Conjurer Healing Questions

Soooo.......I have a few questions i would really appreciate to be answered.

1st- Is there a certain lvl were you can officially pick your role
2nd- Were is all the Conjurer specific gear at! I see gladiator gear all the time. No conjurer? Or again do you need to become a certain lvl to start obtaining conjurer healer gear
3rd- Are there things that i should be doing while leveling up to become a better healer?

I am currently a level 11, but on other MMO's I started building up my healer at about a level 10 so not sure. THX for looking and hope to hear something:D

Level 30 is when you can choose your advanced class.
Gear is gotten from quests and dungeons. Mouse over your quest rewards for the class acronym CNJ. It will be green, which means that this is for you.
Becoming a better healer has less to do with leveling up, and more to do with group content. If you want to be a good healer, learn the cast times of your spells, learn when and where to use them, learn what stats support healing spells and do lots of dungeons when you can. Even the guildhests. You cannot become a good healer overnight, it takes practice and lots of patience.

Thank you for your help..
It seems as though all the gear that drops from quests is quests and dungeons is either for decip. of war or for all classes, so of coarse i choose the all classes. Hopefully when i start to get into higher levels more conjurer gear will come with my missions. Again thank you and if you have any other suggestions im all ears!

also this doesnt have to do with healing but does anyone know if they will be adding mic capabilities to ps3 or ps4

Majority of your quests will have a reward for you. XP food buff, potion or gear. Rarely does it give you rewards that give you no benefit. When it does, just select the far right one - an item the you just vendor for Gil.

And there is no word yet on exactly what functionality the Vita will have in regards to this game.

Lvl 21 Conj here and i've noticed too a very low number of Conj drops during dungeons too :(

To become a better healer what i did was to go to a populated hunting ground [area where a lot of people do their leves] and try and keep everybody healed. Of course since you aren't on their teams, you'll have to display PC health bars constantly via the options but this creates an awareness within you to be constantly checking out a large number of health bars and to teach you the basic skill of move + heal.

Seems like such a simple idea but it really does help a lot and got me personally ready for the dungeon runs i then have done. Simply this is because my mind is now trained/ready for 10 - 15+ players which constantly need heals compared to a dungeon in which i only have to heal 1/2 people at a time.

Plus, you get a lot of "thank you"s while "training" there which always makes a healer feel good :D

When you start to get to the higher content of the game you will have a challenge ahead of you. But don't be afraid of not becoming healer when coming to this point. When you have practice growing up in to the lvls and doing dungeon runs. You will be fine, later on you will deal with heavy spike damage special in HM primal fights. and here is a tip always use cure I, in order to use Cure II how i do it is when i have the perk pop where u get to use cure II for free then use it if you use it with out that perk, you will burn through your mp fast. Also dont over heal as while. When you get the spell regen, this spell will help you on the tank and spot heal where its very hard to heal others at times. Cure III never used it to much mana cost I like to use Medic II but rarely because of the regen buff it gives I leave this option to u if you want to use it or not. But it also good to know the fights before you go in to them. youtube

They've said before that they will not be adding mic capabilities to this game, iirc. Using a 3rd party thing (ie, Vent, Mumble.) with your LS/FC on your computer is a-o-kaay though!

Another thing i noticed was while getting better gear....a lot of other MMO's have where you can equip an piece of clothing and not have to wear it because it might not match what you want to wear or for your personal style. I wanted to know if i could do that on this game, right now my character looks like a train wreck lol

You can only turn on / off of head gear and main + secondary weapon and tool (when sheated).

The All Classes gear is designed for healers or magic dps. That is why it has MND and INT on it. There is very little class specific gear in general until later levels.

There is very few Mage outfits that look decent because they all look the same as you level.
Even the Mage drop of level 31 I believe looks the same as every other friggin' robe in this game.
They really missed the mark on robes...Really hope they change it up a bit in future patches.

If you want to be a better healer, do a lot of dungeons once you unlock them at 15. Sub-thirty dungeons tend to have very little sporadic damage, so you have plenty of time to develop good technique. There is a tendency for new healers to tunnel vision onto the party window and play whack-a-mole. This is not ideal, though for the most part it will satisfy your role. The best advice I can give you is to grow accustomed to actually watching the fight. There are a ton of indicators in combat that let you know where the damage is likely to fall. You can see which DPS is moving too slow to get out of the AoE, or when the mob is winding up for a big attack on the tank. This allows you to be a proactive healer, rather than reactive, and better prioritize where your healing is most needed. Make use of the HP bars floating over each character's head! Of course, the party window (and focus target, enemy list, primary target) are very useful references, and I have them all arranged surrounding my character for ease of view, but it doesn't provide all of the pertinent information.

Also, quality of life tip: If you are attempting to heal people outside of your party, such as in a FATE, the best place to click on them to target them is the little HP bar over their heads. It's very hit or miss if you try to select them by clicking their body I've found, but the HP bar is quite reliable.

Can't believe no one answered this. Gear, you don't get Cnj gear til late late. Your gear is just DoM gear. That has all your stats. The reason Gla and Mrd have gear for themselves are because they're tanks - they need vitality, strength, and parry - not determination, crit or any of the DoW classes need. As a healer, you share the same stats with dps casters at that level. All you need is Mind and Piety - even determination helps I believe. Most caster gear at lower levels has those stats.

Personally i find that the easiest/quickest method is to target players through enemies, though thats my personal viewpoint :)

Yes, I assist heal often, but since a lot of damage ends up being splash damage, the people who need healing aren't always being targetted by any mob.

great topic as i am enjoying my secondary healer class a lot.

1Damz can you explain what you mean by targetting players thru enemies?

thanks all.

Just that when you click/tab onto an enemy, you can see who they are targetting/attacking via the players name/bar next to the enemy's health bar. Then its just a simply click onto that name to heal quickly :)

Though like v_jones says, its only really useful low/mid level as splash damage comes into consideration as you level up but its a good way to start training i feel.

For reference. You can target the player by using /assist, set a keybind for Target the Target of Your Current Target under the Targetting tab, and/or make a macro: /ac "nameOfHeal" <tt> as well.

ah ok thanks appreciate the explanation.

I also seem to have the same problem at level 22 of all the gear that drops none is conjurer specific , i tend to end up in "all Class's" gear , i am even leveling weaving in the hope i can actually craft better gear than drops. I have yet to see any specific healer gear drop in dungeons , i see lots of warrior, lancer and glad stuff drop but no caster gear.

This is a fairly standard trait in MMOs, and in Final Fantasy games. As a general rule, everybody can wear cloth, everybody but casters can wear leather, heavy/slow DD and tanks can wear scale/chain/light metal armor, and only tanks and sometimes heavy DD can wear the heaviest armor. Of course, just because everyone can wear cloth doesn't mean everyone wants to. You won't see tanks or melee rolling Need on caster gear in dungeons; even though we could wear it, we don't want it, and if it has caster stats, we can't roll Need.

There really isn't CNJ-specific armor (See this list), but as you can see, there are some DoM-specific items, and at higher levels, healer-specific items. And there is WHM-specific armor at higher levels (list).

As I said previously, the All Classes gear IS both the healer and magic DPS gear. It has stats for both types. It is designed for ACN, CNJ and THM. As you gain more levels, you will see stuff with only MND or only INT on it, but at low levels, it is all the same.
