Post Your Healing Horror Stories.

I hate AV so much. I can imagine every healer throwing off their Job stones and saying "NOPE" the second Square says "Aurum Vale HARD is now available."

I hate AV so much. I can imagine every healer throwing off their Job stones and saying "NOPE" the second Square says "Aurum Vale HARD is now available."

I'd actually be a bit intrigued. Though I'd want to run it with my FC because... AV.



Remember when pets were not immune to goldlung? And all you could do was slowly watching them die? Healing AV as a SCH was a nightmare at the time D:

Satasha. I know right how the heck is that hard? Let me tell you. My baby arcanist couldn't choose to be a healer. So I reluctantly joined as dps. So the cnj in his infinite wisdom decided that the only spell worth casting was stone 1. 0 heals the entire run. I counted. OK I filled that roll whatever. Boss 1 wipe. Fluke right? Boss 2 wipe. I'm a bit angry with the healer and other dps for trying to fight their own mobs. Final boss after 2 wipes I figure it out. The tank doesn't tank. No flash. 1 target aggro only. So me and gold carby go in one last time. Saddle the cnj decided not to join us this time. Fish everywhere and I see the tank has stopped taking damage. He started ignoring the boss and went after adds. Gold was tanking. After a giant effort (on my part) the boss I was tanking and healing went down. My chest dropped. Totally worth the aggrivation. Or it would have been if the cnj hadn't rolled need and walked away with it.

That sounds like the most dysfunctional party ever....

This started as a nightmare moment but it turned out to be quite nice. I was healing through a low level dungeon when the tank lost aggro on all the mobs all the time even the one he was hitting. I asked him if he was aware that he was a tank.
The one he replied with gave me a chill through my veins... "What's that?" he asked.
But after explaining to him what a tank did and he should use one or two flash and then cycle through the mobs til' they're dead he was actually pretty decent, no more did I get aggro from him.
Made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and really everyone in the group gave him compliments, I really love the community on this game, ofcourse I've met some annoying players but that's more an exception than a rule compared to another MMO which should not be named.

Just remembered this one: Copperbell Mines, the tank literally didn't knew how to tank, he couldn't hold aggro, I was just a low lvl arcanist the healer rage-quit at the beginning because of the tank, I decided to fill in the tank role with my pet and heal everbody, we finished the dungeon after wiping only once at the last boss, I dunno why I decided to do it, but it was helluva fun.

Last night in stone vigil normal mode I had the very definition of paper tank; he had a tiny amount of hp and a single attack took off a quater of his hp. Because of this I had to cure 2 spam which resulted in me pulling almost immediately because he couldn't hold agro, very quickly the dps and I pulled everything off him which was a death sentence because not even swift and sure cast could save me from the interrupt spam. He also wouldn't wait for buffs and would yolo ahead even when I was still ressing at the entrance. I left first because I offered to take the DF hit.

Another dps turned healer horror story, twice in my roulette as a summoner the tank left for no reason or rage quit and I had to become a healer, tank and a dps using Titan and myself to tank bosses in cutters cry and haukke manor. We didn't suceed in cutters but we finished haukke...somehow.

Castrum Meridianum - The MT decides to go full speedrun after the black eft and without warning pull aaaaaall the mobs from the area up to the pipes, there were so many mobs he had to run around in that small platform so he wouldn't get hit with aoe, results: miraculously only 2 DPS died and me and the other healer managed to swiftcast raise them in time to finish off all those mobs... It was chaos, I barely survived, just AoE on top of AoE, I couldn't understand what was going on screen, all I saw was the health bars going down on the party screen, I had to use lustrate repeatedly on tank for him to survive. After all that I said "that was crazy", he replied "oh? was that too much?"

I basically had this almost exact same story yesterday except that I was running it in full SB gear so I had 2.7k HP and was physicking for about 600 or so HP, while my partner healer was a newbie WHM who was still in AF gear. After we wiped twice like this, the tank starts blaming the OT for not holding the mobs correctly and the WHM for healing too early instead of deciding to break up the pulls. After he said his piece before everyone was gathered and buffed, he pulled EVERYTHING for a third time and of course we wiped again. After which he decided to rage quit. Dungeon went smooth as a babies bottom after I got a friend of mine to help tank it.

Well this one time I was really wasted when I hit 50 SCH and I was pulled into Ultima HM. I'm sure it was more of a horror story for the other parties involved, but I would not say it was a fun experience.

Tanks who ask for Big Pulls. Then never pop a CD while taking 3k-4k dps and the heals are having to dodge attack cones.
