Please tell me there will be less healers soon...

[Materia85]

Makoto try not to take it as everyone wanting to be a healer. As stated by some of the other members, some jobs require Conj to be at least at lvl 15 before they can unlock said job - aka Paladin. I also listened to a podcast recently that sort of put the aspect of Scholars into perspective for me. Considering there will be longer larger battles to come, having Scholars around can actually be somewhat beneficial in the long run as they can help deviate the mass amount of healing attention that a White Mage is required to upkeep. I tried out the CONJ class just to experience a healer's role, and so far I hate it - I mean I like the idea of healing people on a whim and being able to Raise fallen players in the field, but in actual combat I heal improperly to where I acquire too much aggro. That said, it's not everyone's cup of tea, so I'd give it a few months and then you can start to see where everyone wants to focus their attention towards.

Hope that helps a bit. ^_^

-Cheers!

40% of people making healers? to say your numbers are off would be the biggest understatement of the century. last I checked its between 15 min and 2 hours for a DPS que, healers instant. how would that be possible if there are 2 DPS roles per group but almost half of all people are healers? QQ

For healers below 30 most probably because there is pretty much only the conj who can queue as healer, above that level we wait like everyone else for queues to pop.

I'm sure others have said it. But be sure to enable other languages in your duty finder. I think the default is just English for us.
But be sure to click on Japanese, German and French as well. As long as you don't mind playing with people from other parts of the world. From my experience in FFXI, I find that people from other countries mostly have a pretty good understanding of the English language. And the auto-translate function works very well for basic phrases.
I had a DF Brayflox this morning with a Japanese group, and it went great.

Leveling a conj is pretty much the easiest thing, so I think its a popular choice for people, especially new mmo players

Plus having cure while leveling any other class is super helpful

So just to update. I've been 50 WHM for a while now, and que is still never more than 5 mins, and is usually instant.

Yes, there definitely aren't THAT many healers at 50. If I sign up to DF on WHM or SCH it is instant enter. Also judging by the shouts at Revenant's Toll, Healers are always needed.

Eh, really? I can't complain about my queues, but five minutes is quite quick. Mine usually end up taking ten minutes on an average.

It's probably the most boring and mind-numbing experience I had levelling any class in any MMO, ever.

Until level 22:
Stone, Stone, Stone, Stone, Stone, Stone. Maybe Fluid Aura if the mob is casting something.

After level 22:
Stone II, Stone II, Stone II, Stone II, Stone II, Stone II. Maybe open with Stone if it's a melee mob and is worthwhile to kite (nb: pretty much none of the mobs the player has to kill during quests are like this)

cross class arcanist and black mage spells. also, your not DPS, you excel at healing, preferably dungeon healing.

Use your dots, it adds like 2 extra buttons to press (Aero and Thunder) and it's more damage, now things are getting exciting! :P
