Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

[Fevelle]

DF Ultima's Bane. Party was me (WHM), SCH, PLD, WAR, BRD, BLM, BLM, SMN.

Bard didn't use Foe's Requiem one single time.
Bard died for plumes.
Bard died for Garuda.
Bard got hit by Titan and laser by the boss and died.
Bard died to Ifrit multiple times.
Bard was dead the overall fight.
Bard also didn't help soaking balls and we wiped 7 times because balls were colliding.

Add to this mess: a BLM casting Blizzard 2 at least 2 times/minute, for whatever reason; my co-healer, a SCH with an ilv80 Titan book and overall lv45 acessories and the fact that no one (save me and SMN) knew how to deal with the crashing airships (with the purple waves, just like A1 jump).

7 wipes. Did it with 20% echo + tank LB because the BLMs+BRD didn't help soaking balls and they collided every single time.

I forgot to mention that this was in a roulette, so it was synced. It was still a bad time with people ignoring stuff and causing wipes.

Queued for Leveling Roulette on my SCH hoping for something easy. Get Sohm Al. Tank is good and very paitent, waiting for both Stoneskin and Adlo before each pull. We get to the last boss and healing it is a bit trickier than it felt on my WHM and AST, about 10% left on the boss and the BLM says, "y u not dot more" before promptly standing in 3 different AoEs and dying faster than I can Lustrate.

Gee. Maybe that's why.

Nice to see you back as a Miqo'te. lol

Yeah, in situations like that I would generally tell the DPS off after he stood in the AoEs. Buuut I've kinda gotten fed up with being treated like a miracle worker so I don't old back anymore. >_>

There is never any time to do anything else in that fight. Geez people who never healed need pick it up sometime and learn the truth..

mfw people call me out for not dps'ing and the entire reason is because they're standing in 9 flavors of stupid:

[DarkmoonVael]

Decided to run some A4 on AST for relic items in df. Holy mother of god it was bad.

One group, the MT decided to run around doing other stuff whilst tanking, like orbs, triple tethers and adds. This meant that they were not holding aggro, the OT was in quarantine, so the boss just murdered everyone down the list when the MT lost aggro. MT wasnt new, just bad.

Another group, the SCH kept running on top of me when nisi was out, guess what instant wipe. Turned out they were new, but didnt say anything. Lover people like this, content with wiping groups rather than ask for tactics etc at the start.

Another group no one did anything with the adds, except the darknight OT, but they were usually in quarantine when adds spawned, but when they came back they did their damnedest to get the adds under control. Sadly it was usually too late as they had murdered one healer and were on the rampage after the other.

Another group mechanics were just bad. Several people going after the same orbs, all getting hit by the aoe and no one holding back to wait for heals. Wipe after wipe after wipe. Funny because i was managing one set of orbs by myself, whilst the OT was handling the other set, yet people just kept on following myself or OT and die a lot. Also tethers not handled and mass deaths.

I gave up after 4 runs taking 70-80 mins to complete......i just wanted those 4 tokens to complete another set of 10.

Sounds like about every run in A4 I do... I'm also used to take one row of 3 by myself, orb>cure>orb>tetra>orb and then I have all the time in the world to cure myself. Yet, everytime there is THAT guy who just can't stand still and will try to outrun me, causing 2 orbs to explode at us. I usually get out of it alive, as we healers have a higher Mdef, but the dps always dies. And I can't stop cursing out loud

Dude, right? I can take all six by myself if I have to (scholar OP) but DPS act like I'm glass or something. It's like, you see me with a galvanize up camped out right in front of an orb yet you run over there and explode it on both of us and now I have to heal you too. It's even more frustrating when Perpetual Ray takes out either me or the DPS that blew the orb up on me. Dx

And then when the dolls come out they are nowhere to be seen. Some people just like balls too much.
