Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

Aurum Vale was, and still is, a nightmare to heal as a scholar.

I have that same problem too! I think he targets healers on purpose, because I swear, no one ever gets the paralyzed debuff from that fight except me! D:


I recently pugged an end-game dungeon for the myths and got the Ultimate Weapon. I think this end-game dungeon is the absolute easiest - I feel like I don't have to heal through any of the boss fights (not constantly anyway) until Ultima, even if there are newbies. On this one though, we nearly wiped at the first boss instance! I don't think any of the DPS knew what to do with the magic hand things, and quite a few people didn't know the outside part was electric. We made it through with no deaths, but I was shocked that we almost wiped.

I think he targets ME! Whether tank, healer or DPS, I get hit by that SOB every time over and over and over again!

I know I hate AV because there still tends to be a large number of people at that level who don't really worry much about their gear. When I pug this, I usually find one person who has level 40 or less gear! Ran it over the last weekend and the healer was complaining that her gear was breaking. Really? You don't visit a mender or mind your stuff regularly? She had level 90 and up gear and everything was broke. She quit before we got to the Cyclopse. Then we got a healer who acted like a 6 year old at every trash mob, so he kited all of them and we had to handle it like we were shooting ducks at a carnival. Just glad I got through it.

To my surprise and dismay, I got AV in my Thyrus atma book right after that! Wouldn't have mattered, I was DPS for that fight, but come on! As the song goes: Here I go again!

Not really a horror story but a "I WANT TO FLIP ALL THE TABLES" story. So I've been farming Garuda ex for weeks now for the mount. Most of my garuda ex runs have been super smooth today but my last run just now... Everything went fine until the sisters popped during the X formation tornadoes. On my server, Tonberry, we normally do the triangle method. So I was expecting the OT to grab suparna and run to the usual place. Instead though, he grabbed chirada and ran to where the DPS was. I was half asleep at this point and automatically placed dots on suparna coz I normally DPS about half this fight.

Next thing I'm realizing I have aggro on suparna. Luckily I had the presence of mind to pull suparna away from chirada and took her to the correct place. The other sch with me was panicking a bit at this point and was spamming all his heals on me. I figured that I'd tank her till chirada died. Instead though, I ended up tanking suparna and then garuda for the rest of the fight. (With how overgeared people are, she only lasted until a bit after we moved back to the middle.) I ended up eating a wicked wheel to the face and survived somehow. XD; Anyway so we win and proceed to open the chest and of course a nightmare whistle drops and of course the dumb tank takes it. It was an english tank too because he was typing in english earlier and when I confronted him about not grabbing suparna, he won the whistle and immediately left. Someone kill me now.

Also, SCH OP KTHX

This isn't a story about me, personally, but I was involved in a party while trying to level my THM.

I was in Halatali (normal) and the tank was using nothing but autoattacks and I think the occasional attack skill? He never flashed or lobbed or anything. I ended up having to tank a majority of the first third of the dungeon before the WHM and I decided to kick him. The issue wasn't that we were having a hard time or anything but it was putting a very big strain on me (interrupts and all), and the WHM. They were struggling to heal everyone. We almost wiped a few times but we eventually made it through after a new tank joined. I was so glad I wasn't healing at that moment.

Sunken temple of Qarn. First boss. DPS didn't know how to kill the bees, and kept not running over the panels. I stuck it out, and healed and raised and healed, till either oom or a bee got me 27, yes Twenty Seven times, before vote abandoning. most frustrating hour of my year.

27 wipes. not a single boss kill. 1337.

Me: Please Provoke!
*no answer*
Me: (Paladin), (Provoke) (please use it)!
PLD (level 50, i90+): Whats provoke?


Me (sch): [white mage name], please esuna!
White mage (level 50, i95+): Esuna?

These were party finder parties with iLv limits for EX runs. These skills were never used. WHM only used one skill: Cure. PLD only used I think it was savage blade. That or fast blade.

=_= Please, people, stop buying your levels from bots and actually use your characters. It is getting absurd how many people don't know what key skills their classes have. If I see another i100+ white mage that only uses stone (stone 1)... And is confused when I ask them to use cure...

I don't mind people who are actually learning. I don't mind people who aren't super high geared. What I do mind is people who want to be carried and refuse to learn.

Gotta love healers taking the blame.

Like in this video anytime something dies its your fault.
I think a few might get a laugh from this. XD
