When do you leave a squad as a cleric?

when people are being stupid and cause me to die (on my cleric back in the day) A few close calls, i tell the person to knock it off, another close call I tell the party to replace that member, then if I die or constantly come close to dying I'd leave squad.

That was the first thing that popped in my mind. Then i thought about all the sht you have to go through as a cleric at times and what i find acceptable or not. I think youre awesome for putting up with it. I simply wont.

^^That! b:pleased Or when everyone else has ragequit because of some noob b:surrender

+1 to "when it's finished"

I try to make a point to see the whole dungeon through. If 1 or 2 people are being nasty, there are still 3 or 4 who are generally perfectly polite and therefore do not deserve to lose their heals.

Then again, I have a tendency to nanny-goat my squads. I consider myself something of an authority on people staying alive (as healers, it's our job!) and make sue my squaddies know it. If someone's being disrespectful, I ignore it. If they do something dangerous/stupid, I tell them what they did wrong and we move on. If they're being disrespectful and doing something dangerous/stupid, I let them die, and then explain in excruciating detail why what they did was stupid while they're lying there, waiting for a rez. The lesson usually sticks best that way. b:chuckle

And as a plus, any reasonable squad members will usually back me up. It's a bonding experience. b:laugh

I've yet to quit a squad out of anger or frustration. Then again, I have a rather thick skin for that sort of thing. Like I said, more often than not, it's just 1 or 2 people who are being the tools... the rest of the team just digs in and bears it for the sake of the whole.

I don't often do bh on my cleric, but when I do, I do with fac people, and therefore haven't had to leave a bh squad...

However, if the squad was really bad, and we kept dying, and/or they were really rude...then I'd probably just log off and do bh another time.

I leave BH when it's done.
I leave Nirvana when a fail APS squad lets Vampire Soviern go on a rampage (and I mean 3-4 3.33+ APS in squad and everyone still one shot).
I leave a squad when I die more than once (first time is a mistake, second time is a folly).
I leave when squad members are rude.
I leave when squad member(s) talk **** about faction mates/ friends that have no facts to back them.
I leave squad when someone tries to tell me how to play my cleric, try to get me killed when I don't listen to them and then they die when their attempt back- fires.


I don't leave squad on BH3-3 because that boss is sometimes so easy, while other times he is just a pain the in ****.

Of course when I finished!
And the only one time I had to left a squad was on a FCC run because the archer (Iwannabeabarb) gathered all the magical mobs hall, like if he was a barb, die in the middle of the hall and killed all the squad members............ I just revive all and left, that time I saw enought like to stay for more.

99.9% of the time when it's finished.

However, when someone is extremely pissing me off, I leave. And it's only happened once.

I was doing BH59 a while back, and a wizard at ofo dived straight down into the pit where the boss was. He didn't die at first, just stayed down there. I thought it was strange and called the guy to come out, he didn't answer so I assumed he was afk.

The veno pulls the boss and we begin killing it and I'm healing. All of a sudden the wizard dies when he moves around down at the pit and calls out for a res while the boss is still getting killed. The barb asks me to go res him and everyone stops killing the boss while the barb just runs around keeping agro.

I go down and res him, but he dies again because of the four mobs down there. I res him once more but this time he just stays there and doesn't res. Then the barb dies from the boss since I couldn't reach him in time to run back. Other people begin to die as well and I'm just not quick enough to reach everyone since they had run far off as well from the pit area.

I'm pretty annoyed at this point, but I go and res everyone else. Meanwhile the wizard resses... outside. I had to go through all that trouble to res him and he ended pressing the other button even though the res was ready from the second time.

At first I didn't know, so I asked the squad members where the wizard went. He said he had ressed outside. I say I went through all that trouble and so did everyone else only to have him res outside. He starts to laugh at me and never apologizes.

I ask the barb to boot him since he had caused all this trouble for nothing, but he doesn't respond and I know he's not afk. So I LEFT squad.

Barb reinvites me over and over again, and when I asked him if he booted the wiz, he says no. I guess they were friends.

I go with "when it is finished" usually.


I believe I have only left two Squads in gaming sofar.

One was an FC where the squad was completely ignorant of what to do. I walked in and they said "hurry up we only have a 1/2 hour left and we're on the first boss!". Needless to say I high tailed it out of there.


The second was an FB 99 where I didn't even make it into the FB before I decided to leave. I was only 97 and was asked by the tabber to come because I have the level 11 no xp loss res. When I was heading in the rest of the random 10x squad started going "what you can't even get a 10x cleric you effin noob? eff this blahblahblah"

As I said "sorry, he asked me because I'm sage res" the barb squad leader kicked me. Then he read what I typed and went "OH WAIT NO WE WANT THAT CLERIC BACK INV INV."

But honestly, once you kick you've missed your chance.

I have yet to leave the squad, because if i do (or think about doing it) i'll feel bad for the other squad members. They haven't done me anything, why would i punish them?
I even stuck around with some incompetent barb that kept dying on his pulls, just because my friends were there. In the end he kicked me because i was yelling at him for suddenly running in (while waiting for the wiz) and causing a squad wipe. I might be willing to stay, but i'm not going to keep my mouth shut about it. He couldn't take it and told me i was a fail cleric (yeah right) and kicked me out. Reason why he is the first and only person on my blacklist xD

I leave when my loss outweighs the worthiness of the squad.

When people act like they can play my character better than me b:angry I just hate it when the guy (that's usually the weakest link of the party and is constantly getting everyone into sticky situations) turns round and tells the cleric that they're doing a poor job.

I would leave squad if i realised that the run wouldn't work out (finish successfully) with squad-setup and such, in order to save time and potential squadwipes.

Otherwise, the only other reason to make me leave squad is if i really have to go due to RL stuff.

I can take most abuse and would rather stick around till the end in order to get the exp/drops i need, of course unless something occurs that prevents the squad from completing the task. (that isn't personal or drama related)

I wouldnt leave a squad because then the rest of the squad has to try to find a cleric and that just sucks for them.
.

The cleric leaves the squad when there is no tanker.

I mean, either if there is no barb or the barb is not a tanker.

Tanking means you always go 20m ahead the party and make sure all the mobs are hating your *** out there, before the cleric reaches you to save your ***, coz when the cleric reach you, either your *** and his *** will be saved. The squad deal their AoE attacks, mobs dies and everybody go home happy.

And no, a Mystic will never beat the cleric in versality, mp economy, a quick maneuver that saves the whole squad, and Mystic will never beat the ****ing BLUE BUBBLE, nor the Hellish Red Bubble.

You know why? BE-COZ clerics are the real deal Healers and Mystics are DD's able to heal just like Wizards. Clerics dont need to spark burst to heal a barbarian well.

Edit: I tanked being healed by a Mystic, but she was using Devil Chihou, which she was using to attack meanwhile, thus regenerating less mp and spending lots of potions.
