Earlier today I recieved a random party invite while being bored so I accepted it. The party was still forming and we were in need of a refresh job, but none were available, so we just grabbed another WAR and headed over to Caedaver Mire. The party was going good, except we didnt have refresh and the Mire was relatively crowded.

About 15 minutes into the party the WHM starts to complain about him being forced to move if we fight the mob to far away. Keep in mind we are doing imps and we do not want him or the blm to get silenced. So we make sure not to travel out as far so he can adequately cure us. About 10 minutes after that incident he goes afk for a fight without notifying the party and an imp gets off thundaga II which ends up killing the tank. I also go down in during this time.

So we raise up and heal, and start exping again but I am kind of pissed because I just died while the BLM is trying to be the main heal. About five minutes after that the WHM yells DO NOT GET OUT OF MY RANGE BECAUSE I CANT HEAL YOU or something along that line. We tell him he can move a little if we are slightly out of range.

Another 5 minutes into the party and an imp pops a little out of camp and our NIN does a pull call right when our puller grabs something else. This is what pissed me off. The whm sits through the entire fight not healing anyone because he is a lazy prick so our party ends up dying and I dc to avoid death and because I am pissed at the whm who cant heal me when im standing next to him with 150 health. Needless to say, if you want a whm that wants to sit in one spot because its an inconvience to move to do your job, invite darkclouds to your party.
 
Oooooo! Thanks, been looking for a lazy whm to exp with us! Everyone knows though that rdm/whm is the only healer you need to get, those guys aren't lazy...

But anyways, suck this guy was being a prick. Maybe he was having a bad day, or was pissed off that he didnt have any refreshes. But then again, isn't 2 tick from gear and sanction enough refresh for a heavy DD party that can kill too quickly to need much healing?
 
I think your whole problems comes from the concept of "pulling"

You actually thought this guy managed to get sanction refresh when the leader asked the mages to grab it. This guy didnt do anything.
 
There are definitely very good white mages out there.

I've come to the conclusion, however, that certain white mages are largely useless in the high-level party scene. That isn't to say that Raise III and an emergency Cure V isn't excellent, and that they won't be snapped up quickly because people are desperate for a healer ... I'm just saying, as a RDM/WHM, there's very little they can do (or very little that they CHOOSE to do) that I can't. I'm sick and tired, in fact, of watching some of them sit on their friggin' asses in parties I have with them.

This isn't the result of a natural deficiency with the job, I think, so much as it is an attitude. Hell, I'd be happy if I could just get them to take half of the hasting duties. Somewhere, a few WHMs got this idea into their heads that the only thing they'd ever be expected to do is watch those little health bars in the lower right of their screen, and stretch a few inches to push their protectra macro every half hour. The worst ones will even require you to scream bloody murder for the removal of a status effect.



My fingers literally start to ACHE when I play red mage ... the pace of action I've got to keep things at is intense. Meanwhile, I watch these dopes sitting on a floating pool of constantly-near-full MP, casting a spell once every 30 seconds at best. If I can't get that same white mage in the party to respond to me when I say "How do you want to split up the hastes?", a hard knot of resentful hatred begins to grow inside of me.

I've named it "Charlie," by the way.



Even when you can get them to grudgingly accept a few hastes, you'll never get them to accept the notion that, with their barely touched MP, maybe they should do ALL of them ... no, that would help me far too much. We're trying to give me arthritis by the time I'm 40, remember?



"l0lz y do i haf 2 u only haf 1?!?!"

"Last night, I was in a party in which I was hasting five people, refreshing three, main healing, dispeling, AND crowd-controlling. You're bitching at me because you don't want to haste TWO? No more Refresh for you."


Oh, also? Stop casting enfeebling magic without warning me first. While watching resist after resist populate the chat log is hilarious, it can get to be a little tedious after a while. I've got it taken care of ... really, I do. I'd call it a waste of your MP, if it wasn't for the fact that you've got a glut of the damn stuff. What's more, in the off-chance that you'll actually land one, and prevent me from casting my more potent version of the debuff ... we've basically got a gimped effect on the mob, and I've got to wait for it to (inevitably) wear off gimp-early to reapply. If you want to work up your enfeebling skill, use Dia 1. It's never resisted, and doesn't get it in the way of anything. Thank you.

So many problems could be resolved if people just sat down and talked things out, and agreed to their roles before a party starts. Alas, when I try, I am generally met with the "l0l dat boring letz jus go" response. Yeah, sure, let's just muddle through it, and hope everyone just rushing to do the same thing at once will eventually work out on its own. That's efficient.




Let me reiterate, I'm not bashing the job ... just the frame of mind I see in a few that are playing it recently. I absolutely adore good, experienced, skilled white mages. Those that are like the one described in the original post of this thread, however, are the bane of my existence.
 
As a WHM I liked doing all the hastes. As a RDM... I like doing all the hastes.

Hastes are mine, mine! Hands off, haste-whore.
 
and to the OP, what the hell is a blm doing in the mire? Go to bibiki bay with that.

Maybe he didn't mean Cloud, the FF character, but maybe he ment Darkclouds as an adjective and a noun.

el oh el

Its sad cause I know a few "dark-name-'s", and they arn't noobs like most. They just have the name because they have been playing for a long time, thus making their name when they were like 14.

It would of helped if I was the leader.
 
haqha ...funny

This is kinda funny i was thinking about makeing a post here about him but he did it for me i guess ...

I ran into this ""player"" a few days ago while low level farming in the marshlands, Now mind you i was a level 51 bst and can clear out the spawn of leaches and cralwers pretty fast so when others come in there normaly smart enough to try the other spawns, but i respect people who respect me and as long as you dont steal from a kill i am going for i can share ..its a game after all and i try and behave

Anyways he was a whitemage So i didnt really think of him as big composition and turned around , pulled my axe out and right before i attack he pulls it with dia dispite there being 2 other leaches right near him.. I told him if thats how he wants to play good luck getting a kill and then i ran around showing him what a bst can do and started ticking him off , charm is a much better pulling tool then provoke and dia hahaha

I got like 5-6 kills before he got one and mostly it was cralwers , but somehow he was like "haha your not effecting me i got 6 blood drops already"
i told him that was some magical cralwers cause i was jacking all the leaches for the last 20 minutes

More things happend to make him look like a fool but i am way to sleepy to detail any more here
 
edit

About the Cloud and sephrorth thing


I -would- agree with you all on that fact but we have one in the flock

the first time i seen his name i was like lolsep
Sooooooooooooo i cant really say anything about it




there watching ...shhh
 
The WHM Union is watching, be careful with what you say. Names get added to the list thru the years. When you shout for a teleport, they go over the list. When you are lying dead somewhere and a WHM looks like he is taking too long to pop his <Raise III> macro, yes... he is looking at the list.
 
I'm a lazy whm in the respect that I split up Haste assignments if there is a rdm so we do not overlap and waste mp. Other than that, does not sound like the guy was prepared even without sanction I mean 1mp per tick is better than nothing at all.
