I really wouldn't go out of my way to slot accuracy for turn 4/5 as a healer. If conflags aren't dying fast enough (or adds in turn 4), it's most likely an issue with the dps players in your group. ...

I would have said something about kill order but nothing more than that, having to realize the price of DF is an occasional bad apple. If it was someone on my server, I'd make a note to never party...

The other day I was doing Ifrit HM as a summoner to get my next relic (bear with me here, I'm a WHM main)...

20% health left and this entire DF group wipes to plumes and eruptions, with just...

1. It's a percentage of your max MP (I don't recall exactly how much). More MP = slightly better regen. Keep in mind shroud regen is a flat value regardless of your MP.

2. I haven't ever seen a...

A big part of solo healing Titan HM has to do with how well everyone else is avoiding things. Having to handle only stomps and MB isn't a big deal, but it becomes difficult if you have people...

I know its been done at around 3900, possibly less that I might not be aware of. I think anything 4000+ is solid. My first attempts were at slightly more than 4k and I never died to it.

The det to mind ratio is a rough approximation at 5 to 1. I'm not claiming it's exact, but its pretty close at 50 when we're talking i90 gear. Close enough for this discussion at least.

When I...

Apologies if this is a bit long, but SS gets a bad rap by people who don't understand the value of it and I feel the need to explain with the power of logic why some people choose it.

Issue 1 - SS...

And I would go:

Weapon > MND (higher iLevel) > SS > Det > Crit
*(PIE and VIT comes naturally on i90 gear)

There isn't a clear cut BiS because some people prefer Det, some prefer SS, a handful...

This is a common fallacy in the argument against spell speed. It isn't about HPS or healing throughput. It's about getting off that single vital heal after you tank has taken huge spike damage from...

What you should buy depends on if you favor spell speed or determination, assuming you are looking to buy BiS first. You should be spending myth first and foremost on things you will never replace....

There is also one in Central Thanalan near the Sultantree.

Sometimes its not necessarily about how fast you can spam things over time, but rather how fast you can get off that one single important spell when you need it asap. Spell speed helps there.

On...

This isn't exact, but it's roughly

5 det = 1 mind = 1.5hp per 400 potency cure. Post above me holds to this formula rather well. This gives you a general idea of effectiveness.

Spell speed is...

That doesn't take into account overhealing at all.

Say we have a tank at 3500/6000hp. Or 4500/6000hp that takes another 1000 in damage while you're healing.

You cure for 1000 (spell speed) or...

People fail to understand how little of a difference a BiS determination setup vs a BiS spell speed setup really makes. From another thread I posted in...

Minor differences all around. While...

The only potential problem I can see in the future is new vs existing players. And it may not even be a problem depending on how they itemize it.

Say the level cap is 70 at some future point, and...

It's been awhile since I've looked at the extrapolated formulas, but I believe it's roughly 5 det = 1 mind. I believe how much mind cures depends roughly on your weapon's potency, among other...

All of the above might be true, but ask yourself if an extra 50hp on a Cure really makes a significant impact either? If any of it goes into overhealing, it's completely useless. Healing up 2000hp...

Cast on everyone before a pull.
In WP, cast before Tonberry King uses Everybody's Grudge.
In HM Garuda, cast on tanks right before adds spawn to lessen initial healing needed.
In HM Titan, cast...

Spell speed isn't just about "how many cures I need to cast in a row before I fit in an extra cure."

Spell speed is also about getting off any potency of a cure after your tank takes a huge spike...

My favorite is probably in WP mass pull speed runs.

(Cleric Stance) Holy -> Swiftcast -> Holy -> Drop CS during GCD if necessary to resume heals. It's impressive burst aoe.

Sometimes I will...

It's called a secondary stat for a reason. Though, I would say the argument against crit for a WHM is legit.

You can clear all content with a focus on determination.
You can clear all content...

Full DL + relic is recommended but you really don't even need that if you're good and know the fight. The FC I'm in now had a WHM heal up to turn 4 with 3 pieces of AF1 (yes the lvl 45/50 stuff) and...

Nothing to do with UI or being bugged or whatever. oGCD abilities have animation delay, in that you generally can't use them when you are in animation of another ability.

With oGCDs, you can...
