AK, after a wipe at demon wall

DPS: hey healer, next time, use Medica II and Regen on the tank so we don't wipe, ok?

I am a Scholar and it's not in my book T_T

(for his defense, I was terrible at Demon Wall / for my defense it was my first time)

My first time as the first to leave was Stone Vigil. I was the only one who had been there before

Tank could only hold aggro on one mob (and no marking), summoner used titan (on the same mob as the tank), BM broke my sleep. Generally slow killing.

I got healing aggro on every multi-mob pull. We wiped in the first big room on 2 patrolling dragons - because standing in the red is the new black.

It had taken me three tries to finish it myself, and I knew this group would never succeed - so I pulled the plug.

Honestly the worst is off tanks not knowing what off tanking means. Second is DPS that think they can ignore adds and burn boss when they have crap gear. Basically a crap ton of people looking to be carried.

Ah first demon wall. Mine went something like "okay this isn't so ba....Oh god floor....Okay slowly getting the hang of...oh god why was i knocked off!?" "Okay so middle for repel...Got it...Cool okay i got this OH JESUS CHRIST ADDS WHY ARE PEOPLE TAKING DAMAGE OH GOD I'M SLOWED AND EVERYONE IS DEAD" After this some guy in the party called Walter got really mad at me and eventually i managed to sort myself out but for the next couple of times i still paniced when i saw the adds and stopped watching the floor.

That moment when you cast Benediction and you die right after you cast it. This has happened to me multiple times and it has decided whether my party wipes or not And i have to wait for the cooldown so i can't use it again in the next fight

AK... my God...

My 3rd run.

First boss, I die because we couldn't burn the boss down by the time the last add spawned, it AoEd and one shot me and the DPS ;-; tank managed to finish it though.
Demon Wall. I'm very good at this fight, it's fun The tank? Not so much. Knocked off, EVERY TIME. About 5 attempts later, the SMN DPS left. We got a Bard, and managed to defeat the boss.

Last boss... ugh, I'm a total failure here. u-u
The first attempt, I didn't see the second AoE and wasn't able to move behind the stone in time. Second attempt, I thought I was behind the rock, but the tank had the boss literally on the stone so I couldn't see very well. I died. Next attempt, Dodging AoEs perfectly, feeling good about it. Omg... what happened? Everyones taking major dmg! *spam healing and doesn't realize I have purple laser* *Lasor kills me and the DPS* Bard leaves.

BLM comes. 1st AoE I dodge, second AoE, IM RIGHT BEHIND THE FREAKING STATUE AND I DIE. WTF!? The BLM was standing there with me, and told me I wasn't behind it, even though I was lying RIGHT UNDER HIS DAMN FEET. Other BLM was loling because I shouldn't have gotten hit. Last attempt, 7mins left. We can do this! Nope, nvm. I do great at dodging AoEs, am wary about lasers, and then... ofc with my luck, heavy is tossed on me, I'm standing next to my fairy who has an AoE marked on her from an ad, I struggle to move out of the way, but I'm going 2 steps an hour, and get hit by the AoE. Bosses HP was less than 10% and the ads killed everyone because I couldn't heal them.

FML. Tank: "Jon, I ****ing hate you right now"

What terrible if you're not the healer or the tank... You're just an Arcanist and you haven't gotten Scholar yet. The tank runs through, pulls and focuses on only one enemy. Because the healer is being swarmed is only healing herself just frantically trying to stay alive. You the Arcanist have to tank all the adds yourself with Carbuncle while healing yourself, the mage, the dumb tank, and all the dps guys. Luckily we didn't wipe and love my carbuncle to death for it. >_> That was my least favorite PUG...

aurum vale as scholar.....

also anytime i try to let shit DD's die Eos is like LOLNO!

[Nekomataempusin]

I found this way funnier than I should have.





And it only gets better

I love you guys for this right here ~<3 My story was from today. I did my first healing run ever, ant it was Tam-Tara. The tank said nothing, and hardly pulled anything. The archer did most of the tanking, and he died twice, which made me nearly die from shame. But he was cool about it, and knew the tank was being derp. He even stood still so the tank couldn't run ahead a few times XD

Not so much a healing horror story - but since I am a WHM main I could totally feel for the poor CNJ in my Toto-Rak Group. I was the tank and kept marking mobs - The CNJ wanted to sleep mobs that were in packs of 3 (ie Warden Whip and Louse Mobs). So I gave him/her a marking for the sleep. Arcanist kept attacking mob#2 First then the Slept Mob but would never touch mob #1. I'm trying to hold everything on me but the minute I generate enough threat on one he changes targets and manages to pull the mob off me. The poor healer is spamming to keep me alive and then eventually to keep himself up because every mob is now at 15% health instead of being dead/slept.
