Not healing Damage Dealers

when i whm guess the only real pet peeve i have is when DD that's getting hit decides to just kinda stay there taking hits or when a DD goes into red hp and doesn't even allow a second or two for a heal to be que'd. It is my job as a whm to heal you from an unavoidable big hit but then when you decide to stay there and take more big hits and you die because cures cant keep you alive and cura has a cd then at least have the decency to recognize your mistake. Admittedly as someone that used to heal in WoW at least the overall "healers fault" ideology in FF 14 is considerably less present, but when you nag a healer it makes them wanna heal you even less. :P

If you're healing the tank only in a party as a white mage. You need another profession.

Unless there is 2 WHM and one is designated as the tank healer. Of course this is totally situational based on skills of WHM A or B. Though in general nothing wrong with an assigned healer doing his assigned job.

seems like u need to talk to your party not all of FFXIV hmmm....................?

Lol do people not read at all? RANDOM PARTY... geeze

not this thread again plz let the topic die alreadr thh forum is ment to help the dev team with ideas not sit here and cry about other pc the drama forum is down the hall ty

ffxiv illustrates what happens when you make lvl'ing too casual. You end up with situations where good players don't want to intermix with pugs and when your in pugs you deal with players who make retarded decisions constantly.

ex. running to wolves camp and healers see members taking dmg on the way their reaction is to pop curaga even though half the party is not in range, or cura on a war who has taken 25% of dmg loss from gathering up a group of mobs. Then pulling hate before the war gets off SS and then dieing. Then the BRD proceeds to dps single target at close range and rather then raise the whm or use aoe out of combo they try combo'ing and using up their TP so they have none left for rain of death/wide volley. Best part is the party probably wipes rather then running back to the previous gate to let the mobs leash.

Not as far as game mechanics go. This is strictly a PC problem. {Brain} {You can have this}
Also, not everyone speaks English as a first language.

It basically comes down to this:
-As a WHM, your job is to heal and not die
-As a DD, your job is to do damage and not die
-As a Tank, your job is to keep aggro and not die

If the DD makes a mistake, it's his fault. Should you heal him? Yes. If you don't, then neither of you are doing your job. If he's consistently taking too much damage, replace him. If the DD are taking reasonable amounts of damage occasionally but not getting heals, the WHM should be replaced.

Mistakes happen, that's fine. Neglect isn't (regardless of whether it's done by a DD or a WHM).
