I typically watch the dps hp, if I see that they are 10%_25% low, I just spam medics until everyone has full health. Reason I spam medica instead of cure 2, I won’t have to worry about my tank dying from any severe hits.
Also reason I spam medica, I know my tank will hold hate no matter what.
Sorry that’s the best I can tell you right now.
But at higher lvls, I normally use regen and stone skin whenever I get the chance.
Example:
Tank had full hp > I cast regen to give me opportunity to cast stone skin with out worry of tank dying.
Cast stone skin on self first.
If tank still at full hp and my DPS lost stone skin after start, I cast on them. My reasoning is, if stone skin can prevent you from taking direct crit damage, it’s well worth it.
Another thing I like to do, is regen + cure1, this will give me a chance to get free cures, which of course saves mp.
If for some stupid reason, we all take dmg from an AoE, I do
Presence of mind > divine seal > medica
Then while those two are still active, cast regen on tank (not sure if it makes a difference having divine seal on cast, need to test out).
^this should have your dps and tank at full hp. Having tank at full hp is helpful to get regen on your dps, makes it less likely to wipe, I think at least.
Yeah, that’s about it… But I suck as whm so may want others input lol
Should I, as the healer, turn off the lamps or leave it up to DPS? I was getting the two nearest, but it seems that it causes the adds that spawn to make a beeline to me.
I didn’t have a problem healing until all of the adds were on me. Then with the interrupts and having to move out of the bombs’ aoe it became hard to get anything off and I’d die
If your tank is near full health or is at full health, I would suggest helping. If tank is 50% or lower, heal then help.
Reason you want to help, less dmg will happen to your party, and DPS can go back to helping tank kill boss.
Man I dunno how I feel about this shit now that every guide I’m looking at is nothing but ranged shit.
It’s kinda making me feel more and more irrelevant. I mean I’m staying a mnk, but I hope it’s not like DCUO when people don’t pick you because you decided to run like…Ice DPS or weakass telekinesis
Edit: nvm I forgot summoner is still a class, I’ll won’t be getting left out.
I dunno why you sweatin it so much when it’s pretty obvious a number of us in FC/LS are perfectly happy to play with pretty much anyone no matter the class. I mean i shit on ACNs a lot in the chat, but if someone in LS/FC is playing one, I’ll still play with them provided they aren’t retarded.
I decided to bite the bullet and grab this game, convinced a friend of mine to come along as well. You guys are all on Leviathan right? Got room for a couple scrubs?
Found out where SWBeta’s Reborn username comes from. OMFG, what a furry.
And now his avatar is super anime? Ultra Anime Furry Weeaboo should be your name!!
Ran the Manor again with a different group. Only one other person had experience in it. One shot the whole thing with ease. I’m gonna chalk up my previous run to a poor group.
Yeah says Leviathan is full. Will there be free server transfers at some point? I know there have been a lot of server problems and I’ve heard talk that SE may implement them.
Character Creation opens and closes periodically throughout the day, just check back a little later and you’ll find a spot on Leviathan. Also…
DDs like DRG and MNK are still required for a balanced party set-up in current endgame (talking about Coil of Bahamut here) so I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Sure, the mouthbreather army is going to flock to BRD because it’s simultaneously one of the scrubbiest and most effective classes to play right now, but a whole group of them is far from an ideal set up.
That’s not to say it’s all peachy in melee DD land since the ranged ones typically have more utility ontop of their competent damage output, but it’s nowhere near lolpup tier or any other shit class phase in FFXI.
