Dear Conjurors who are new to MMO's

[Drekor]

Just a friendly reminder, you're primary role is healing. In almost half of my dungeon runs conjurors have completely forgotten to heal and had the part wiped out.

Eh, just ranting i guess.

Yea... that would explain why people think I'm doing such a great job because I'm to lazy to micromanage cleric stance and use stone2 so I just stand there and use cure while watching netflix...

[Hysterior]

friendly reminder as well that when someone does a dungeons for the first time, a message tell you so
if you know the dungeons or know the game mechanics, please take the time to tell people how to do, especially on the lower level dungeon
people are playing alone most likely until those dungeon so they might not know how to do their job properly
please take time to explain instead of complaining post-wipe
it really takes about a minute, it will make your experience more enjoyable and they will learn what is expected of them

thank you ^^

I think a good player, regardless which job they play, knows how to adjust to the situation.
Like some posters have said, there is no point for a CNJ to just stand around if there is no need for healing for the moment.
Healer role is one of the most important roles in any game so I would hope people who choose to step into these big shoes, know their responsibility. Same goes for the tanks. Without a good tank or a good healer, there is no party.

My friend constantly tells me that I'm to heal and that's it. I can understand that statement somewhat as my job as a healer is to heal, but as mention by Nibelung beforehand there is a lot I as a CNJ can do to assist ones own party. Sadly no matter I try to tell him otherwise he turn slightly a deaf ear at me.

I've yet to get my copy of the game so I can't continue my progress of finding a good balance to when I should focus on heal and find windows to assist with Cleric Stance and the like.

Guess from my experience that my only complaint are when all the party members take damage. I'm guessing it's merely a bad tank but I have a lot to do when I got three rather than one to heal and sometimes it has happened one or two has fallen as I was not quick enough to help.

Thankfully being a healer in FFXIV ARR is fun and I will strive towards to become one of the best healers, in Odin at least.

My play style is heal-bot but if everyone is topped off I will throw a quick DoT on a boss mob (Really need to get some cross spells). So far I haven't made it into TTD but I'm getting close and in Guildhests I've received a compliment or two. Haven't unlocked sleep yet but obviously I'll use that to mine and my parties advantage.


At the end of the day it's all about that healer pride. Love playing support.

I am a healer and a good one at that I hope. But I feel that I can still dps when*my party is not in need of my healing skills

[KimimiAvesta]

If everyone's topped off, the adds are asleep and Protect/Stoneskin's up on everyone I'll throw a quick Aero onto the main target but I'm not going to all-out attack - I figure people are going to be more angry if I run out of MP at a critical moment because I spammed Stone than they are if I hang back and "just" make sure everyone's alive.

This is my position on the matter. My attacks are no good if they're spending all my MP that could be used in a sketchy situation.

I find it extremely hard to run out of MP in this game

[KimimiAvesta]

True, but it's not impossible - especially when everyone's learning and/or readjusting to ARR. I don't think anyone can really make a fair complaint about a healer spending most of their time healing, and it's clear to me from the abilities WHM is given that they are in no way an effective DD class - emergency or otherwise.
