Let me guess what happened: IMS Bastion of Lok. Tank rushed in and pulled the whole room and died due to KD. Healer couldn't keep up as being new to the game and healing class, but tank still rushed forward. After 1 death tank has zero stamina, after 6 deaths the tank has zero crystals, which means he's a one-shot (if he wouldn't have before with lvl 11 armor).
You may not understand yet what I'm talking about. But the game Tera is concepted as an easy starting game. Thus an overpowered weapon is given to every player for free, called "Avatar". You can cover the whole dungeon without heal and tank if you know how to utilize the weapon. Old experienced players also come with lvl65 innerwear, correct crystals, Elite buffs, potions, etc. which makes them practically immortal.
So we can't judge how your healing is. But as a new player, you are allowed to make mistakes. As said, healing and tanking is the hardest task of the group. For this, you may want to look for a nice small guild with laid back people who teach you the basics.
When I started my first steps as priest, I had no idea what spell to use, where to position, who to heal first. I met people who taught me step by step what to do, advancing to a full-fledged healer. At my peak times, I was even the healing supervisor of a progress raid group.
1) Never enter a dungeon with the "I am new, so I am entitled to make mistakes" mentality. Not everyone knows how to empathise, so don't expect them all to understand that you'll inevitably make more mistakes than an experienced player.
2) Always make your situation known to the party ASAP. Players tend to be more forgiving if you tell them you're new before they even begin the dungeon, since it'll feel more genuine and less of an excuse as compared to telling them after you die/make fatal mistakes.
3) If the group is resolutely unwilling to keep you in their party just cos you're new, don't waste your time reasoning with them. It's better to get kicked before getting into any sort of combat and find another party who will accept you, than stubbornly staying in that group where no one will be happy and then get kicked after a wipe. This way, you save yourself a dungeon entry, and also play with less stress/in a lighter mood.
4) Toxic players are everywhere. Don't stoop to their level and let them affect you. Instead, just ignore them and get the dungeon done ASAP so you won't have to see each other again (hopefully).
I prefer to give advice if i can afford them and i feel happy thinking about they'll be better after some practice.
I think this mentality is disgusting, honestly. First of all we really don't know what happened the first run. I doubt the tank literally wasted backstep to jump out of your heals over and over again. It could have easily been you messing up the position of the heals. In fact after the 2nd or 3rd time it missed I'd just use Focus Heal a lock on heal that they couldn't run away from. You have way more than just 1 heal in your arsenal. But the point isn't "Am I bad?" or "Were they bad?" in fact to give someone a very opinionated description of an instance and ask who was in the wrong is literally fishing for people to go "oh poor baby, of course you weren't in the wrong".
The next run doesn't necessarily mean anything. You can still be a bad healer and have a really good party. The tank could have been decent just not great. There are a lot more factors involved and looking at this as "well nobody died in the run without him so I MUST be good and he MUST be bad" is just awful. He was one tank in one dungeon in IMS. Why does this have to be about good and bad? You're obviously not "good" compared to other priests because you're a new player. You could easily be a good priest for your amount of experience but I bet there are dozens of better priests on your server. So no, nobody dying in your run does NOT make you a good healer. I don't want you to think your instantly a good healer because you had one good run. If you were really a good healer you could have probably heal carried the tank and he should not have died 22 times unless to 1 shot mechanics and if you got to the point where a 1 shot mechanic happened in your dungeon 22 times then....your DPS sucks. Literally if you just stood like 8m away from him and hit focus heal on him over and over, he shouldn't have died even without blocking unless it was a really hard dungeon. I don't expect a new player to be good enough to just heal carry a guy through his face tank though. But I also don't expect someone to tell me they're a "good" healer when they're in a dungeon --that can't be that hard of a dungeon because you're a new player-- and they can't out heal the damage dealt.
Please just humble yourself and move on. It was one bad run, you're not getting banned for "healing bad" so there's no reason to be all "I'm good" and "you're bad" that's just not the mentality people are going to want to play with especially when you're new...and quite frankly probably not that good as a result.
edit: idk why it won't pull my quote up in the actual quote citation, sorry.
To answer your initial question, no, you cannot get banned or have to go through any disciplinary action for not being good at the game. Only if it's obvious you are trolling, and even that needs a lot of proof to get anything even remotely considered.
We will find ourselves with a lot of random players and parties that do good and parties that do bad. I have few healing dungeon experiences since I just healed the level up stuff with a mystic and a priest. But from what my experiences tell me I can give a few pointers.
One, I don't dps in a party unless I'm absolutely sure the rest of the party won't die because I'm in combat speed and can't reach them quickly enough. Or because I forgot them because I'm focused in dps. Healing, at least for me, is better done when out of combat because you can reach everyone quickly and easy.
Some dungeons have some mechanics that are meant for healers, or done better by the healer, like the mob chase in the old MCHM, or when bosses or adds target the healer. But for the most part, a healer can run around out of combat and heal around. If you are comfortable with a bit less defense and offense/mp regen, you can use movement speed crystals on both armor and weapon.
Lastly, when doing healing runs, I am very aware of the HP and MP bars of the party, while also being alert for anything that could damage me or others. Sometimes you will know a boss attack that will hurt party members, so when you see this attack, ready your heal and cleanse skills to fire them as fast as possible.
Anyway, those were the tips from a noob healer. hope you enjoy the rest of the game and welcome to Tera.
1) You didn't know the mechanics of TSHM but you simply didn't heal, allowing multiple people to die. By the end of the first boss most people were at 10% health or on the ground.
2) You had the wrong crystals even though the welcome message tells you which crystals you should use.
3) Nobody tried to report you for being bad. We literally said because you didn't know the mechanics it was just better for you to just sit on the side and heal and let the two experienced people in the party handle the mechanics.
4) You walked straight into several orange AOE circles on yana and caused yana to absorb two buffs.
5) There were 2 people floormatting the whole time on yana that you refused to res.
6) The tank called for a reset because yana had absorbed two buffs and you didn't know how to res because you said "it'll take you outside the dungeon".
7) We waited 10 minutes for you inside and you still didn't res and we decided to dps down yana.
8) You sat there floormatted and not ressed for a further 10 minutes not doing anything, not even getting into the dungeon.
9) The tank that died "22 times" had full starfall and actually didn't die 22 times. You've exhausted all your neophyte resuscitations by the time yana absorbed the second buff.
10) It was specified at the beginning and before yana that two of the people in the party were going for yana achievements and simply told you to do nothing but heal and stand out to the side, which you didn't do.
It's funny how you change the story and appear to be the victim, even making up something about someone else dying "22 times" when you've wasted all your noobie resses within 5 minutes of the last boss. You are simply a bad healer because you didn't have the right crystals, didn't know how to heal, didn't bother to even read a guide before attempting the dungeon, didn't understand your own skills after 65 levels, and are simply lying about almost everything you've said in this post. Oh, and nobody tried to report you. That's the most inexcusable lie you've made up in this whole thread. You're just a fox trying to generate sympathy by lying to people.
The thing abut the gibberish names is that players who are in the game but did not set up an identity in the forums get those random names. There's a forum thread about how to set your name, but, of course, who reads that? *shrug*
