my co-heal WHM not wanting to use Medica II and regen because of too much enmity produced by those spell...

This was me in i130 in Titan HM. XD

Tank with an i55 weapon?

Yeah. I'ma just Regen him and Medica once every 90 seconds... Shroud isn't enough to save you if the tank is bad/undergeared.

Ifrit ex last night in DF just cuz I was bored and love the fight. The other healer was new so I explain the healer debuff, tell him about placement, and all of that good stuff. Tank starts, all dps eat the first eruption while running straight into me as I have inferno howl or whatever it is. They die. We wipe. Start again. I explain to them to stay away from the rebuffed healer(who is marked and standing at a waypoint). Tank pulls and they eat eruption and run into healer. Wipe again. After a few of these wipes, they finally figure it out... Until the new healer gets the debuff and stands in the center of the arena, blowing everyone up. I tell everyone that they should watch a strat vid or read a guide on the fight then EVERYONE starts berating me. We try again and fail. We can't abandon... Nobody is learning... We don't ever get echo. Screw it. I leave duty take the penalty.

I got the same thing everytime i join an ifrit ex PF
And usually I just let him die and proceed to solo heal the fight..

Because it's easier to solo heal the fight than having additionnal damage to take care of...

Oh undergeared tank is one of the biggest challenge XD

Got one too which was trashing me because I was healing to much for him to keep aggro.
I didnt bother answer because one DPS just put him in his place by pointing that having a low-level weapon and not using shield oath was not the heal fault
And I was surprise to read him praise me for not letting the group wipe.

Please... I'm a healer... You will die only if I let you 8D

Even if I hate those tank... They are a great training in mana management and aggro control.

There were several cases where I refrained from using MDII because people weren't picking up adds and Shrouds won't do shit when I'm the only one with enmity on them.

Nothing is worse than Benediction firing off on a dead corpse though.

So how to you put up with the sound for SCH only abilities when a good bit of them make the same sound?

[Serret]

The first time I did Haukke Manor in this game, the gladiator refused to use a shield and a belt.
On top of that his gear was terrible so he took quite a bit of damage.
I think I nearly ran out of mana on some pulls.
Aggro management was equally exotic.
But we managed ...somehow...

And this is in A3! After THIS person wiped 4 people running into them with a tether. I just don't know what to say. But I feel like soon I will be able to make a collage of chat screenshots.

The Alex Normal Weekly Nightmare... You know what, I gave up on DPSing there (outside of A1) unless I have an awesome party. Most of my runs end up with 1-2 wipes because someone doesn't care about mechanics.

Yesterday my party had a Bard die 3 times to lasers in A4 because he moved. After the third time he got Nisi. Really, WHY bards and machinist always 'moonwalk' towards the healers? Stay in the center, damnit!
