Ok, there was a Squad i absolutly hated. We were Running an FCC and instead of waiting for me to get Sparks they Ran ahead and started doing the Routine..except i wasnt ready.
So then they run ahead while im Saying "WAIT >.< i Didn't get my sparks yet!!!" and by the time they realised that im not ready, they are dead. Then i tell them to at least wait for me to get my sparks. Then yet again, they rush ahead and im without sparks from the last BB. then they Troll and kick me...

    Yep, you'll always run into people like that. A lot of the time now everyone wants to rush through everything anyways, so they don't care what the cleric needs. >.<

    Nothing new. Just let them die. If they are rude, give them the finger and leave. Bonus points for leaving right in the middle of a pull.

    Ppl like that, that made me quit my Cleric.
    Thing is, if you leave it takes them another long time to find a cleric.
    for you it wont be that hard to get another fc.

    Get cloud eruption on genie and use it to gain chi, you could sacrifice a chance to holy path to 'rush' with your squad though...maybe carry speed pots and chi ones, should make you ready to BB on each pull without waiting.

    Indeed. Let them die. There's 2 aspects of this.

    1) They are not concerned about dying. Obviously because they get a free rez. However, cleric has to town. Cleric gets buttf****d in the end. Stand up for yourself, and if you don't have chi, and they run ahead, wait there. Let them figure it out.

    2) Rush squads = noob squads. I never EVER rush squads. There's nothing difficult about doing even the wuss hall pulls to the shade and killing them there, never mind pulling the entire hall to the shade. Rush squads are a setup for morons getting cleric killed then having an obstacle of other mobs in the way when cleric towns and has to come back. Every squad should defer to the cleric/mystic in this case. As a general rule, don't rush. If one must rush, at least get the hallway cleared first.

    You're the cleric, so you MUST be aggressive in standing up for yourself or simply lose the XP and stay quiet.

    By kicking you they made it seem like it was your problem you "couldn't keep up with them" when in actuality, if they want to go ahead they should be able to do it clericless.

    Stand up for yourself, let them know its their problem. They die, say "maybe you should wait for the cleric if you can't solo?"

    As stated above, cloud eruption on a genie is awesome and instant. No stopping and waiting for channeling like sage chi skill. You will also develop the habit of constantly healing... something. Just to build chi. Plus charger orbs are nice to carry. If you can't bb then IH your tank only. Make sure one person stays alive and you can rez the rest after. If they complain, let the squad know that if the tank had waited for you to have bb they would have survived. Make it the tanks problem. If DDs see theres no bb then they shouldn't over aggro the tank so maybe its their problem?

    However, the higher you go the more people will rush instances. Mostly because they can solo them. My clerics genie is the only one loaded with magic so that I can constantly HP and constantly cloud erupt and occasionaly catch up and Absolute Domain a basically dead squadmate and keep him alive for 5 seconds while I heal. As a cleric you rarely are the first one in, thats the tanks job or the DDs jobs, but that means its sort of your job to be right behind them or communicate way ahead of time you're not ready.
