I understand where it came from. I really do. But that comment just infuriated the hell out of me. I don't know everything about every healer job because, again, I'm not a healer main. I'm still learning, even though I'm almost lvl60. Having someone be an ass to you is really off-putting.Quote:

Whenever I'm off healing SephEx and get one of those slow main healers on the green/purple blob -> AOE -> AOE section in phase 1.
You know the ones. They're terrifying. Swiftcast is a thing - use it. -

My recent healing horror story: healing M4 last night, helping FC and LS mates get their weekly loot. Our first couple of runs went fine, and I was on SCH. Then we did a SCH/SCH run that made me switch to AST for the buffs. We wiped. And we wiped. And we wiped. Between the tank not swapping, dps not burning adds resulting in debuffs, and just general chaos, that one was an abandon. I switched to WHM for power heals, got an AST co-healer, and that one was two more wipes before we managed to clear it by the skin of our teeth. -

I have tanked Shiva before, the other healer died, I ressed the healer, the summoner and then reraised the tanks because half of our party died. It wasn't that difficult though, just surprising!

03-10-2016, 06:46 PMCyrilLuciferI like to use Swiftcast for the first blob/AOE/AOE and Lightspeed for the second (assuming you don't hit a third blob set because you have decent damage). This lets me keep Swiftcast for Raise in case someone makes a mistake during add phase.Quote:

This post is more for apologizing for being some poor healer's horror story. I can't remember what we were running, it might have been A3, might have been a dungeon it's been a while. But I remember I was talking to a friend of mine and adequately distracted but I've managed to talk and tank all the time so no biggie right? Wrong. First pull didn't realize I was on the wrong hot bar, tried to pull a mob with sprint, wonder why I ran right by the mob so fast, but oh well no big deal I'll circle of scorn then flash.....wait why did I just cover and divine veil? Somehow it STILL didn't click to me that it was me screwing up and not the game out to get me. After the wipe the healer goes "So....drunk tank?" Thankfully I figured out what the problem was, apologized, and the run went fine from there.

Once you learn it, it's piece of cake -
03-12-2016, 12:44 AMtechnoleYou can save multiple people if they get clip damaged by those green/purple puddles by swift casting/lightspeed your AoE. It's about using the right skills at the right time.Quote:
