How to add more fun to the healer role~

As a healer your dps isn't going to be impressive, but every little bit helps, and as long as the fight allows it, why not do some dps instead of just standing there picking your nose waiting for someone to get hit ;)

Everyone knows scholar is more fun than white mage... The moves are fast and flashy. The only thing cool a white mage has is holy which is rarely used because we dont want to waste mana...

Oh god, this always ends with Nuns with guns.

WHY ALWAYS WITH THE NUNS AND THEIR GUNS!?!??

/ac "Cleric Stance" <me>
/wait 1
/ac "Aero II" <t>
/wait 4
/ac "Cleric Stance " <me>

I would change it a little:


/ac "Cleric Stance" <me>
/wait 1
/ac "Aero II" <tt>
/wait 4
/ac "Cleric Stance " <me>

Same thing but it deals Damage to the target of your target now. SO you can keep your tank as the target, use the macro, deal damage to the tanks target and continue the heal without even switching targets.

For both SCH and WHM, the damage abilities are there for a reason. If you aren't using them, you're not playing your job fully, but only filling your main function and nothing more. I don't have much experience from Coil yet, but at least up to that SCH and WHM should definitely DD in every single instance. MP shouldn't be an issue and healers should never just stand still waiting for HP bars to go lower when they can play their job more actively and effectively.

Unless you're new to 50 content or pre-50 and just learning the job, then it's of course best to start from healing and progress from there. :)

Whao.. all the marco commands.. (>_<

I got myself a Razer Naga 2014 edition instead. The mechanical side buttons are cool.

lol I do this anyway. SCH/SMN has one of the coolest looking aoe's in the game.. it needs to be seen.. I macro all my abilities with <tt> for DPS reasons:

Debuff:

/micon "Virus"
/ac Virus <t>
/ac Virus <tt>
/wait 1
/ac Bio <t>
/ac Bio <tt>
/wait 2
/ac Miasma <t>
/ac Miasma <tt>
/wait 3
/ac "Bio II" <t>
/ac "Bio II" <tt>

If i fire off this macro and then notice the tank is having trouble i move to interrupt and tap the cure button, the move will interrupt anything that is about to cast and the cure will cancel out the macro's next spell.

DPS:

/micon "Ruin II"
/ac "Ruin II" <t>
/ac "Ruin II" <tt>

Mana Regen:

/micon "Energy Drain"
/ac "Energy Drain" <t>
/ac "Energy Drain" <tt>

I like the variations in your macros, Denzel, it's fool proof. :)

Well, now I've got something to do next time I wait for my minio-.. errr party members.. to enter the instance hahaha

I just go through Duty Finder CM and Prae runs in all AF and grey <50 gear and pretend to watch cutscenes while I get some water or tidy up to troll the OMG SPEED RUN GOGOGOGOGOGO zerg rush, then switch to my uber gear and out-tank the tank on the last boss. Makes my runs more fun. My sword, shield and belt are cobalt because 'like, my boyfriend is a crafter, he made them for me' and my jewelry is all garnet 'because it helps me do more damage so i can get more aggro, lol'

I always toss in dps as a healer during AK runs, especially early on in first boss fight on priest , wall because.. yeh who wants to only press medica every time he pushes. I do focus only on healing tho with final boss, because of that debuff on tank
