Nice thread. About the GLD healing themselves for threat, as mentioned it's a pathetic heal, and in that cast time you could use flash or a threat skill, by the time your cure has gone off the mob would have hit you again kinda negating the cure itself.

I have never been a heals before. My motto was always, I kill..I don't heal.

Well my WHM is currently 46...it has surprised me and become a very fun job. I didn't reach and every post here so some of what I will say may have been covered already.

Focus target(FT) is your friend. I put the tank as FT so that I can quickly select him when needed. This being because I am healing other party members and have them selected. This also allows me to keep an eye on the tank if I have to deal with other things / mobs.

My UI has the party list to the left of my quickslots. This way I can easily select a party member that is in need of heals as opposed to trying to tab through or mouse over them.

I always put dots on the mob the tank is currently engaged in. An example of my aero macro is:

/micon "Aero"
/ac "Aero" <t>
/ac "Aero" <tt>

Having it set up this way give me the icon with the CD timer, it also prioritizes... So if I am in the field it will shoot off on my target <t>. When healing it will apply to my "Targets Target" <tt>

Aero and stone I place on every mob. Not huge, but it helps.

Here is a post with some useful macro's if your interested in that sort of thing. >>CLICKY<<

GL to you on the road ahead, it's actually pretty fun.

I don't know as I pay much attention to my own health most of the time, I wasn't looking for a way to grab enmity by curing myself, just curious. That said, last night, my healer DC'd, and my little, low level 20 MRD was left to die. Kept going with BLM and myself healing until a real healer arrived.

Nice work!

I got into a Bray HM the other day on my BLM, healer had connection issues only during bosses...so I was main heals with just psykic (sp?). It worked out.

Sorry to hear your MRD ate it. Happens though, and the dirt in these places is sometimes,..well...DELICIOUS!!!!
