I haven't encountered life tap in a horrible situation yet, my friends use it when I party with them but I usually have no problems throwing them a heal. I know I can afford the sP and usually they are low on silver so I don't mind at all. But I did encounter one mage when grinding in MT that really turned my crank. o_x
I was soloing on ice vivis, and usually I can kill them fast enough they don't have time to cast the speed-reduction thing, but sometimes I get unlucky and they do it right off the bat or one will cast it when I'm fighting a different monster. D: I'm a good little cleric, I heal and revive and all that good stuff. And usually mages around me are very nice and dispel me when I'm trying to get from point A to point B at half the speed. But I encountered one mage that seemed very determined only to use dispel on himself. I watched him use it three times on himself without a thought.
He used life tap once and without even thinking I just healed him as I walked by. Got hit with slow, ran past him again on my way to the next vivi. No dispel. Okay fine~ Don't share I don't care.
o_O; But instead he runs up to me, uses life tap, and then says "heal me". I mean. D: I'm standing there blue and all you want is to use me to regain your sP, and I'm supposed to heal you? xD; I walked away and he got mad and whispered me "do your job and heal me."
Ugh~! I guess it depends on the mage who uses it. But when an idiot uses it with the mentality that I can be the one to waste my sP and not him, well...yeah. That's when I dislike the mages who use it. >_> (And I'm sooo not healing him again. xD)
