Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

I suffered total brainlock

I stood there staring dumbly at the screen for a second, started to cast Medica II on autopilot, then one by one we all went down.

I've done that.... last time that happened was my second time into Void Ark where everything was a complete mess... namely the poison room where all three groups had to split up.... half my people were on the opposite side of the room, dying, and the people on my side were dying quickly from un-killed Knots and I'm just staring at the HP bars flying towards zero with the expression of a dead fish..... " O3O ...." (and then spammed medica/assize...)

Oh hey, we were in the same Fate party in N.Thana for a short bit, over the weekend o_Oa
I was the 49 DRK trying to be 'helpful mobby fate tank' but probably making a mess of everything >.>

Small world! Glad to have met you in game.

Nah, fates are always a bit chaotic. I'm just glad for the company.

Had a wannabe dps tank.

Had a i200 ish war in Arboretum who to my knowledge only used holmgang, did big pulls, couldn't hold agro and had 14k HP total (I have 13k to put this in perspective), kept pulling the monsters out the ninjas aoes and wanted to do the whole dungeon in dps stance.

Naturally much death, agro chaos and chat nagging commenced. Later in the dungeon the tank decided to call me a shit healer then pull, loose 2 monsters to me and have me instantly die only to commence a Benny hill run of corpse rushes on the pull.

I said that this wasn't making the dungeon faster as I couldn't dps and aoe as much as I could but I was ignored.

The final boss was hitting the tank for half her HP during the fight, in the end we somehow pull through and I'm left with:

"Whm dps is shit prick"

Oh well that's me told then :| she was also running a parser on me without my knowledge and said my dps was 200 somethin (that's because I had to focus heal you :0)

I wasn't feeling too well yesterday.. maybe getting sick + ultra grumpy due to IRL things + eyes hurt + was falling asleep.. went for void anyway. I've been drging it, but decided to go as sch for the first time. Our tank was a first timer, but everyone was chatty and friendly, so no problems there. The run was fairly smooth up until fake-ursula, allowing me to DPS 99% of the time (while fighting my hardest to keep my eyes open).

It started off well enough.. someone placed marks to keep the parties hovering together, and I was able to DPS without a problem. Somehow, partway through, I ended up on the other side of the arena.. once I realized, I moved back over, just as the other healer called for me to come to our spot.. just to realize I was already there. Whoops. I don't think they had swiftcast though, because they didn't try to do any raises for the random dps/tank vomit-deaths.

Well, somewhere around add phase, I noticed that Eos was no longer keeping things under control, so I switched out of cleric to help with healing. Things.. went downhill from there. Somewhere around the 5th raise in a short period of time, my sleepiness was starting to clear up. I noticed one of the alliances was down a tank and both healers, and HP was low all around. In between cleansing dots and healing/ressing my party, I was able to get one of the other alliance healers up.. but then had to switch all my focus back on my own party. We managed to get to orb phase somehow, and at one point someone called for healer LB3 (I was up with around half hp, but I think all but one of my party was dead, and that one was close). I got it off without dying, but not too long after, every single person in the entire raid was dead.. except me, with almost full health. Until ursula slapped me, that was. >:| It was at least the 4th orb phase, if not longer..

Too bad I didn't grab a screenshot of my raise text.. I remember raising the healer 3 times, tank 5 times, and each dps at least once (sometimes more). My friend and I were amazed I didn't somehow run out of mana.. I saw him singing mage's ballad when he could, and I was fairly on top of energy drain (when not using stacks for heals) and aetherflow.. but still. And so many hard casts..

...luckily, the final boss was a breeze. Didn't get a drop I wanted though, and ended up going to bed early since I still wasn't feeling well.

Another, though both horror and kind of impressive. Went into ex roulette as a full premade, got arboretum. Sadly, the power went out for our tank right before the honey walls.. And he never came back. Decided to go on as 3 man with sch (well geared), smn (well geared), and blm (not his main class and mostly i180). Go go titan.

It held hate, but I had to spam heals whenever it has more than 2 mobs and for bosses.. Had some very close calls with lustrate. The bee would take 75%+ of its HP in one sting, even through an adlo. Luckily the smn helped me with some resses.

Eos won't manually heal titan, so I had to spam embrace as well as my own heals.. But at least her auto heals went to the rest of us. Yay for healing buff CDs. Somehow Titan never died, so go us!

Went PvPing last night with my usual gang of buddies. I recently switched GCs due to some drama with another server, since I was sick of them constantly taunting me in /p and /a chats and throwing matches I was in.

Ended up meeting up with said server in an 8-man premade in 24-man Seal last night. All 8 of them decided to throw the match and ride me harder than a 12 year old rides his first sexual innuendo into the ground.

Anyway, only half of my group was a premade. None of 'em had another healer so I was WHM solo healing. Our first encounter with either GC went really well. And then I guess someone on my old GC must have used a <t> macros 'cause I never got a moment of peace after that.

All 8 of them chased me from North Spawn to South Spawn, back up to North Spawn back down to South Spawn, North Spawn to South Spawn, North -> South, North... then South, and then North and South one last time before I ran out of MP and died. Yes. They chased me up and down the map SIX TIMES.

Then they proceeded to sit on our spawn. Keeping me trapped in the spawn while keeping the rest of my party out of my healing range until we all died and respawned and could finally push them off. Needless to say both of our GCs finished the match with 0 points. >.>

F*cking ridiculous what people will go through for petty revenge.

Honestly I would report those people for harassment. If possible get video or chat log evidence, hopefully the GMs will clamp down hard on that behaviour and it sounds like they deserve it. Sore losers are sore losers through and through.

I'm not in the GC anymore so I can't see what they say, nor am I on their server so it's not like they harass me outside of the instance. I didn't think of getting any at the time because I figured it'd blow over. :\

As for them hounding me in PvP... unfortunately, it's PvP and complaining that I get killed to SE isn't going to get me anywhere, lol. XD

Fortunately, they don't run very frequently anymore, so this was actually my first time running into them since I switched! It just really bothered me yesterday so I vented here (my fingers hurt from all that running and heal spamming, lol).

[Ignnis]

There's being killed in pvp and being singled out and bullied. You could give it some time and see if it blows over but if it continues I'd talk to SE about it. I know what it's like to be on the recieving end of people like this and you really shouldn't let them get away with it

Edit: for chat I was thinking back when you were in the GC.

The Vault.
Squishiest tank ever, from the very first mob group onwards fairy and I spam heals like there is no tomorrow,
my main thought is "omg, when are new atherflow stacks available?" because every hit takes at least about 60% of the tank's HP.
I never put even one DoT because there is no time, and, which is a first on SCH, I am constantly borderline ooM. Not to mention, aggro is all over the place and I waste even more mana trying to keep myself and the others alive.
During the first boss fight, I realize the reason - the tank is not using tank stance at all - or defensive cooldowns, for that matter - but only the dmg+ buffs he has =.=°

After the first boss, the BRD asks to wait a sec and I'm glad because it gives me the time to start typing a message about why the tank should use tank stance, but then I realize that the tank totally is ignoring it and storming off by himself, doing the whole pull until the end of the floor while the rest of the party is still right after the boss room. I try to catch up, but at this point, there is a slight "if you think you don't need us, go ahead and see how well it goes for you"-feeling in me..yet I still try to catch up on time but even though I throw everything I have at him it's impossible to get him to 100% HP before the aftereffects of living dead kill him
From then on, the following conversation ensues:



I know this is kind of just everyday df for many people, but I only had friendly, great or at least ok parties for a looong time. I think this is only the 2 or 3 time in all of ARR and HW together that I left a dungeon on my own.
