So, I just did a Holminster Switch with a speedrunner paladin. I'm a 72, not Sych'd SCH.
First pull, she mashes Sprint and proceeds to grab the first three pulls right out of the gate without even seeing what kind of healer she has.
Just as she's approaching the 3rd group, I lay down a Sacred Soil. She gets the 3rd group, turns around, and this is like 3-4 seconds after the Sacred Soil was already there, proceeds to stand outside the Sacred Soil and pop Hallowed Ground.
That's awesome. Thanks for wasting my Aetherflow, not like that's an infinite resource or something.
Anyhow, long story short, we wipe.
Get back up, and we proceed to the first boss, I didn't get hit with a single mechanic, healed the fight perfectly.
Get back to pulls, and again, she wipes us a 2nd time by overpulling, same crap as before. Only this time, it wasn't a hallowed ground, it was just her chainpulling and deciding that a two group pull was an awesome idea while Aetherflow was on cooldown. Awesome. What am I supposed to heal you with, kind words?
So we wipe, get back up, get to the 2nd boss. Again, I didn't get hit with a single mechanic, and we proceed to easily beat the boss, without a hitch.
After the 2nd boss, she decides it's a really great idea to do a 2-group pull, and pop Hallowed Ground first thing. That's fine and all, until we get to the part where the DPS were taking their time killing the mobs, and I wound up blowing an Excog, Sacred Soil, and two Lustrates.
Add that up. That's 4 Aetherflow. Surely she saw the two Lustrates popping up on her screen, and if she glanced up, she would have seen the "II" beside my name, which means I had to have just used Aetherflow, right? Her Hallowed Ground is down?
What does she do?
She mashes Sprint and grabs the next two sets. Here I am, two Aetherflow charges, Aetherflow itself is on cooldown, Excog is on Cooldown, and I'm going "Um... I'm not sure what I'm supposed to use to actually keep you alive."
We die, and we run back, and she pulls that same group again. Thankfully this time, everything isn't on cooldown, we kill the group, and go to the last boss, and yet again, effortlessly win (again didn't get hit with a single mechanic).
Not once did she cast Clemency the entire dungeon, and in that last pull, she lingered around the 20k HP mark, she had PLENTY of time to cast Clemency and she should have seen that I was struggling to keep her alive for a few precious seconds. Did she cast Clemency?
Of course not.
She casted Holy Circle.
She would rather die than cast Clemency.
EDIT: I am not going to sit here and say I am without fault, as after the first wipe I got flustered, and I had neglected a button or two, but hot damn, if you wipe on a 3 group pull at the beginning of the dungeon, don't you think you should slow down and/or assist a little with Clemency? Is Holy Circle really THAT freaking important in a leveling dungeon? Seriously, now.
