Tam-tara is such a hard dungeon.

Well as a whm I do put protect, but I still hardly ever heal in tamtara. Most of the time I can just dps and let the tank regen his health after the fight, at most he needs a cure per pull. The only monsters that do some real damage are the Void Soulcounter and the final boss. Oh, and the room with the last orb as well, because of the number of enemies.

I never had anyone give me shit for only having cleric stance in lowbie dungeons.

Hell, I had an ARC do protect when I said I only had cleric stance, and they were happy I, a healer, planned dpsed at all to make the dungeon go faster.

I actually had OP in my party today(Pretty sure, I think) when I was doing roulette on my PLD. It was in Tam Tara even. I was surprised at the lack of Protect at first, but really the increased damage was pretty negligible. SCH is overkill in low level dungeons anyway so not having Protect is not really a big deal.

OP: You could have avoided the whole drama simply by being more tactful about it. I don't have protect loaded as default even in 50 dungeons, if people comment on it I simply offer to load it up if they will wait for a minute on my cooldowns. Problem solved with little fuss or drama.

As for the comments of 'you're here to heal'. Don't underestimate how much dps a geared SCH can do on low/mid level trash pulls, it's far from insignificant damage. Cutting the time spent on trash by 30% or more is nothing to be sniffed at.

I've always assumed Protect is more important than just 10% more def O.o I remember running around in S. Thanalan while levelling, and those sabotenders with their 100 needles did 100 damage without Protect, 50 damage with Protect (non-boosted). Maybe attacks like that are treated differently?

I'm going slightly off topic, however I just wanted to say that the # Needles share damage. Meaning, another person was near you and took 50 damage as well. Same thing happens with Fireballs in T5 after all. Protect actually wasn't protecting in that case.

I use macros while targeting the tank my dots hit the tanks target and non stop cast example:
/pac embrace <t>
/ac ruin/bio/miasma/"bio II" <tt>

That way every time you cast the tank will get hit by embrace and you still get to dot and tank pretty much stays full health

Your fairy is programmed to heal any ally below 85% hp. You cannot control the who even with obey.

When in town you can put protect as cross class, use it in the dungeon and then swap for cleric stance and you won't suffer the 30 second penalty.

Hi, people should relax a bit and let each one do his job, especially in an easy place.

I have met, playing as a tank, lately in the Expert Level roulette SCH who go in Cleric Stance all the way, no problems at all, super smooth run, nobody said anything.

Why complain and judge if there have been no problems yet?

A question now: somebody said EoS is a level 30 SCH pet. How is it you can use EoS in the lower level dungeons?

[Moqi]

The skill used to summon it is low level, the same you use to summon blue carbuncle, but you have to have the sch stone equipped, which you get at lvl 30.
