Talk about healers that dps instead of heal......

I'm talkin' 'bout you Cecily. The absolute worst healer in this game, lol. I'm trying tanking just to see if I like it and I figured squadrons would be the best place to try it....but nooooo Cecily insists on dpsing while I'm at 4% health, then the adds decide they want to come from a mile away to join in and welp....another death. Geeze fix the squadron healer please.My repair bill needs it. Thanks, lol.

You should see Urianger heal sometimes.

I swear, if you do a trust as a tank, half the time he just decides to not heal at all.

Alphy is way better than Urianger, he should go back to being an arcanist.

I love this post!

:)

Alphimaud is the healer you take when you don't want to bother with doing mechanics as the tank. Urianger is the one you take when you want to be required to do them.

Explained perfectly.

We also have a Dorkly video for this.

Squadron stances dictate their behavior. Place the healer on Defensive and they'll prioritise healing you. Though this doesn't solve the issue of them taking a minute to catch up if you happen to go out of their range.

My experience with Alphinaud is that he spends more time DPSing then healing and is slow to react to needing to heal and often times gets hit by AoEs because of this. While Urianger will prioritize healing over doing DPS, so long as you are within range, and even to the point where he will take AoEs to complete his casts. Making him a very unsafe healer. Which is why I pair him with his sister so that she can dual cast raise him.

I much prefer Urainger as my Trust healer because he uses Diurnal so he applies regens, he has a skill he will occasionally use that inflicts Death on the target, and his version of Gravity comes with a 20 sec Slow and does damage to the entire pack. That 20 sec slow is really great for large pulls as it greatly reduces mob damage output.
