solohealing A1N is so hard that I get to wonder : "How did you survive at all ?"

That's one unnecessary remark. S/he's not a main healer and wasn't expecting having to soloheal (so wasn't prepared to counter all damage alone).
Also, s/he was happy by being able to solo-heal it, so why make this kinda comment?

Why ? because I'd rather not mislead her into believing the responsability was on her co-healer only. Yes, scholars should spend a large amount of time in dps stance, yes they will heal, even when you don't notice a stance change, and certainly NO, A1N isn't hard to heal in solo, if you have a semi-decent gear and average party.
I don't see what good it would do to not tell her that, or to say nothing.

Of course there was no shield oath. CC is a level 38 dungeon. SO would have been unavailable.

Cutter's Cry syncs you to a maximum of level 40, though.

On Oppressors I was fully prepared to heal until the split, which I did (for some reason prey was always me, yay) but damn if that SCH never switched out of CS the entire fight. Maaaaaaybe once for an Indomitability. Maybe.

As someone who is in no way a healer main, it was a little unnerving that it was just expected I solo heal the entire raid - and I'm not even geared at i200 yet on heals.

On the other hand, yay, I did it?

Was this me lol? I tend to do this a lot if I see that the other healer is coping ok. I'll throw an adlo on preys and adlo + eye for an eye on tank with dep tacts on jump but that's it really.

Wasn't me (again) ninja in Ifrit hm ate all the charges and dies, then blames the whm for not having medica II up.

I've recently begun playing around on my whm again. I took it to 36 a long time ago for Pld Stoneskin. Figured I might as well level it. Anyway, Cutter's Cry this evening. Warrior tank, level synced. I think Ok, this will be fine, I've had good luck with tanks today.

Nope. Paper tank. First pull and the 3 mobs are chewing through him like butter. Checked, yeah, he's in Defiance. So I check his gear. He's wearing the lv 50 relic gear/artifact/whatever they're calling it now, the second Job specific stuff. And a lv 30 Steel Cuirass. And lv 9 accessories. I was lucky if I could get an Aero in on mobs between keeping the tank from eating it and the blm standing in random aoes/field hazards.

I will admit without shame that I usually never drop the CS on A1NM except for huge emergency
The damage are so ridiculously low (compare to the savage) that I expect my partner to solo it easely XP
(But i always check his stuff... To know if he has enough healing output to do it)

The best A1NM i did
Was solo heal (me as AST) and solo tank (war) and a pack of 6 blood-craving DPS
So fun but sometime so hard XD
