My dog decided licking my face was of utmost importance at that very moment.

people have serious case of tunnel vision in this game

I will tell you, as an Arcanist (at the time), healing in FATEs is impossible. Like, literally; I went into tons of "boss" FATEs as an Arcanist, saw people dying, and could not heal them. I could con the enemy, I could con carbuncles, I could con minions, I could con myself, but unless you were in a group with me, I could not con any players...at all. My friend just found that out tonight as well (and we both turned off minion and carbuncle cons), as we both watched a tank die to Chupacabra, and he could not con him whatsoever.

Now, I'd expect Conjurers to be able to con others in a FATE, but I'm not sure, 'cause I haven't done a FATE on mine yet. Just saying, it might be possible that they simply couldn't heal you, not that they ignored you.

I can confirm it's equally impossible. However, I did discover one ancient technique from the gods of technologies past that did offer the final solution:

Switch to mouse mode and try to click on the tank in a field of a hundred other mobs, minions, pets, and players.

Once I did select the tank, I locked on, and kept the source of xp alive like my... xp... depended on it.

You can set up an alternate tab function to target only PCs. I have my 'Q' key set to target nearest mobs and 'E' to target nearest PCs. It is under one of those settings. Note: I am on PC so there is that.

Actually I think this is an error in game cause I can heal people fine when I don't have Carbuncle summoned, possibly just have to let SE now and see if this is intentional or not.
