Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

So anyways, at the end of the SUCCESFUL duty (did I mention SUCCESSFUL with no wipes and everything bad died in good time) the WHM mage curses me out and yells at me in ALL CAPS saying that I need to stop healing and that healing is his job.

Ouch thats a bit harsh of the whm =/ did you say anything back? i can relate though when i was my Arcanist i always ended up healing party members too, the healer always leaves them to super low hp before they heal them >..< i can understand that they were just trying to save mp though and trying not to waste their heals. but still that was a bit of an over reaction from your whm =/

So anyways, at the end of the SUCCESFUL duty (did I mention SUCCESSFUL with no wipes and everything bad died in good time) the WHM mage curses me out and yells at me in ALL CAPS saying that I need to stop healing and that healing is his job.

So I guess I should've just let people die? I mean if everygthing is healed I have no problems with healers doing some DPS, so if people are about to die shouldn't the DPS do some heals? (In four person instances, I know Primal fights are different) I sometimes hate the duty finder....

I wasn't there, but the whm might have a point. Early on, I was running with a summoner friend who thought he'd "help me out" with the healing. The problem was that he's heal just a split second faster than me (physik vs aldo), so I was basically wasting my spells and he was wasting his dps. Yeah, the target still got the shield but it was a bit of waste.

While not entirely a 'horror story' I'm still quite confused about what happened during a wanderer's palace run I did. (This was on duty finder btw).
Just as the instance started, I had a quick look at everyone's gear and weapons. The dps (Dragoon and a black mage) had standard gear, decent enough to do a normal wp run. Whilst the tank had full darklight with several pieces of ilvl90 gear. Comparing my gear with the tank's I'm thinking we'll be able to do wp no problem. I mean, after reading some of these posts it's obviously the tank's fault right?
The instance started, buffs etc, and we walked forward. The tank however, was just standing there behind us doing nothing, until he said something like (these aren't direct quotes).
Tank: Wow, sh**ty dps again.
I mean, it was obvious the dps had lower gear than him, but you could tell the dps put at least some effort into their gear. I could see some wp gear and a ilvl55 grand company weapon. I decided to be reasonable.
Me: It's duty finder, what did you expect?
Then the tank went on arsing around with the dps. Complaining here and there, so I snapped and said:
Me: Just shut up and do your job.
Apparently that worked, and the tank didn't say anything until the pull was dead. Then he paused and said:
Tank: I don't wanna play with you.
Well tough, I don't think elitists should deserve any sympathy, especially when the run was going just fine. Considering he was being mean to the dps, I replied back with the same.
Me: Fine, go cry like a little b**ch then.
The dps however, said nothing during the entire time! I don't really care what they say, say something back to defend yourselves.
So the kick option appeared and all 3 of them voted to kick me. I was shocked, really. No idea why the dps would put up with a tank like him.

I'm just a few myth stones away from my next scholar piece, so I sign up for low level dr. Copperbell Mines with a glad, pug, and arcan. I figure this will be easy. First pull, the pug rushes in and the glad doesn't even try to tank. The arcan tries explain to them how to pull and things, but they continue to ignore him and he leaves. I consider leaving too, but its easy to heal them, I can do a fair amount of damage to things here, and I really just want those last myth stones.

A bard joins us and we continue on in the same manner. First boss is no problem because its just kill everything. We get to second boss, bard and I try to explain fight. I think they were listening because they didn't kill the bombs, but the tank didn't pick up the slime after it aggro'd on me when I healed him. So, I held the slime and tanked the fight while the bard did the bombs.

When we get to final boss, I suggest burning him down because I don't think tweedle dumb and dumber can handle adds. The bard and I keep trading hate on him and he goes down quick enough. And after the strangest dungeon run ever, I get my scholar gloves.

Fun healing story here. Or horrifying, rather, and I wasn't even a healer role.

I hit 44 with SMN and queued up for Darkhold. The PLD was not doing a good job tanking and before we even hit the first boss the WHM left. The PLD keeps going and I, having already sat through the queue twice because the first party all left at the first pull, stuck with it. I end up tanking a group of four mobs just spamming Physick on myself (Ifrit was out and didn't have time to switch to Titan even with Swiftcast). Then we go into the first boss and I'm pulling triple duty - DPS the boss and adds, keep the party alive, and tank the 2nd add that Titan can't hold. The fight lasts 10 minutes with the PLD and DPS only fighting the boss, but we pull through.

Shortly after a SCH joined, but because the PLD refused to use Flash, I'm still using Titan and doing heals/DPS. We did manage to win with less than 10 minutes on the clock, purely because the SCH and I healed the PLD through every single attack because he wouldn't dodge.

CT can be such a joy sometimes... I already had really cool CT pug runs and then again... there are runs like this:

At the first room of CT one of our tanks just rushed in and aggroed the whole room -.- We healers couldn't react fast enough to prevent him from dying. So I ressed him up. In the meantime our other tank had taken the aggro but he kept the lizard mob positioned in a way so that everyone got hit by its aoe...then he kept standing in the purple stuff...it was complete chaos and eventually everyone wiped. After that the first tank kept insulting us healers in alliance chat, saying how useless we were etc...x.x

It seems to me most of the CT runs are ugly, especially if you DF even your own group. That's what happens when you put 24 strangers together and ask them to cooperate :/ Never seen such a high level of stupid and jerky at the same time.

Yesterday I ended up in a ridicolous one. Had worse as far as wipes go but this was mostly...ridicolous. Someone always went to attack bosses right away, without asking if groups were ready or waiting for people to be buffed (since everybody was dying all the time in stupid ways, even protect had to be casted at every battle) or hardly for everybody to reach the room and not be locked out. Adds not dealt with at all most of the time, or dragged on the healers, aggro all over the table and people spread all over the rooms instead of staying in groups, bosses turned towards people...and what made it so bad was that the ones causing the wipes were complaining the run was going too slow, and when someone complained about what was being done wrong was laughed at. It was like being in maternal school. CT went now from fun to wth <.<

Omg... I had the worst CT group yesterday, worse part is it was my first time in CT. So we got Alliance A,B,C; I'm in A party with a friend from my FC, so he's tanking, while I'm a Bard. So Right after we get in, you can see what's going on. So our group isn't told anything, so we just follow everyone. B, seems to be organized in some way, but C... ooh dear. So we get to the first part and instead of waiting for the people left behind in the beginning, C then goes right ahead and start attacking, more than half the raid is stuck on the other side of the wall, including my friend. So I try my best to stick it out, but I get killed because no one said anything, just attacked. C keeps getting killed, and B seemed to know what to do So I was Rezzed and kept helping. Soon the part was over and the wall comes down and we continue our way, then we go to the bone dragon... Once again... aggro from C, B goes in and tries to be organized, we are just trying to pull though. Soon loads of people start wiping and lots of healers died because the C moves aggros and twice I got killed by AOEs. I finally give up and just go and rez myself to the other side of the wall and join the others. You can start seeing lots of party members start leaving and insults start going around from other groups and C is just gone, no more party members. So we just raged and quit right then and there.

So next time we are def going with our FC, at least that would make thigns a bit easier.
