Fate grind as WHM - how to get max exp?

Hello,

this is a question for my friend who plays a WHM. I keep telling him to go grind FATE's in a group for really good experience. but....each time he tells me that he is getting a very low contribution to each fight. he is healing and trying to dmg as many mobs as possible but in most cases the mobs are dead instantly (bc of such a large zerg).

any information on how the contribution works in fate groups or particular advice for WHM in these grps?

thanks

Spam Aero.

Yup thats what I do as a CJN. Works for me. Either that or I pick up on the weakest person and heal them to no end. Usually npcs.

Whenever there are 15-20 people involved with a fate, it's pretty easy to get gold rewards. It's when there's 50-75 with everyone spamming AoE that it get tough to get above a bronze. Mobs are literally dead within 1-2 second of spawning, and no one is taking any damage to speak of. Makes getting credit through healing really tough.

Also OP, I think there's something bugged with your characters face. Looks really weird/ugly :/

Aero 1 mob at a time. Profit.

don't hate on my face!

She was going for that Nicki Minaj look.

When I'm playing as my 38 White Mage and doing FATEs: If there are multiple mobs, I tab through them using Aero on each of them. Most of the time they die too fast to do anything else, but if I land on one that's full health I also use Stone II. If an enemy gets close I use Fluid Aura. Sometimes, if I can't seem to get much of a hit on anything, I run up to a monster and use Fluid Aura, then Stone. The other players are too lazy to run after it so they attack a different monster, leaving that one for me. If I'm doing a single-target NM FATE, then I stand as far back as I can and Aero, Thunder (from THM), Stone II, then just use Stone II until Aero runs off so I can start it all again. I usually get around the most exp you can get. If it's an NM FATE and people are actually taking a lot of damage, I usually heal instead, but still use Aero and Thunder occasionally.

Thanks Ardbob. I will try using the Fluid Aura method tonight.

It's based on how much hate you generate. The few FATEs I've done I just applied Regen on as many people as possible as it gives you hate per tic which adds up the more people it's on.

Wait... even if they're not missing HP I still gain enmity/credit? That would solve my problem right quick haha....
