I'm confused by this, honestly.

Me too my BLM might get a crit heal of a little over 300hp but that isn't gonna save a tank in any end game stuff

Oh, I dont mean anything on numbers, just that as someone who doesn't play Healer jobs, I find myself healing people more often on my BLM than my Healer jobs.

Solohealed Titan HM for my fc after someone fell off pretty early, on two separate occasions. They go with me to help my bard get a relic and I get thrown off in about two minutes.

It's rare, but I've had such things happen to me too.

My healing horror story was....me. Levelling whm, I main tank. Had been grinding all day and was 3am, should have gone to bed. Rolled low level dr and got cutters, never healed it before. Tank starts off and pulls first 3 mobs and marks them. DPS attacks wrong mark and grabs hate, tank ignores him, which is fair enough, I decide to ignore him as well and let him fight it out. As his health drops, I have a change of mind and go to heal him...too late he dies. I focus back on the tank, oops...health low.....he drops.

3 mobs in and all hell is breaking loose.. Moral of the story, sleep before playing healer, this aint no simple dps role here!

So for once I saw the other side of the spectrum...

Trial Roulette: Mog.

After one wipe, Healer comments: "just keep the boss away from munching the healer's face"
Healer then casts Medica II before we even start :|
Mogs run their way (I wonder why :v)
Hell, even king runs the way a min later
Healer dies
Healer comments: "are you guys new to this fight?"
... I need a /facepalm ... =___(\

They didn't even notice the tanks were undergeared in comparison to them... I mean, tanking Medica II prepull is already troublesome on similar level :/

I have plenty of stories that were just epic fails or moments of pure rage for me as the healer. Most were on trials like Ramuh or Shiva EX. One in particular happened on Ramuh EX where both tanks didn't collect the orbs and got one shot killed, so this dps goes and says, "Where are the healers?" Uh...we're over here having a tea party obviously, totally not raising our dumbass tanks and dps who cant dodge or not stack on each other when lightning bolts strike. Healers get the shit end of the stick most of the time, we're damned if we heal and damned if we try to dps when everyone's HP is full.
