Healing and you!

You will run into this now and then. So be sure to carry some good health potions or a pocket healer just in case.

As for me I rarely heal during a FATE anymore. I used to run around healing anybody who needed it. Which is what I like to do and they needed some curing. What started happening was that I would get multiple mob aggro from the people I was healing or get adds from wherever. Which is fine because I'm sure those good people I healed earlier will see me in need of help and then come to assist me... Right?... Nope! They always ran off to kill some other mob or left me to fend for myself. This started happening a lot and I had no other option than to disable player health bars and stop healing anyone outside of fellow party members.

So in my case tanks/dps not helping me when I was helping them kind of ruined it for themselves.

I also got this a lot. Once even when I helped out a dying player on his quest, healed him to full and took the aggro from 2 out of 3 of the quest mobs. He finishes off his target, and what did he do? He ran forward to interact with his quest objective.

I sighed and sprinted out of range, then went back to see the same player now fighting the whole 3 quest mobs again from the start, and obviously will die from the damage he was taking. I didn't heal him again.

Same in FATEs. People who aggroed regular mobs would drag the mob around in circles hoping others would take it off him, and I made the stupid mistake of healing those kind of people once. They never, never come back to finish off the mob for you. They leave the mob chewing on you, and go rushing FATE mobs for their gold medal.

Never am I going to save anyone other than the active tank again in a FATE. Never.
