

Oh also on Hard modes people who clearly cannot listen to simple instruction... again sadly being the tanks (IE This is what you pull, this is where you stand, that is how it is done)

Garuda HM : Tank this is where you need to stand and you have to tank so and so on this phase please remember

"Runs around for 5mins on phase 2 eating all the tornado's" - guys i'm confused /attempt 5

This is why we can't have nice things
